July storms build up west of here and cross the township in a hurry — twenty minutes of hard rain, then steam rising off the road and grass that has decided to grow two inches overnight. Ron's Mowing Service stays on top of that: mowing, string trimming, edging the walks and drives, and clearing a yard of whatever the wind left behind. A regular cut keeps a lawn thick and even instead of clumped and streaked, and it keeps the mess off the sidewalk where it belongs. Some yards want speed, some want a careful hand around the flower beds, and knowing which is which comes with the route. What stays behind is a tidy green rectangle and the smell of fresh clippings on a summer evening.
