At first light the mist stands over the bayou and drifts up into the yards along it, and everything is wet enough to hold a footprint. Reeds lawn care starts the day in that hour, letting the dew burn off before the first pass, then working through the mowing, trimming and edging one property at a time. Southeast Arkansas summers are generous to grass, and there is always more of it than there was last week. Autumn turns the work to raking and blowing, hauling leaves off before they mat down and smother the yard. There is a good feeling in leaving a place tidier than you found it, week after week.
