First light over Grover finds the fields still wet and the town quiet enough to hear a screen door swing. Larry's Mowing starts there, when the dew is lifting and grass cuts cleanest, working yards around Grover and the farm country that surrounds it. Mowing, trimming, a swept walk — the list is short, and it gets done the same way every time. There is something plain and good about a lawn kept in order out where the horizon runs uninterrupted. By the time the day turns hot, the route is already well along.
