Mornings out in the Lamotte country begin under fog off the Wabash bottoms, the sycamores standing pale in it and a pumpjack nodding at the corner of a bean field. Tohill's Lawn & Landscaping gets going once it lifts — mowing on a regular round, trimming around the outbuildings and the mailbox, edging where gravel gives way to grass. Crawford County ground grows heavy in a wet June and browns off by August, and the height of the cut changes right along with it. Spring and fall cleanups take care of what the timber sends down. Farm yard or town lot, mowed even and finished at the edges, it reads the same way from the road: somebody keeps this place.
