Inland from the Oscoda shoreline the jack pine takes over and the light soil of the Huron National Forest runs right up against people's back lots. Lawn and order of Lupton mows, trims and edges through that country and clears the yard out in spring and again once the leaves and needles have come down. Grass grown on sand wants a cut that leaves it some height, and a firm border is what separates a kept yard from the woods behind it. There is something quietly satisfying about a straight line where lawn meets pine duff — proof that a person drew it there on purpose. Property by property, that line gets redrawn every week the grass is growing.
