October along Union Valley is a slow gold undoing — leaves letting go a few at a time, the grass staying green longer than anyone expects. Pennygreen Sprinklers works both ends of that turn, finishing out the mowing, trimming and edging season and then standing ready with the plow when the first hard cold pushes down from the northwest. Winter work in this township is driveway by driveway: open the pavement, cut the walk to the door, salt whatever the sun will not reach before noon. Then April comes around and it is mowers again, the same yards, the same streets, the whole cycle closing neatly. Gloucester Township keeps time that way, and so does the work.
