Bombs Away! - Palm Springs

About Bombs Away! - Palm Springs

Wind comes down the San Gorgonio Pass most afternoons and does not ask permission — it moves grit across Highway 111, bends the date palms, and leaves clippings anywhere it likes. Bombs Away! - Palm Springs works with that rather than against it: mow, edge, trim, then clear the walks and drives and be gone before the next gust rearranges the block. Lawns from Palm Springs down through Palm Desert get the same weekly attention, with feeding and weed control on a schedule and a look at the sprinklers while the heads are up. There is a plain pleasure in standing back at a swept driveway and a lawn cut in even passes. The wind will be back tomorrow; the work still shows.
