The trailer ramp comes down before the sun is fully over the pines, back when the air still has some cool in it and the streets are mostly empty. Ambition Lawn's runs a Waycross route in that early window — mowing, edging, string trimming along fences and mailbox posts, then a blower pass that puts every clipping back on the grass where it belongs. One yard leads into the next, and by the time the heat sets in, the better part of the day's work is already behind them. There is a plain satisfaction in a street where three houses in a row got cut the same morning, all of them lined up neat toward the road.
