By late September the shore traffic thins out of Middle Township and Cape May Court House gets its own streets back — county seat, low storefronts, sidewalks settled into their own angles. Easley Done Lawn & Paving Services keeps the yards along Route 9 in order through that turn of the calendar: the last cuts taken a little lower, leaves pulled off the grass and out of the beds, edges recut where a long summer softened them. Autumn on this peninsula runs mild and late, so the mowing does not stop when the visitors do. A yard raked out and trimmed in October holds its shape all the way to the holidays, and that is the whole reason to do it properly. The reward is plain enough — stepping out on a cool morning to a lawn that looks deliberate.
