Short Mountain holds its flat shoulder above the River Valley, and the light comes over it early. Blue Collar Lawn Care starts about then. Pastures, hayfield edges, yards carved out of the oak and hickory — the ground changes every few miles out here, and the mowing changes with it. Cut, trim the fence lines, edge whatever has concrete to edge, clear the drive, go. By the time the valley heat settles in, a string of places along the county road all look like somebody meant them to.
