Up on the Waitsfield Common the hill farms catch the last light, and the fields hold their color an hour longer than the valley floor does. Mountain Girl Landscaping mows and trims across that high ground — weekly cuts, edging along walks and drives, spring cleanups, and the long fall haul of leaves. Mowing a hillside lawn under Scrag Mountain is honest work: the ground tilts, the views open, and the finished stripes follow the land instead of arguing with it. Grass up here starts late and then runs hard into October. Leaving a place tidier than the mountain behind it will ever be is a fine way to end a day.
