First light in June, and the fog is still lying in the Etowah River bottoms below Emerson, thick enough to hide the far bank. That is when Robertson outdoor services rolls out. The dew soaks your boots to the ankle and the grass cuts heavy, but the air is cool and the day belongs to whoever gets to it first — mowing, trimming, edging, the whole property walked and tidied before the heat sets in. By the time the sun clears the ridge the fog has burned off, the mower's put away, and a yard that was shaggy at six is sitting there squared up and quiet. Outdoor work, done outdoors early, the way it ought to be.
