Down at Purling the Shingle Kill drops over its ledge and keeps talking all spring, loud with snowmelt off the high ground. Shortcut Lawn Care opens its season to that sound — first mowings once the ground firms up, trimming back what the winter tangled, edging walks that vanished under five months of weather. April in Greene County is mud and promise in about equal measure, and a cleanup is what turns one into the other. From there it's steady cutting straight through to the leaf drop. Green lawn, sharp border, water running behind it.
