The Embarras River loops through the country below Martinsville and sends fog up over the bottoms most summer mornings, so the first mowing of the day gets done in cool grey air. Beeman and Sons, Inc gets the route started early — mowing, trimming, edging — and is usually past the worst of the heat before noon. Yards here run long and generous, shaded by old maples on the town streets and wide open where the lots back onto fields. Spring and fall bring the cleanups: winter debris out in April, leaves hauled off in November, beds tidied at both ends. The reward is simple and it never gets old — a lawn cut clean, the clippings gone, the edge along the walk drawn like a pencil line.
