An August storm crosses Newstead in a hurry — the sky turns a strange green over the fields, twenty minutes of hard rain go by, and afterward the whole town smells like wet grass. Stonecreek Lawn Care works the day that follows, when everything has grown an inch overnight and needs a mower more than an opinion. Mowing, trimming and edging on ground that soft takes a light touch, so the lawn ends up striped instead of rutted. There is real pleasure in a yard cut smooth while the puddles are still shining in the ditches. Summer here comes at you in bursts, and the schedule bends to meet it.
