In fall the Salmon River fills with anglers and the road down to Selkirk Shores stays busy until dark, and Watsons lawn care contractors is out ahead of all of it, cutting lawns one last time before the ground gives up its warmth. Then the weather turns and the work turns with it: plowing driveways and opening paths through snow that gets measured in feet rather than inches. By May they're back with mowers, trimmers and rakes, lifting what a long winter pressed flat. There's a particular pleasure in the first cut of the year here — the yard matted and rough going in, striped and standing when the truck pulls out. Lakeside seasons run extreme in both directions; the answer is to show up for each one.
