Late winter leaves the yards around Ward bare and honest: every limb down, every pile you meant to deal with, plain as day under a gray Arkansas sky. Kingdom Hauling & Handyman starts there, clearing debris and carting it off so the first mow of the year has somewhere to happen. Then the season turns and the work becomes weekly, cut and edge and trim and blow the walks clean. East of town the country opens toward the rice ground and the horizon goes on forever, which is a fine thing to have in front of a mower. A cleared yard is a small and satisfying kind of order.
