After a week of spring rain the grass around Bird comes on all at once, and the first mow of the year is less a chore than a reclamation. Alisha's Lawn Care Servie takes that first pass and every one after it, mowing on a schedule, trimming around the mailbox and the porch steps, and edging the walk back to its real shape. Arkansas gives grass a long run from spring through fall, and the yards that look best are simply the ones nobody let get ahead. Come autumn the leaves replace the clippings, and the raking and blowing carry on until the ground is bare. A yard cut close and edged clean makes the whole house sit up straighter.
