Spring on the west side of Columbus announces itself in yellow — pine pollen on every windshield — and then in white, dogwoods opening along the shaded streets. Good Nature Organic Lawn Care works that stretch of the calendar out, mowing on a rhythm, edging the beds and walks, trimming close around mailboxes and downspouts, then clearing the clippings so the grass gets its air back. After one of those short violent afternoon storms the whole neighborhood smells green, and a yard cut that same evening smells greener still. There is a plain pleasure in handing back a lawn that looks cared for rather than merely shortened. The mockingbirds have opinions about all of it, and they share them.
