Pumpkins

Such artsy fartsy pumpkins at Cub Foods! Getting ready for fall and Halloween... 

Whiskey bottles and more.....

Volstead's "speakeasy" has an amazing wall of hundreds of bottles..... whiskey, vodka, rum, etc.

We sat outside on their patio listening to a live singer.  

Cloudy commute

Blue skies with puffy clouds - Highway 13 in Eagan. 

Yep, open!

 

Shorts and T-shirts will soon be replaced by sweaters and sweatshirts on "Old Navy" shelves. 

#EaganOutletMall 

Got wine?

 

The "Big Discount Liquor" store sells booze in my neighborhood. How does your local liquor store compare? 

My local post office

I was next in line at the Cliff Road post office. Can you see the writing on the counter glass.... "We love our customers." 

Art on wheels

 

This artsy fartsy van was parked next to a nearby townhouse. Molto fantastico! 

Prelude of autumn

This Maple tree surprised me on Friday afternoon! I'm not ready for autumn yet. 

Sunset on Diffley

 

The colors and lighting of an Eagan sunset....... 

Garden box update

 

These wooden boxes are bursting over with flowers, tomato plants and other vegetables! 

Any street

 

On a sunny morning walk up an ordinary street in Eagan. Blue skies, green grass. 

Alternative dining

 

Doolittle's Restaurant offers additional outdoor seating at tables set up in their parking lot. Social distancing while dining continues in Eagan. 

Car cosmetics

 

Looks like this ol' truck needs some "cover-up foundation!" Love the blue undercoat color. 

Flowers for the mail carrier

 

The way to the next mailbox was lined with beautiful flowers! Lovely! 

Sunset beauty

The sun had disappeared over the horizon.... Another wonderful sunset.

Caribou coffee

A patio welcomes coffee drinkers at this coffee shop off Pilot Knob Road. The drive-thru is always a busy option, too. 

Refurbishment

A big expansion and improvement project is happening just now in Woodhaven Park. Progress reports will follow... 

Firefighter Friday

 

Two fire trucks and two police cars showed up yesterday and luckily nobody was hurt across the street! 

Apparently, no fire..... 

Nice with dice

 

This Thunderbird beauty caught my eye on my way to work. A convertible! 

Green and white

 

Looking for a new place to enjoy your bag lunch or Starbucks coffee? Check out the Eagan City Hall!

Maybe I'll try out the tables.....

Vote!

 

August 11th is the Minnesota primary election. Several positions will be on the ballot. Vote! 

Outdoor worship

Mt Calvary Lutheran Church members and guests gathered for a worship service out on their front lawn on a sunny, Sunday morning. Members socially distanced and all seemed to be wearing masks. 

Canadian bus stop

 

They were politely waiting for the bus. But be careful where you walk on the sidewalk..... 

#CanadianGeese

Just Jensen's

This local favorite restaurant looked lovely in the morning along my usual walking course. 

Enjoy lunches and dinners at Jensen's! 

Blooms and butterflies

Her balcony and glass doors are a delight to see! Those purples! 

Farmers' flowers

 

Love me some fresh flowers from the farmers' market at the weekly Market Fest at the Eagan Community Center. 

A dozen?

These Canadian geese were all lined up.... ready for a kickoff?

It's getting political...

The yard signs are starting to show up on neighborhood lawns. Primary elections are August 11.  Who are the local candidates in your area?

We all scream for ice cream

Whether you want donuts, coffee or ice cream..... Dunkin' Donuts or Baskin Robbins on Cliff Road can help! 

Thunderbird

A Ford Thunderbird but I have no idea the year..... Such a beauty! 

Roadblock

It's summer time and we all try to get used to detours and delays.... This one is on north Lexington Avenue by the main post office.
