July on the highway outside Limon, the heat comes up off the asphalt in waves and the mile markers swim a little. Lawn care from Winterberg Oil Co Wrecker Service runs straight through that heat: mowing on schedule, cutting the grass back where it crowds the gravel, edging where turf meets the shoulder, and blowing the walks clean afterward. Midsummer here is a test — sun overhead, no shade worth the name, and grass that only keeps its shape if the cutting keeps pace. Late in the day, once the wind lays down, a yard mowed that morning still looks mowed. Limon and the towns along the corridor: Genoa, Arriba, Flagler and Stratton.
