Question

the lawn
it was mid - july, and i was where i could normally be found during that time on any given year: behind a push mower, cutting the grass at the home of my aging neighbor. to many people, that may sound like an awful job—manual labor at the peak of the summer heat—but it didnt bother me at all. i loved watching the lawn slowly transform with every pass of the mower and being able to see the progress i was making in real time. i loved the feeling of walking around outside and the way my legs ached when i was done. as far as summer jobs went, i had a good one.
this particular lawn was a bit more challenging than most lawns since it had numerous trees, flower beds, and bird feeders that i had to mow around. the yard was split in half, with a front yard and backyard that connected through a thin strip of grass alongside the house. the main downside was that id have to do more work trimming the grass around the edges than i usually like to do. regardless, i was making pretty good time. i had already finished up the front yard, and i was about a quarter of the way through the backyard. i figured i was around halfway done once thirty minutes had come and gone.

There is no indication of a connection to Ms. Abernathy's childhood, her knowledge of geography, or a change in the narrator's work - pace and interest in finding more rocks.
