Late October in Franklin Township means frost on the windshield at dawn and maples letting go all at once by noon. Thompson's All Season's LLC works the closing end of the year — leaves cleared off lawns and out of the fence corners, final mows cut a little lower, the drive edged one last time before the ground goes hard. Through the warm months the same yards get mowing, trimming and edging on rotation. There is real pleasure in a property put away tidy for the cold, nothing left blowing around. Come spring those same lawns wake up already halfway in order.
