In July the work starts early, because by ten o'clock the sun is well over the Quassaick and the humidity has settled in for the day along the Newburgh line. Jarocho lawn services runs those first hours — mowing while the dew is still burning off, trimming around posts and hydrants and the awkward corners no mower can reach, then blowing the walks and the driveway clean before the truck moves on. New Windsor yards range from tight village lots to long sloping properties, and each one has a best pattern hidden in it; finding that pattern is part of the pleasure. The satisfaction comes in the last look back from the curb — everything even, nothing left on the pavement. Hot week or cool one, the route comes around again.
