Out where US-10 runs straight past the hayfields east of Evart, summer arrives all at once — heat standing over the county, grass climbing an inch between visits. North Ferris Lawn Care LLC keeps up with it, mowing yards on a steady turn from the first warm week to the last, trimming the corners a mower cannot reach and clearing the beds of whatever the wind brought in. The fairgrounds fill and empty, the dulcimers come and go, and through all of it the routine holds: cut, edge, blow the walks, move on. A yard in the evening after the work is done has a striped calm to it, the kind you notice from the porch without quite knowing why. When the leaves drop, the same trucks come back for the cleanup that puts a lawn to bed.
