The road out of Bath climbs hard into Wheeler, and at the top of it you are in Steuben County hill country — hayfields tipped against the slope, woodlots tucked in the folds, Five Mile Creek running the valley below. Wheeler's Lawn Care mows the yards up here, where a lawn is often a level patch won back from a hillside. High summer means an early start, cutting once the dew has burned off but before the afternoon builds over the ridge. Trimming follows the stone edges and the porch posts and the mailbox, and nothing is left in windrows across the grass. Standing back from a finished yard with all that country going on behind it is its own kind of pay.
