March comes to Bowdon in a haze of yellow pine pollen, and the fescue in every front yard grows an inch while nobody is watching. ASC OUTDOOR POWER meets that first warm week head-on, mowing and trimming yards back into shape while the dew still sits silver on the clay. Edges get cut clean along the drives and walks, and the clippings get blown off the concrete so the work looks finished, because it is. From that first cut in early spring until the last one in November, the route runs steady across town and out along the two-lane roads toward the Alabama line. A mowed yard is a small, honest thing, and Bowdon is a town that notices.
