There is a stretch of morning in Larkin Township, right before the school bus, when every driveway on the block needs to be passable at once. Honeydew Handyman LLC takes the snow half of that list — plowing the drive, shoveling the front steps and walk, cutting a path out to the mailbox so the day can start on time. Small jobs, but they are the ones that decide whether a winter feels manageable. Some houses here belong to people who should not be out on ice at all, and reaching them first is the whole reason for the early alarm. Snow falls, someone comes, the door opens onto clear concrete.
