A thousand-footer slides past the seawall on Portage Avenue and for two full minutes it is the only thing anybody on the block is looking at. Butler's Lawn Care Services keeps mowing. From June into September the growing season here is short and greedy — grass comes on fast after breakup and quits early — so the weeks that matter really matter. Mowing, string trimming, edging, and the cleanups that bracket either end of the season: that is the work, done on a schedule the grass sets. A yard cut on Tuesday in the Sault still looks cut on Sunday, and that is the entire point.
