Scipio rides the long farmland ridge between Owasco and Cayuga, where morning mist lies in the low fields until the sun burns it back into the sky. Mikes Lawn Care Service LLC mows and maintains yards across that open country — weekly cuts, trimming along foundations and fence posts, edging where lawn meets gravel, and cleanups at both ends of the growing season. Dew sits late up here, so the first cut of the day often waits for the grass to dry, and then the day runs long and bright. There is a plain pleasure in how the finished work looks: a green rectangle set against corn and hay, tidy right out to the road. Finger Lakes summers are short, and worth working hard through.
