The Mississippi makes its long eastward bend at East Moline, and a barge working upriver is close enough to hear from the back yard. Bill's Out Door maintenance keeps the grass along it in order — mowing, trimming, edging, and carrying off the clippings and leaves that a river town produces from May to November. Humidity comes straight up off the water here, and the lawns grow like they know exactly what they're getting away with. Leaving a place at supper time that was ragged at breakfast, every border sharp and the walks swept, is the good part of the day. Lawn care and outdoor upkeep for East Moline and the towns beside it.
