Spring around Spring Point shows up in the ditches first, green rising along the township roads while the fields are still brown and waiting. That first mow of the year is the one to look forward to: deck set high, the grass thick and damp, the smell of it carrying half a mile. After that it is a steady rhythm — weekly cutting, hand work around posts and pumps and porch steps, edges kept clean where lawn meets gravel, and the leaves gathered once the wind takes the hedgerows bare. Out here a yard is the one piece of ground a person shapes entirely on purpose, and it deserves to look it. Come evening the cut lines catch the low sun and the whole place reads as cared for.
