A few miles out of town Kitch-iti-kipi holds its water that impossible green all winter, never freezing, always moving. Blue Oasis Lawn works the town side of the same country: mowing, trimming and edging while the season allows it, plowing and salting once it does not. Manistique winters do not negotiate — snow arrives by the foot, and a drive has to be open before the day can begin. Then May comes, the ground softens, and the mowers head back out for another short bright run. Two kinds of work, one list of addresses, the full circle of the year.
