The township is laid out in mile squares, and the wind crosses them with nothing at all to slow it down. Lawns here take that weather full-on, which is why a regular cut matters more than any single dramatic effort. The rotation runs through the season — mowing, trimming out the tight spots, edging where turf meets pavement — and the grass answers by staying thick and even. There is a plain kind of pleasure in the last look back at a finished yard in Leslie Township, everything squared to the lines of the land around it. Nothing showy about it, and nothing left undone.
