Marcellus wakes early: the grain elevator throws its shadow across Main Street, and the village blocks between the school and the ballfield are still silver with dew. Marcellus Lawn Care works those blocks, mowing and trimming and edging the Cass County yards where sidewalk, lawn and porch step all meet in a line. Summer here is corn-country humid, and a lawn can go from neat to shaggy in four days, so the route keeps coming back around. Spring cleanup pulls the winter grit out of the beds, and fall cleanup takes the leaves off the grass before the first hard frost sets. The reward is simple and visible — a village street where every edge along the walk is crisp by lunchtime.
