Spring in Oracle after a wet winter is a short, extravagant thing — the high grassland east of town greens all the way toward the San Pedro breaks, and everything that can grow, does. Natures Surprise Ranch LLC Goatscaping meets that surge head-on, mowing, trimming and clearing overgrowth so yards and lots come back into shape before the heat settles in. Out past the road to Biosphere 2 the properties run big and the borders run wild, which makes the difference between kept and unkept plain to see. The summer rains bring a second flush and a second round of work, and by autumn a place that gets regular attention still looks like somebody's, not the desert's. That reclaimed line between yard and open country is the whole reward.
