Morning fog lifts off the Thornapple before Rutland is properly awake, and for an hour the fields toward Hastings look like they are floating. Eden Lawn Care is out in it, mowing while the ground is still cool, trimming the long grass at the base of the fence rows where the river damp keeps everything growing fast. Barry County soil gives back whatever it is given, so the cutting here is a conversation rather than a chore — a little higher through the dry weeks, tight and even when the rain has been generous. The reward is a yard that holds its shape all week and a clean line along the drive. Cleanups arrive in their turn, spring and fall, whenever the maples decide.
