So yesterday evening in the drizzle, I asked my husband and son to come along with me to pick up trash at Lake Hiawatha. I love walking to the lake from our house with the dogs in the morning, and I try to do it every morning. I started taking little videos and posting them to Instagram during the lockdown of Covid in 2020, and when I'm able to do it, I like to keep taking those little videos. The other morning, the one I took ended with my scanning the ground around me because I was so frustrated with how much garbage was lying there. Some of it was left by people and a lot of it gets washed up onto the shore. I just want to pick up as much as we can. So Duane and Max helped me clear up this little area. We timed it to 30 minutes, because I knew we could spend hours there. And I know local artist Sean Connaughty does a lot to clean up Lake Hiawatha~ I've run into him there picking it up~ all it takes is a couple minutes here and there. Pick it up if you see it! It keeps all our lakes clean~ including Lake Superior... So yesterday evening in the drizzle, I asked my husband and son to come along with me to pick up trash at Lake Hiawatha.
