At Chauncey Creek the traps are stacked in tiers and the water goes copper about an hour before supper. Norton Landscaping keeps the yards above Pepperrell Cove through that late light — mowing, trimming, edges kept true where lawn gives way to rugosa and ledge. When the cove starts to smoke in the cold, the trucks go to plowing, opening driveways and walkways along point roads the wind loves to drift shut. It is a working shoreline, and the work matches it: unfussy and on time. The compliment worth having is a homeowner who never has to think about it.
