Summer evenings up here run long, the light going gold across the ridgelines while the valley below Ludville is already in shade. Turf Time works that last hour often — the heat off, the air moving, one more yard finished before dark. The job is mowing, edging and trimming, plus getting the clippings off the walks so nothing tracks inside. North Georgia grass grows hard in June and sulks in August, and knowing which is which is half of keeping a lawn even. Come dusk the yard is cut, the borders are sharp, and the whole place looks a few degrees cooler than it is.
