That’s a pretty good drawing of the chicken coop I helped my Mom build. The two geese on the right are Eddy and Sargeant Lavender (a girl goose who didn’t actually live with us anymore when I drew this–but white geese are cute, so I put her in anyway for contrast).

It should be noted that there was no local bar where I grew up. My social life might have been more interesting if their had been. Ahh, backwaters…
