The crape myrtles along the Dallas streets bloom hardest in July, right when the heat convinces anyone sensible to start at daybreak. Los Patrones Lawncare LLC is out at that hour, mowing while the dew is still down, trimming around trunks and fence posts, cutting the sidewalk edge clean. By the time the day turns heavy, the yards are finished and the walks are blown clear. Grass in Paulding County grows all summer without asking anyone's permission, so the answer is a schedule kept without excuses. A cut lawn underneath those pink blooms is a small, ordinary, fine-looking thing.
