The best hour in La Moille comes late in June, when the sun drops toward the Bureau County fields and the elevator throws a shadow the length of a block. Lilley Bloomerz LawnCare L.L.C. is usually finishing up about then — the last yard of the day mowed, trimmed around the posts and the propane tank, edged along the drive. Between the mowing weeks come the cleanups, spring and fall, hauling off whatever the wind brought in across three miles of open ground. Small towns notice grass; a block here can tell you who got out on Saturday and who didn't. A lawn cut straight, with the clippings blown off the walk, says somebody was here and cared how it looked.
