Down near the state line the live oaks spread wide over Lake Park and the moss hangs still in the heat. Lerma's Lawn Care mows through that country nearly the year around, because south Georgia grass takes only a short rest before it starts again. The walk edges get cut, the fence undersides and oak roots get trimmed, then the drive is blown clear — the routine is the same and the difference shows. Afternoon storms roll up out of the flatwoods and leave limbs and litter that must be gathered before the next cut. In this light, a fresh-mown yard under a big oak is about as good as a yard gets.
