Fog sits on the Cowaselon flats most October mornings, low and slow to leave. Scholars Landscape starts in it. Mowing while the season lasts, trimming and edging, spring and fall cleanups that strip a property back to bare tidy ground before the frost sets in. Lincoln is farming country at heart, and the lawns here sit against fields and hedgerows that will do their best to creep in — holding that line is the whole job. When the leaves are gathered and the last cut is down, a yard out toward Clockville looks ready for whatever the winter intends.
