First light near Wallum Lake arrives with mist off the water and dew heavy enough to soak a boot through. Vinny's Lawn Care waits that out, then runs the mowers across Burrillville yards while the morning is still cool and the deer have gone back into the George Washington woods. The cut is the easy half; it is the trimming around posts, fence rails and well caps that eats the clock and that people actually notice. Twice a year the cleanups come — the spring pass that opens the turf back up, the autumn pass that lifts leaves before they mat down under snow. Out where the trees crowd close, a level green lawn is something a household keeps on purpose.
