North of town the land flattens out toward Fitch H. Beach Airport, where the windsock tells you more about the afternoon than any forecast will. Gaedert's Lawn Care & Landscaping mows in that wide April light, when the grass has just turned the corner into green and every yard wants its first shaping of the year. Trimming and edging bring the borders back after a winter of salt and plow spray, and the beds get their outlines redrawn. It is honest work with a visible result: you leave and the property looks awake. Charlotte, Grand Ledge, Dimondale and Potterville all fall inside the day.
