Pickford is farm country in a place people expect to be nothing but woods — hayfields laid out square, barns catching the long northern light, the Munuscong drifting east toward the bay. Skinner's Garage, Inc mows in that setting, where a trimmed yard sits up against forty acres of standing hay and has to look deliberate to hold its own. The work is mowing, trimming close around posts and foundations, edging the walks, and getting the clippings off the drive before leaving. Up here the whole green season fits between late May and the first hard frost, so the weeks are worked hard and the lawns are kept short. Yards in Pickford, Rudyard, Stalwart, and out toward Barbeau are all on the route.
