Late May along Route 139, when the roadside lilac is going over and everything green has finally caught up with itself. Village lawn services is out in the thick of that — mowing on a weekly turn, trimming fence lines and posts, edging the walks, clearing the yard down in spring and again in fall. Somers grows fast in a wet year, and much of the work is simply a matter of not falling behind it. There's a particular pleasure in returning to a lawn you cut last week and finding it still holding its shape. Somers and the towns next door make up the week.
