Huger sits where the pinewoods of the Francis Marion give way to tidal creek and marsh, and the water off the Cooper decides how the morning feels. Spring Green mows and edges through a Berkeley County growing season that begins before anybody is ready for it and hardly lets up until the year is nearly out. Under the live oaks the grass comes in thin and patient; out in the open it runs fast enough to want a weekly pass. Mowing, edging, trimming and carrying the clippings away — the yard left sharp and open beneath all that hanging moss. On a still afternoon along Quinby Creek the only sound left after the mower is the water going out.
