Summer in Sault Ste. Marie is brief and it is generous — June light holding past ten, the grass turning green all in one week, Sugar Island lying low and dark across the water. Aurora Property Care spends it mowing, trimming and edging, feeding thin northern soil, keeping the weeds out of the beds and both ends of the season tidied up. Every week counts when the growing months can be counted on one hand, so a skipped cut announces itself. The pleasure is in the contrast: a deep, even lawn set against all that water and pine. Color hangs on into September up here, a little longer than anyone expects, and there is usually one more good cut left in it.
