September along the river bend cools the mornings and turns the cottonwoods loose a few leaves at a time. JR's Lawn Snow & Tree Service spends that stretch on lawn care in Kawkawlin Township — mowing, trimming and edging while the turf makes its slow, late, deep-green push toward frost. Autumn cuts are the ones that show best: cool nights, heavy grass, and lines that hold their shape for a week. Pulling off a township road at dusk with the last yard finished and the light going amber over the fields is a decent way to close a day. The work is simple, and it leaves something behind you can see from the road.
