The Satilla runs tea-dark and quiet south of Waynesville, and mornings along it come up soft, more haze than sun until nine o'clock. C&C lawn care makes its rounds in that early stretch, mowing while the Brantley County air is still cool enough to work in. Centipede and bahia in sandy ground want a patient hand — cut, edge the walk, trim the fence line, blow the drive clean. The reward is small and plain: a yard that looks settled under the pines, the kind of neat that suits a river town. The growing season here is long, so the rhythm hardly ever breaks.
