From the high ground in North East Township, Lake Erie is a flat blue line beyond the vine rows, and the light coming off it lasts deep into a summer evening. Donaldson Lawnworx LLC finishes routes in that light — the last mow of the day, the trimmer along the fence, the edge cut where lawn meets the gravel turnaround. Wind comes over the ridge steadily enough that the clippings scatter themselves, and the mowing pattern shows for days afterward. Yards up here are big and the horizon is bigger. Not a bad place to spend a working day.
