North of the forty-fifth parallel the June evenings refuse to end — it is nine-thirty in Cheboygan and the sky over the treeline is still the color of a peach. Dee Zee LawnCare uses that long light, working backyards while the swallows are out and the grass is cool enough to cut clean. Mowing, trimming and edging, done in patterns that leave the lawn striped and even from the road to the back fence. The satisfaction is in the small things: a crisp line along the walk, no scalped ridge where the ground rolls, the drive blown off so the pavement is dark and bare. A yard done right at dusk still looks done right at noon the next day.
