Out past Bridgeport the pumpjacks keep nodding in the bean fields long after the workday ends, and a July evening in Lawrence County stretches gold and unhurried almost to nine o'clock. Lawns and more works right up into that light — mowing, trimming the fence rows and mailbox posts, blowing the drives clear so a finished yard reads finished all the way out to the road. Flat southern Illinois ground shows off a good cut, because there is nowhere for a crooked line to hide. Getting the stripes to run true across a wide front yard is a small craft with an immediate payoff. Lawn care for Bridgeport and the towns toward the Wabash.
