Nothing moves in Red Lick at two in the afternoon in July except heat shimmer and one mower. Platinum Solution Services keeps a route through Miller County that runs the year around: mowing, string trimming the fence lines and the pine bases, edging the drives, clearing the clippings off the pavement. Under the oak shade the grass grows thin and wants a higher cut; out in the open sun it grows fast and wants water — the same yard asks for two different things, and knowing that is the craft. Evening brings the thunderheads up out of the southwest, and the smell of rain on hot asphalt says tomorrow's work is coming. The yards along these roads look their best the morning after.
