On an autumn morning the Mississippi throws fog up over Quincy, and by the time it lifts the combines are already working the fields east of town. Milks Lawn Care follows that same daylight, mowing, trimming and edging while the season allows, then plowing drives and clearing walks once the fields go bare and white. Snow here rides in on a wind with a thousand miles of prairie behind it and drifts wherever it likes. Opening a drive before dawn so somebody can simply get in the car and go is a quiet good thing to do. Quincy and the towns spread around it are all on the list.
