June in McMillan Township is all light — the sun barely gets behind the jack pine, and the country out toward Tahquamenon goes green and loud and beautiful for a few fast months. McMillan's Lawn Care and Landscaping works that window, mowing, edging and trimming yards carved out of Luce County woods and swamp edge. Up here the season opens when the frost finally lets go and closes when the maples turn, so the schedule stays tight and the weeks fill quickly. Spring cleanup pulls out the sand, needles and broken branches a north-country winter leaves; fall cleanup clears the leaves ahead of the first lasting snow. A mown yard with the pines standing dark behind it is the whole picture up here.
