The weekend’s almost over. I think I lucked out that it wasn’t a beach weekend, because Jeff was kind enough to dig up the overgrown boxwoods and plant the new but small golden Cripps cypress shrubs (the green and yellow ones on either side of the steps, not the skeletal spruces in the urns) that …
