Out past the interchange the land opens into fields and woodlots on sandy ground that takes an inch of rain almost before it lands. Murphy Installations Inc mows across that open country from the first cut of May to the last one of October, on lawns with plenty of room to run. August turns the grass slow and pale in the dry stretches, so the timing of a pass matters as much as the pass itself. Trimming along fence lines, edging where lawn gives way to gravel, clippings pushed back off the drive. There is something plainly good about the last round of the day — engine off, the whole yard lying even behind you.
