The first cool front of fall comes up the Altamaha bottoms south of Lyons, and you can feel the whole county exhale. Toombs outdoor works the turn of that season — mowing while the growth slows down, running the edger along drives and curbs, trimming the corners a mower cannot reach, and clearing leaves and cuttings off the grass. Winters are short and gentle in this part of Georgia, so the tending never really stops; it just goes quiet, a lighter hand on an already even lawn. The pride lives in the small stuff: a clean curb line, a swept driveway, a yard you notice only because nothing about it is out of place. Lyons and the towns around it, from Vidalia over to Mount Vernon and on down toward Reidsville.
