Summer evenings west of Shreveport hold their light a long while; the cicadas wind up in the pines and the heat finally loosens its grip somewhere around eight. Hernandez Lawn Maintenance uses that hour — a last mow, the trimmer walked along the fence, the blower clearing the drive while the sky over toward the Texas line turns orange. Regular upkeep is what keeps a Greenwood yard from quietly becoming a field: cut on schedule, edges kept, overgrowth pushed back off the walk. There is a quiet reward in the sound of a machine shutting down over a lawn that is finished. Then the crickets take the yard back for the night.
