Noon in Adel puts a shimmer on the pavement and sends anybody with sense under the live oaks. All Out Mowers & Repairs LLC keeps going anyway, because grass in a South Georgia summer does not observe the hour — it grows straight through it. Mowing, string trimming, crisp edges along walks and drives, clippings blown back off the concrete: the list is short and the doing of it is the point. By the time the shadows stretch out toward the crossroads again, the yard is quiet and squared away. Adel, Sparks and Lenox are all a short pull of the truck from one another, which keeps the route close and the schedule honest.
