In midsummer Greenfield smells like warm pine and lake water, and at seven in the morning Otter Lake sits so still that the far shore doubles. Greenfield Lawn Services is out before the heat, mowing, string trimming around posts and ledge, edging the walks, and clearing the cuttings so a yard looks tended rather than merely shortened. Crotched Mountain keeps the western sky, the state park keeps the woods, and in between sit the lawns that make a small town look looked-after. Spring raking and fall leaf work bracket the mowing weeks on either end. The reward is simple and it never wears out: even lines, a crisp border, and a place that looks like somebody is home.
