The West River slides green beneath the covered bridge at West Dummerston, and the orchard hills above it turn gold before the first hard frost. Grover Services Inc works those slopes and river flats — mowing, trimming and lawn upkeep through the long light of a Windham County summer, then plowing and clearing once the valley fills in. Dummerston driveways bend and climb, and there is real satisfaction in leaving one open to bare pavement while the sky is still dark over Black Mountain. A clean edge along a dooryard here reads like punctuation on a hillside. Same roads, whichever way the year is leaning.
