Seven in the morning down in the Gun River bottomland, and the grass is still carrying the whole night's dew. Ace of Blades Lawn Care works those first cool hours in Gun Plain township, when a keen blade lifts a stripe instead of tearing one. The job is mowing, trimming and edging, and that is plenty — a yard that looks like somebody meant it. By the time heat lifts off the gravel section roads, the clippings are swept back and the line along the walk is clean enough to run a thumb down. Small work, done carefully, one township's worth of lawns at a time.
