The old houses along Fourth Street wear their porches like Sunday clothes, and the lawns in front of them ought to match. Historic lawn care mows and trims around the gingerbread and the iron fences, edging close to walks that were poured long before any mower existed. Near the Ramsdell the maples drop a whole autumn in a weekend; cleanups carry it off and hand the yard back. Spring work starts the moment the frost lets go — a first cut, a tidy border, a lawn ready to be looked at. Careful streets deserve careful work, and it shows from the sidewalk.
