About Ivor Stevens Grounds Maintenance

Before light on a January morning, the Saxtons River runs dark between shelves of ice at the bottom of Grafton's hills, and the snow on the back roads lies unbroken. Ivor Stevens Grounds Maintenance goes to work in that blue hour, plowing driveways and clearing snow so Grafton households can get out the door. The roads here climb hard away from the river, past the little covered bridge on Kidder Hill, and a drive on a Grafton slope needs clearing right down to something a tire can grip. By the time the sun clears the ridge, the evidence is plain: tidy banks, a dark ribbon of open driveway, and the whole white hillside still asleep around it.
