A lawn cut in clean parallel passes, the trimmer run tight along the walk until the edge stands up sharp — that small, whole satisfaction is what AR Selleck leaves behind on a Middlebury yard. The work is lawn care: mowing and trimming through the growing months, edging around drives and walkways, and raking the season's litter off the grass in spring and again once the maples let go. Middlebury is a town of marble sills and falling water, the Green Mountains shouldering up to the east and the Champlain Valley farmland running open and flat to the west, and a well-kept lawn here reads like one more line in that order. The route runs from the village streets out along the back roads toward Weybridge, Cornwall, New Haven, Salisbury, and East Middlebury. The reward is plain and physical: grass an even height, a straight edge, a yard that holds its shape until the next pass.
