A Palermo field in July is a particular kind of green — cut short, smelling of hay and warm dust, holding the heat right up until the dew falls. Family & Friends Bluegrass Festival takes on lawn care around town, mowing and trimming open ground and dooryards alike, edging where lawn meets gravel, and clearing the leaves once the maples let go. There's a satisfaction to watching a rough patch turn into something you'd set a chair on. The grass here grows in bursts after rain and stalls in a dry August, so the mowing follows that rhythm rather than a calendar. Wide ground or a small yard, the finish is the same: level, even, and ready for people.
