Wellton wakes early, because in the Gila River valley the good hours are the ones before the sun clears the Mohawk Mountains. Family Liquidator keeps lawns inside that window, mowing while the irrigation laterals still run cold and the alfalfa across the road is holding its dew. Out here a green yard is somebody's standing argument against a lot of creosote and caliche, and the payoff is an edge crisp enough to read from the road. String trimming around block walls and citrus trunks, a straight run down the drive, and every clipping hauled off so nothing bakes into a mat by noon. By the time the day turns white and still, the work is finished and the yard looks like it is loved.
