Rosiclare hangs on the bank of the Ohio, where the hills come down to the water and barges push past below the bluffs. Summer here is green to the point of insistence — everything grows, and it grows fast in the river damp. Robinson Tire Battery-Exhaust, a shop in town, keeps yards in hand through it: mowing, trimming along fences and foundations, edging walks and drives, and hauling off the season's cuttings and leaf litter. Between the hollows and the flat ground near the water, no two lots mow the same way, and knowing that difference is most of the job. A trimmed yard in this valley reads clean from the road below, tidy against all that Shawnee timber.
