Evenings in Mount Pulaski cool off slowly — brick still warm, cicadas loud in the shade trees, somebody's sprinkler ticking two houses over. brody's lawn care works right up to that hour, finishing the last yard on the route while the light goes long and soft across the grass. Mowing, edging, keeping the trim tight along porch steps and alley fences, hauling off what the mower can't swallow. Grass in this part of Logan County takes the August heat hard and wants a steady hand rather than a heavy one. Leave a yard looking like the people inside are proud of the place, and the rest takes care of itself.
