Old Town Township took its name from the edge of the timber, and that line of trees still marks the difference here: open black ground on one side, shade and windbreak on the other. A La Orden Landscaping mows the yards and farmstead lawns spread along those roads east of Bloomington, where a lot can run from deep shade to full sun in fifty feet. Spring starts with the clearing — winter's fallen limbs pulled out of the grass, beds opened up, the matted stuff along the windbreak raked loose so the turf can breathe. Then the mowing settles into its weekly place, with trimming close around posts and foundations and an edge cut where lawn meets gravel. By the time the corn is tall, the yards out this way look like small kept clearings in a very large field.
