By late May the fields around Lacon are planted and everything green is in a hurry, roadside ditches included. Iris family farms & landscaping meets that rush with mowing, trimming and edging, plus the cleanups that open a yard in spring and put it to bed in autumn. Country places and in-town lots get the same routine — cut it, tidy the edges, clear off what has been left behind, leave it looking settled. There is an honest pleasure in a mowed yard at the end of a long bright evening, the lines still fresh in the grass. Lacon, Sparland, Varna, Henry and the towns around them.
