Fog lies on the Little Red River most mornings around Pangburn, drifting up over the yards before the sun gets around to burning it off. Holloway Lawncare is usually rolling by then — cutting, trimming and edging, then clearing clippings off porches and driveways. River-valley grass drinks well and grows hard, which makes the gap between a mowed yard and a finished one worth chasing. Straight passes, tight corners, nothing left scattered: that is the entire job, done again next week. It suits a quiet town sitting on cold water.
