Drive NM 47 at noon in June and the valley looks bleached — hard blue overhead, cottonwoods holding the only shade for a mile. The green places along that road are green because somebody tends them. Roadrunner Industrial Works handles the mowing, the trimming and the cleanups that keep Peralta ground from going over to weeds and wind-drift. The crew works early, before the asphalt starts throwing the heat back up. What's left behind is a clear drive, a straight line at the border, and a property that reads cared for from the highway.
