Looking around lakes area communities, we’re seeing a lot of windows with colorful cutout hearts among many other signs of togetherness during the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate those people who have opened our eyes to many different ideas of hope during trying times, including those shown here.
We encourage readers to submit photos showing a bright side to today’s world to travis.grimler@pineandlakes.com so we can share them.
