Hold up your hand and Oceola Township sits low on the palm, inland, where southern Michigan starts folding itself into hills. Mitten Mow Co keeps lawns here mowed, trimmed and edged from the muddy start of spring straight through leaf drop, when the maples along the older roads let go all at once and the cleanup work begins in earnest. October is honest labor — hauling off what the wind piled against the porch, giving turf air and light for its last few weeks. Then the yard goes brown and quiet and waits out the cold. Getting it there tidy is the whole point of the season's final visits.
