Prairie country runs flat and wide around Sturgis, the horizon broken only by a silo or a windbreak, while the St. Joseph River slides along cool beneath its banks. Arn's Lawn Maintenance mows that open ground — township lots, lake places out toward Klinger, deep farm yards that take a good while to get around. June mornings here smell like cut grass and river damp at the same time. Trimming and edging finish what the mower starts, and cleanups bracket the whole green stretch of the year. There is real satisfaction in a big yard closed out clean, the last pass laid down straight to the drive.
