The growing season in Paradise is short and generous — the frost lets go late, and then the light hangs on until nearly ten at night and everything green tries to do a whole summer at once. May Lawn Care LLC works those long evenings on the sand-and-blueberry ground east of M-123, mowing, trimming, and edging while the cool comes up out of the low spots. A cut lawn up here is a small human margin against a very large woods, and holding that line week to week is the whole of the job. In September the leaves come off fast and cold, and clearing them down to bare turf is the last good chore of the year. Paradise, Hulbert, and the camps out toward Eckerman all get the same pass.
