From the fields around Westfield the Sauratown ridges hold up the western sky, with Hanging Rock's outcrops catching the last of the light. M&M mowing services cuts, trims and edges yards through Stokes County summers, when the hayfields go gold and the lawns keep asking for another pass. Thunder builds over the mountains most June afternoons, so mornings go to the open yards and the shaded ones can wait out the rain. There is a particular pleasure in a lawn finished just before supper, cut grass sitting in the cool air that runs downhill at dusk. Small country, well kept.
