Three rivers come together at Painted Post — the Cohocton, the Tioga, the Chemung — and the valley they cut is wide, green, and slow to warm in the morning. Burlingames Lawn Care works both the river flats and the yards that climb the hills above them, mowing lines that follow the land rather than fight it. There is a plain satisfaction in the last pass of a June morning: the grass laid over all one way, the edge along the walk cut sharp enough to read. Trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups keep a place looking looked-after from the road, which is the only view most people ever get of it. Painted Post, Corning, Erwin and Gang Mills are the ground it covers.
