October along Conant Street turns the maples loose all at once, and for a few weeks Hamtramck's yards go ankle-deep in gold. Murray Family Landscaping Detroit works through that with leaf cleanups, mowing and edging until the ground goes hard, then trades the mowers for plows and shovels. Winter on these blocks is a matter of inches and angles — where to put the snow when a lot is twenty-five feet wide, how to keep a shared drive passable for both households, when to salt so the steps aren't glass at six in the morning. Spring returns muddy and then suddenly green, and the year restarts with a first cut that always feels like an announcement. The same streets, whatever the sky is doing.
