About Litterine landscaping

Six in the morning on the Westmont hill, and the maples along Luzerne Street still hold the night's damp; every blade in the yard is silver before it turns green. Litterine landscaping starts early, because grass cuts cleanest while the air is cool and the sun has not yet come over the ridge. Mowing, trimming, edging — plain work, done in order, with the line along the sidewalk drawn as straight as a chalk mark. By mid-morning the whole hill smells like cut grass all the way down to the corner. It is a small gift to give a street, and it gets given here every week of the growing season.
