By the middle of July the fields around Attica are shoulder-high and the afternoons hum. Owen Lawn Care is out in the heat of it, mowing, trimming and edging yards that run from the porch steps down to a line of oaks and back around the barn. A lawn cut on schedule holds its color and its shape, and the difference shows all the way from the mailbox. When the year swings cold, the same attention goes to plowing drives and opening walks so the first trip out is an easy one. Attica is a place where the work is visible to everybody, which is a fine reason to take care with it.
