Morning arrives off Shelburne Bay before it reaches anywhere else in town — a pale sheet of water past the point, the Adirondacks still blue on the far shore. AC Professional Pruning starts the mowing there, in grass heavy with dew, and works inland as the day warms. Edges are cut clean where turf meets walk and drive, trimmer work follows the fence lines and the base of every maple, and the clippings leave with the truck. Spring and fall cleanups lift the winter's sand and the season's leaves off a lawn until the ground looks rested again. It is plain work, and a Shelburne dooryard shows it all week long.
