August storms build off to the northwest, and you can watch one come across the flat miles toward Avon for an hour before the first drop lands. VicCar Landscaping and Handyman works the windows between them, mowing while the ground is still dry, running the trimmer down the fence lines, edging the walk before rain resets everything. Hot-weather grass grows in bursts, and a lawn is either kept ahead of it or lost to it for a week. There is something deeply satisfying about a yard finished ten minutes before the sky opens. When it clears, the grass stands up greener and the whole street smells rinsed.
