The first real cut of May in Eaton County comes with the smell of turned field and new hay riding in on the wind. Country Lawn & Power Repair meets that season head-on, mowing lawns that have gone thick and soft after the long thaw, then trimming and edging them back into shape. Out here a yard can be a town lot or a half-acre ringed by corn, and both get the same steady pass. There is a good moment near the end of a job when the engine drops to idle and you can hear meadowlarks again over the finished grass. Charlotte, Vermontville, Sunfield and Mulliken are all inside the day's driving.
