Out here you can watch a rainstorm coming from twenty miles off — a gray wall sliding in over the fields west of Taylorville, taking its own sweet time about it. Sisti's Home and Lawn Maintenance LLC works in the space between those storms, because late-May grass takes everything the sky offers and asks for more. That means mowing whenever the lawn calls for it, trimming around trees, posts and foundations, cutting the sidewalk and driveway lines, and blowing the clippings off the concrete before leaving. Cleanups in spring and fall handle what the wind drops in between. It's a small, repeating kindness done to a house — and it happens to be the first thing anybody sees.
