Small planes still come and go over Poplar Grove, and on a clear September morning you can hear one climbing away long after it has gone out of sight. Under that sky RC Lawns keeps the mowers running through the last strong weeks of growth, cutting, trimming and edging yards around the village. Fall grass grows slower but greener, and a lawn cut in that cool air holds its shape for days. There is a particular kind of pride in an autumn yard — even lines and a tidy border, the turf cleared off before the next wind brings more down. The work is unhurried, and it is meant to look that way.
