West Texas wind writes on everything in Monahans; sand off the dunes finds the drive, the walk and the porch step. Broom Services cuts and clears against it — mowing, trimming the edges, and sweeping hard surfaces back to bare concrete so a place looks squared away again. Out in Ward County green is something you earn, and a kept lawn against all that open country reads like a small act of stubbornness. Late light on the sandhills turns the horizon copper, and a finished yard sits well underneath it. Then the wind picks up again, and so does the next round.
