Wobble like a duck

Every Fall, Mill's Pond get some visitors from up North. Mia's always excited about going to the duck pond to see the regulars, who like to get fed, and the snow birds who stay in the middle of the pond. Wild. Wild ducks. Mia showed me how to 'wobble' like a duck, then asked me to join her. So I did.

While, feeding the ducks some stale popcorn, a pair of rather aggressive geese came over and tried to peck at Mia's feet. She said 'NO! Those are MY feet you can't EAT them!' Quickly back on her feet, she went off in search of more peaceful territory where we ended up finding a friendly squirrel who was more appreciative and less demanding of our treats.

She ran and ran and ran...until, she fell. Fell HARD. Then she ran and ran and ran some more!
