Omaha is a crossroads community with more sky than street, a few churches, and yards that everyone driving through can see. Omaha Lawn Service keeps them presentable week to week: mowing, edging along sidewalks and drives, trimming around posts, steps and fence corners, and clippings cleared away before Sunday. There is a particular stillness here on a freshly mowed morning — nothing but the smell of cut grass and wind working through the pines. Doing that job well is a small public kindness as much as a private one. Lumpkin and the county roads nearby fall on the same route.
