Combine coffee, breakfast sandwiches, dogs, and ducks, and you have a delicious and entertaining start to the day! That's how Jim and I enjoyed our morning in Orrington on Sunday, when an impromptu picnic was accompanied by some feathered visitors!

Jim and I have a favorite place in Orrington. There's a path running alongside a stream that connects the parking lot of Bob's Cozy Corner to a rest area. And the rest area sits on the shore of Brewer Lake. It's a beautiful spot, and a great place to have a meal, while the dogs play around in the water at the boat landing. So that's what we decided to do on Sunday morning. We grabbed a couple of cups of coffee and some sandwiches, and settled at a table, while the dogs splashed in the water.

It was then that we noticed the family of ducks, sunning themselves on some rocks, right at the mouth of the stream. At first, the dogs were at the boat landing and didn't notice the ducks. But when Lola spotted them, she couldn't resist giving them a scare!

No ducks were hurt, and neither was Lola. And Pernicus sure had fun cheering her on from the sidelines!
