Well yes, I remember they all had to get out and fix the dykes. Once in a while they broke. I don't remember that dyke breaking anytime down there. They just built it up most times.
I think he (her father George Symes) mostly made hay up there on the big marsh. I used to go out there then when he made hay. A few times I went there. Most of the time they just kept it for the livestock.
