Lakemuir house. -Maria

I remember the big sunflowers, the ducks, the chickens, and the dogs that I was afraid of at the Lakemuir house. Dad really did a lot to that backyard. There was a chicken coop and I remember the rooster flying on top of the fence. We were probably the crazy neighbors, but I don't remember anyone saying anything. I just know that the rooster couldn't stay because it was too loud. I think Martin and Joe used to spray the ducks with a hose. I remember getting paid 10 cents to do the dishes back then. I think I did a lot of chores and made a list. I remember Dad, Martin, and Joe sitting and watching TV while I picked up little pieces of garbage off of the carpet. What did the boys have to do?
