Unlike Cinderella on Sunday #1

I couldn't get my magic slippers off.  CollageMama's Anti-Blue Bag Rustic Park Creek Clean-up effort did a beta run, and I quickly found places in the creek deeper than the loaner boots from Ms. Janie.  What I learned:

• It's lots easier to collect garbage from the creek than it is to get size 9 boots off my fat, soggy feet.
• I need a better collection and retrieval system.
• Hauling bags of trash up the creek banks and to the dumpster is exhausting.
• Birds are excited about my efforts, and sing wildly ahead of my efforts.
• Dogs are aggitated, vocal, loud and persistant in their opposition to the same.
• Whether the most important aspect is size or technique, it's really hard to pull those boots off.  Thought I might have to call 911!
