Some mornings the fog lifts off the St. Joseph River and hangs in the low streets until the sun finally clears the treeline — and the mowers go out into it anyway. Busy Work keeps lawns cut in St. Joseph and the neighborhoods that run back from the river, cutting, trimming, edging, and hauling off whatever spring and fall shed across a yard. The name is honest about the work: this is the steady, repeating business of keeping a place tidy, week after week, until the grass finally goes dormant. A lawn says something about a house before anyone knocks on the door. By the time the fog burns off, the lines are laid and the walks are swept clean.
