There is a week in November when Keyes Memorial Park goes bare and the traffic on 101 starts driving home in the dark, and Milford quietly changes over. Roberge Property Maintenance changes with it — final mows, leaf removal, edging and cleanups put away, then plowing, steps and walks shoveled, sanding and salting on the climbs. Yards here rise away from the river, and grade decides everything once ice is in the conversation. The season turns fast; the properties themselves should never have to notice.
