September light in Ottawa County goes gold across the orchard country, and the lawns underneath finally slow down enough to look their best. Second Generation Landscaping takes advantage of it around Crockery — mowing at a fall height, trimming the fence lines back, clearing leaves before they mat down over the grass. Earlier in the year those same yards get the weekly cut and a tight line along the walk. It is straightforward outdoor work, done in order, and it shows from the road. Nunica, Ravenna and the country in between keep anybody honest about the weather.
