August here is a wall of heat and damp, cicadas going hard in the pines, and the grass still growing like it doesn't know any better. SOUTHERN STRONG LAWN SERVICE works right on through it in Bremen — mowing, edging, string trimming the fence lines, blowing the drives and walks clean, water jug sweating on the tailgate between yards. Nobody is fooled about what a day like that costs a person, which is exactly why a freshly cut lawn in the middle of a Georgia summer looks so good. The truck moves on down the street; the yard stands there sharp until next week.
