What's the message?

Get all your ducks in a row? It might be an expression, but here on Smithtown Bay, it's a reality. I felt as if the ducks (Mystery Ducks, I call them. I can't figure out what they are.)were trying to tell me something. It makes more sense than reading a silly horoscope. There are lots of fisherman out lately and I have been trying my hand at fishing from the shore. No luck yet, but I love just being down there and doing something. It's very Zen. The photo of the orange umbrella was taken on Sunday. I tried out my friend's gift: a 2-inch thick

slice of a tree with a hole in the middle that serves as an anchor and table for cocktails! Ingenious, right?
