Shoreham sits where Vermont flattens toward the lake — orchards on the rises, the Lemon Fair winding through clay bottomland, the ferry still crossing at Larrabees Point. Sunderland Tree Service works both halves of that year: mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups from the first green push to the last leaf, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the fields go white and the wind comes off Champlain with nothing to slow it. Farm country makes long driveways, and a long driveway is either open or it isn't. Between the two seasons there is mud and there is harvest, and the work simply changes tools. The pleasure is in a clean line either way — grass cut level to the fence posts in July, gravel showing dark end to end in January.
