Late summer in Roxand belongs to the thunderheads that build west of Sunfield and drag their shadows across the beanfields all afternoon. Rademacher Contracting Services works in that light — mowing between the storms, trimming the ditch line and around the mailbox posts, hauling the cleanup off before the first fat drops land. Yards here run big and open, with gravel dust settled on the hostas and a shelterbelt taking the wind, and they ask for a steady hand rather than a fussy one. When the mower shuts off, the stripes run parallel to the section road and the grass smells like rain coming. That is the whole point of the day.
