Out in the precinct the roads run on the section lines, gravel and straight, past hayfields and machine sheds and the odd stand of walnut. Chris' Mowing & More keeps the yards along them cut: mowing, trimming around posts and mailboxes, edging wherever there is concrete to edge against. October is a favorite stretch, cool air and low sun, cleanups carrying off the season's leaves before the wind scatters them badly. A country yard runs bigger than a town yard and asks for a plan rather than one long pass. Done right, it sits inside all that open ground looking deliberate.
