Between Marlette's fields there are still woodlots and old windbreak rows, and the land around them keeps a person busy in every direction. Woody's Land Maintenance and Firewood works that ground — lawns mowed and trimmed through the growing season, edges kept tight, yards held in shape from thaw to hard frost. Once white weather comes across those open acres, the plow goes out for driveways and the approaches that drift first. Rural properties out here have long drives, and long drives are the whole test of a winter. Cutting them open clean, all the way to the road, is what the season asks for.
