Some mornings the fog sits on Michigan Center Lake until the sun finds a hole in it, and that is about when the mowers roll out. Britton & Bailey's Lawn Care cuts, trims and edges lawns across Leoni Township, on ground that runs flat and green between the water and the woodlots. There is a plain kind of pride in a stripe laid straight to the property line and a walkway edged until you can see the true shape of the concrete again. Clippings blown back off the drive, borders cleaned up, the smell of fresh grass sitting over the yard all afternoon. When the leaves let go in October they come down all at once here, and hauling them away is part of the job too.
