Springfield summers announce themselves in the west, thunderheads climbing over the grassland by two in the afternoon, white on top and blue-black underneath. You learn to read them and get the mowing finished. Dog Biz LLC keeps yards around town on a steady cycle — mowing, edging, trimming around fences and posts, and hauling the clippings clear. A storm out here can drop an inch of rain in twenty minutes and then hand the grass a week of growing weather, so the schedule bends and the work keeps up with it. Cut grass, a warm evening, rain somewhere in the air: hard to beat.
