Fog pools in the hollows around Molena at first light and burns off up the ridges as the sun climbs — Pike County ground, rolling, red beneath the grass, planted over with pecan and old peach. Ascendant Home and Lawn works across both the property line and the doorstep: mowing, edging and trimming, hedge and shrub work, mulch and bed cleanup, leaf removal, and the general home-and-yard upkeep a place quietly accumulates. Small-town properties put a lot on one crew's shoulders, and showing up for all of it is its own kind of pride. The nearby towns sit close enough that a day's route can take them in and still be home before the light goes.
