Come harvest the air around Drummer fills with dust and the light turns gold an hour before supper. K&E Lawn Care LLC is out in it — mowing the last cuts of the season, trimming the fence lines, edging the drives, and gathering the leaves off the yards before the wind redistributes them across the county. Grass out here grows on soil that grows everything else, so from the first cut in spring to the final one in October it wants attention every week, and it gets it. A lawn kept all season needs no rescue at the end of one; it just gets shorter, cleaner and quieter. That's the finish worth working toward — an even yard, a clean walk, and a house looking well set on the prairie.
