Mount Major shows its bare granite forehead over Alton Bay, and the yards beneath it keep two calendars at once. Through the green months Cedar Mountain Landscaping runs the mower lines straight as dock boards and cuts the edges square where turf meets gravel. In winter those same driveways disappear under a night's worth of weather, and the plow goes out early to hand them back before the coffee has finished. There is a plain pride in that turnaround — banks shaved square, walkways down to bare pavement, nothing left for anyone to guess at. Lawn care and snow clearing are really one long conversation with the same hillside.
