Does this strike you as funny?

At Chris’ house there is a small lake fed by an artesian well (a bubble of water coming out of the ground).



It has a few houses on the lake but mostly it is a walking path…part of the Appalachian Trail.




Every time I am there I try to take Sadie for a walk around the lake.

We walked up to the bubble.
This is the funny part.

We came upon a man sitting on the park bench surrounded by ducks who were begging him for food. They were not taking no for an answer and were honking and carrying on but the man seemed to be ignoring them. When we got closer I could see that he was just trying to read his newspaper in peace. No peace there.

Here is a little sidebar. I have been having hip problems for a few years now and finally went to an orthopedic doctor. After xrays and an exam he told me that I have bursitis and that physical therapy should solve the problem.  I was thrilled because I was fearing the worse…hip replacement. So off to therapy I go. He said I should do better in six weeks.  Yeah!!!
