Out past the Reinhardt campus the Waleska lots open up — half-acre yards giving way to pasture edge and hardwood ridge, ground that needs more cut than a push mower can offer. Southern Gentleman Land Management takes on that scale: mowing open acreage and house yards alike, running the trimmer down field and fence lines, edging the drive right up to the porch, hauling the seasonal mess off out of the way. October turns the ridges above town copper and finally wrings the humidity out of the air, which makes it the best working month up here. There is a plain satisfaction in standing at the top of a mowed field with the light going long. Nothing fancy about it — just ground kept in hand.
