By eleven o'clock on a July morning the air in Winder feels like a wet towel, so the work begins at seven. K&L lawn care LLC gets the routes around Carl and Auburn and the streets at the edge of town cut early — mowed, trimmed, edged, blown clean — while there is still some cool left in the shade. Heat like this pushes grass faster than anybody's weekend can keep up with, which is most of why the phone rings in the first place. There is a plain reward in pulling away from a finished yard at eight in the morning, before the homeowner has even poured coffee. The rest of the day belongs to somebody else's Saturday.
