June evenings stretch out long, and there is an hour before dark when light comes in sideways across a fresh-mown yard and every line shows. Working into that hour is a habit — the last laps of the day laid down while the heat lets go and the fireflies start up over the ditch bank. Mowing, trimming and edging make up the whole of the service, with a final pass to leave the drive and steps clear. Grass grows hard through the summer, so visits stay close together and the cut never has to be a rescue. A lawn kept on that rhythm pays you back at exactly this time of evening.
