November on the Keweenaw belongs to the lake: gales stack the water against the shore and then send the whole thing back as snow. Superior Lawn Services meets it with plows and shovels, keeping drives and walks open through the long white months that follow. When the melt finally arrives and Calumet's yards turn green in a hurry, the mowers come out for cutting, trimming and cleanup. The peninsula compresses an entire year into a few emphatic seasons, and both halves of the work are done in earnest. An open drive in February and a fresh-cut lawn in July are two versions of the same good feeling.
