Yards on the edge of Brush do not end so much as fade — lawn, then the windbreak, then a section of somebody's field running out to the horizon. Farmhouse Junkin Services LLC mows right up to that boundary and makes it a line, with trimming along the shelterbelt trees and around every post and hydrant. The weekly routine is mowing, string trimming, edging the drive, and clearing the clippings before the wind decides where they go. Fall cleanups pull out the leaves and the tumbleweeds that stack against the north side of everything. On a still evening, with the grain elevator throwing a long shadow, a mown yard out here looks like a small, deliberate act of order.
