First light along the Quickway, and the fields between Bridgeville and Monticello are still holding fog in the low spots. MT Lawn Service starts the day out in it — mowing, trimming, edging, and leaf and debris cleanup on properties across the town of Thompson. Getting an early jump matters in July, when Sullivan County afternoons turn heavy and the grass goes damp again by evening. Coming back down a road you cut that morning, seeing the yards squared off one after another, is the plain pleasure of the work. Monticello, Bridgeville, Harris and Rock Hill fall within the usual range.
