Midsummer in Lexington Township, and the grass has gone shaggy again the way it always does about six days after the last cut. The remedy is unglamorous and exact: mow it back to an even height, run the trimmer around the mailbox and the porch steps and the tree rings, then edge the walk until the concrete shows a clean margin. A yard right after that treatment has a particular look — settled, deliberate, ready to be sat in. Out here between the orchards and the lake, evenings are made for the porch, and the view from it ought to be squared away. So: time for a trim, on the calendar, all season long.
