Summer afternoons here belong to the thunderheads that stack over the south metro around three o'clock, so the day's mowing gets done well ahead of them. Hodo's Lawncare runs Jonesboro routes early — grass cut, string trimmer around the fence posts, edges run, everything blown off before the first rumble. Rain makes grass grow, which means next week starts sooner, and that suits the schedule fine. A clean-cut lawn glowing in the light that comes right after a storm is about as good as this work gets. Jonesboro first, then out through Riverdale, Rex and Stockbridge.
