Spring reaches Weidman by way of the water — the ice goes off Coldwater Lake, the frogs start up in the marshy corners, and the grass comes on green almost overnight. Mabry Mowing LLC opens its season right there, with the first cut of the year on lawns that have been under snow since December. Isabella County rolls gently through here, farm fields giving way to lake lots and back roads that curve for no particular reason. There is something plainly good about that first pass of the year: the smell of it, the yard suddenly awake, the edges brought back to a line. Lawn mowing, trimming and edging for Weidman and the lakes around it.
