By late August the corn along Dryden's section roads stands taller than a truck, and the light turns gold about the time the last yard of the day gets its final pass. T&N Outdoor Services, LLC works out of that rhythm — mowing, trimming, and the tidy-up that turns a rough lot back into a lawn. Water is the township's quiet feature: the mill pond in the village, the creeks threading the low fields, the ditch banks that stay green when everything else browns off. Grass on that ground comes fast and uneven, which makes an even cut something worth doing properly. Once the maples turn and the leaves drift against the porch steps, hauling them away is its own kind of reset.
