The Canisteo River runs the length of Addison's valley floor, and the hills on either side hold the morning fog until the sun climbs high enough to burn it off. Countryside Property Maintenance starts under that fog most summer mornings — mowing the river flats, trimming around fence lines and foundations, hauling off the season's clippings and leaves when fall strips the ridges to bare gray. Winter in the Southern Tier arrives sideways, and the same trucks come back with plows to open the hillside drives where the grade is steep and the wind loads the drifts. Salted walks, a clear apron at the garage door, room to turn a vehicle around. Steady upkeep, all the way around a property, in a valley town that rewards it.
