About Just Mowing

There is a stretch of July in Erie when the grass simply will not quit — lake moisture in the air, daylight holding past nine, every yard between the bluff and the bayfront pushing an extra inch a week. Just Mowing keeps up with it. The name is the promise: cut it, trim the fence line, edge the walk, and leave behind a lawn that looks combed. Streets near Frontier Park, the flat blocks on the west side, the little side lots where a push mower is the only thing that fits — all of it gets the same pass. On the good afternoons the wind comes in off Presque Isle and the whole block smells like cut grass.
