Corn comes right up to the edge of Petersburg, so summer in this village is measured in green — the fields, the ditch banks, the front yards along the numbered streets. David's Lawn Care keeps the last of those in order: mowing on a steady week, trimming tight to fences, porch posts and mailboxes, edging the walks until the line reads straight from the curb. After a warm rain a yard can get away from you in a matter of days, and the only honest answer is coming back, again and again, until frost calls it off. Evening is the best hour to see the result, when the light goes low and gold and every cut blade shows. Small town, many lawns, one at a time.
