Every March the loblollies let go and Rincon turns yellow — hoods, mailboxes, porch rails, the whole town dusted in pine pollen until the first hard rain carries it off. That is when the mowers start in earnest, and Curry Lawn Services opens the year with the first cut, the first true edge along the driveway, and the spring cleanup that pulls winter's pine straw out of the beds. Mowing, edging, string trimming, hauling the debris away: a short list, run on a rhythm the grass itself sets. By April the centipede has come all the way back green, and a fresh cut smells like the entire season ahead of it. Springfield, Guyton, Marlow and Pineora are all inside a day's driving.
