Evening in Kermit arrives with the wind dropping and the sky going orange all the way west to the New Mexico line. Family Services Funeral Parlor keeps its grounds mowed and tended through that quiet hour and every other one — regular mowing, edging along the walks, trimming around walks, borders and posts, and clearing the clippings so nothing is left scattered. Grass in Winkler County takes effort to hold, and holding it here is part of how care is shown. Ground that is cut level, edged clean and free of blown debris says something without needing to say anything. That attention extends across Kermit and the surrounding Winkler County community.
