East of Windsor the land quits pretending and simply goes — sunflower rows, beet ground, a grain elevator standing up out of the flat, and a sky doing whatever it likes. Great Plains Home Services works the near edge of all that space: cutting grass, trimming and edging through the warm months, then plowing out drives and opening walks through the cold ones. Wind is the constant here and the season is the variable, and both get factored into when a truck rolls. A tidy yard held against that much open country reads like a small, deliberate act. So does a driveway opened before sunup in February.
