About Bayou Blades 337

Fog comes off the Calcasieu River early and sits over Westlake until the sun burns through it, and on those mornings the first yard of the day gets cut in something close to silence. Bayou Blades 337 starts there and works outward through the neighborhoods on the west bank, mowing, edging, trimming the fence lines and clearing the walks. Grass on this side of the water grows thick with all the humidity the river hands it, so a week between visits is about all a lawn will tolerate. The blades stay sharp because a clean cut looks like one and a dull one always tells on you. By the time the haze lifts, there is a row of yards behind the truck with edges you could sight down.
