Saturday morning in Pinckneyville opens with the courthouse square still in shadow and Beaucoup Creek running low under the bridges. All Seasons Exterior Care spends those hours on the lawns around town, mowing, edging along walks and drives, and hauling off the clippings and litter a week of Perry County weather leaves behind. Ground here has been dug, worked and given back to grass and timber, and an even green yard is its own kind of reply to that history. There is a plain satisfaction in the last pass of the day, when the border at the sidewalk goes clean and the whole lot reads level from the street. Come autumn the leaves are raked and carried off before the first hard frost settles them for good.
