Rush Creek runs behind half these lots, and in April it gets loud again — which is the week Hamburg yards start asking for somebody. Chentfant begins where the season begins: cleanup, with last year's leaves pulled out of the beds and the winter grit raked off the lawn edges, mulch renewed before anything has leafed out. Then the mowing settles into its weekly cadence, the trimmer following fence lines and tree rings, the edge along the drive cut back to a clean seam. Autumn runs the film backward, leaf by leaf, until the beds are laid down for the cold. A yard that looks tended in every month somebody looks at it.
