By October the hills above Broadalbin have gone gold and rust, and the leaves begin finding their way into every yard in the village. Randy's Lawn & Home Service meets that season with cleanup work — raking, clearing, carting off what the wind piles into the corners — and keeps mowing as long as the grass asks for it. The warmer months are the steady part: cutting, trimming, edging, and the general yard upkeep that keeps a property looking tended. Spring brings its own clearing, once the frost lets the ground go and the turf comes back. When the last load leaves and the lawn shows bare and even under empty trees, the year has been closed out properly.
