By late September the corn around Handy township has gone dry and papery, and combines work the fields well past dark. Hayden's Outdoor Services LLC keeps to the yards in that same stretch — the last mowings of the year, cutting back what grew all summer, edging the walks, and cleanups that gather the leaves before a hard freeze pins them down. Autumn light out here comes in low and gold and makes a fresh-cut lawn look lit from underneath. There is a quiet satisfaction in closing a season properly, leaving a yard tidy enough to sit out four months under snow. When the ground wakes again, the same yards get opened right back up.
