Autumn moves slow through Worthville. The oaks along the old rail line let go a few leaves at a time, and the town takes on that dry, sweet smell a Georgia fall carries. K&C Mowing Service LLC keeps the mowing going right through it — shorter grass, longer leaf work, blowers running until a yard is bare and even again. Between Jackson and Jenkinsburg the lots run wide and open, and a place that's been kept up shows plain from the road. That's the whole point of it: nothing dramatic, just a yard that looks tended, week after week, on into the cool.
