October in Sanbornville turns the old rail corridor gold, and every lawn in the village takes on a week's worth of leaves in a single afternoon. Woodman's Forge & Fireplace works through them — raking, blowing, hauling, then putting the mower over the last of it so the grass goes into the cold short and clean. Earlier in the year those same yards get the regular cut, the trimming along fences, the edges kept honest against the sidewalk. Wakefield's fall is brief and emphatic, and a yard cleaned at the right moment stays that way. Winter can come down on a bare lawn or a buried one, and this is the work that decides which.
