By midsummer the wind out of the west crosses Whiteford township without hitting much of anything, and it carries the smell of cut grass three farms over. Spencer Lawn & Landscape adds to that all week — mowing on rotation, trimming around posts and plantings, edging walks until the concrete shows its own shape again. Spring and fall bring the cleanups, the beds cleared and the leaves gone before the rain packs them flat. Monroe County summers hand out plenty of growing and very little mercy on a hot afternoon, which makes an early start the sensible one. The lawns show it, street after street.
