Philo sits on ground so flat and so open that a January wind can pick a field clean and lay it right back down across a driveway. Chris's Service Company works both halves of that year, plowing and salting when the drifts come in sideways, mowing and trimming when the same fields turn green and the growing gets fast. Winter mornings mean opening the drive and the walk before the first car leaves for Urbana; summer means a deck run every week and the concrete edged back where the grass creeps over it. Champaign County soil raises grass with the same enthusiasm it raises corn, which is a good problem to have and a weekly one. One outfit, two seasons, and the same yard looked after in both.
