Late-summer storms come up over the Ogeechee bottomlands in a hurry, drop an inch, and leave Jefferson County steaming. M&P Landscaping works the days right after, when the grass in and around Wrens has shot up overnight and every yard needs bringing back down. Mowing first, then trimming the fence lines and the base of the pines, then edging until a drive has a clean shoulder again. By dusk the clippings are cleared, the mower is loaded, and the whole lot looks settled in a way it didn't that morning. Out toward Louisville, Stapleton and Matthews it runs the same — keep after it, and a place never gets away from you.
