At six in the morning the fog sits in the ditches along Ray Township's section roads, a low white line following every drain until the sun gets over the hedgerows and burns it off. The Valley Landcare LLC is usually rolling by then. Mowing comes first while the grass is still standing tall with dew, then trimming out the corners, posts and stumps, then cutting the edges so the turf stops short of the pavement rather than creeping over it. Hard surfaces get blown clear until nothing is left behind but the pattern in the grass. It is not complicated work, but done every week from April to the last cut it turns a property into something you notice from the road.
