An east-central Illinois thunderstorm announces itself an hour out, a bruise on the western sky above the fields, and afterward the whole township smells of wet loam and cut grass. H&H Services works Hensley yards in that washed light that follows the rain, mowing, edging and clearing whatever the wind knocked loose. Grass here comes back fast after a soaking, so the rhythm is steady rather than heroic: keep to the schedule, keep the height right, keep the beds and walks free of trimmings. A lawn given that kind of attention holds its color deep into the season. The reward is the last look back before loading the trailer, when everything on the place lines up.
