Green comes late to Gorham. The Androscoggin runs cold well into May, the Presidentials hold their snow above town like a set of white shoulders, and the grass waits until it is genuinely ready. Blueberry Hill Property Services mows that short, bright northern season for everything it is worth, cutting and string trimming, edging the walks, and hauling off the winter's litter of road sand and broken branch. On a clear morning with Madison standing over the valley, a freshly cut yard on a Gorham side street looks like proof that summer really did arrive. Leaf work closes it out in the fall, before the wind off the notch strips the maples in a single afternoon.
