Chocolate chip cookies

 

Is it more fun to make them or eat them...... Yummy in the tummy! 

Mellow yellow

 

Imagine walking through a driveway covered in leaves.....

Iowegian

 

This Iowa visitor was parked at the Hyvee grocery store. Imagine gliding down the highway in this classic Chevy Caprice convertible!

That sunset....

 

The sun was sinking in the sky behind the Cedarvale bowling alley. 

Fabulous Ford

 

This guy was happy to pose in front of his 1950 Ford classic car.  It's such a beauty! 

Pumpkin explosion

 

This huge display of various pumpkins caught my eye at Kowalski's Market. 

Art fair loot

 

My artsy loot from the two art fairs last weekend: coffee cup, flowerpot, cutting board, candle, two handmade soaps and a decorative plate.  (Jewelry for my daughter not pictured) 

Taking a corner

 

The school bus driver turned into a neighborhood to pick up more students for school. 

First day of autumn

 

From my house to yours, I'm wishing you a joyful start to a new season. 

Art at Artworks

 

About 20 artist booths offered eager art fans and handicraft shoppers an array of beautiful choices from 9 am to 4 pm on Sunday afternoon in the Artworks building parking lot. 

For me to attend two different art fairs in one weekend was incredible since all the other art fairs this summer were canceled due to Covid-19. 

Lakeville art fair

 

Potter Colleen showed her beautiful pottery at the Lakeville art fair at the Lakeville Area Arts Center in Lakeville, near to Eagan. So glad to attend a non-virtual, non-ZOOM art fair! Almost all of the art fairs were cancelled this summer - ugh! 

Saturday, 10 - 5 pm

Sunday, 10 - 5 pm 

Like sherbert

 

Such yummy fall colors! Now the leaves are really starting to change colors! 

Coming soon!

 

Nearby kids will be happy when this park and playground are ready for action at Woodhaven Park! 

A BIG check

 

Artworks in Eagan received a big check on Wednesday at the Eagan Rotary Club lunch meeting.  The club president presented the check to two representatives from Artworks. 

Artworks is a charitable organization which supports art, art education, art exhibits and offers art studio space in a building on Pilot Knob Road.

Number 70

 

Looks like a fun car to zip around town in but what kind of car is it? 

Red and ready

 

This maple tree seems to be showing off its autumn color! 

Flowers by the field

 

These flowers fantastically frame the Central Park sign. But soon the autumn days will diminish this view. 

New apartments?

 

Rumor has it that they are building a new apartment building next to the Eagan Outlet Mall.

Get wet!

 

This small water area splashes and sprays behind the Eagan Community Center and was photographed as the sun was setting. 

Detour

 

Rahn Road is closed while they completely repair and resurface it. Detour again! 

Rings of flowers

 

The rings of colorful flowers encircle a beautiful sculpture in the middle at the Eagan Community Center. 

Live music, cocktails and patio time

 

On a beautiful night on the patio of Volstead's "speakeasy" off Lone Oak Road. Even a live singer.

Barn charm

 

This ol' barn just off Highway 55 near Lone Oak Road was built by a pioneer farmer. If only walls could talk.... I doubt there are any animals inside anymore. 

Happy Labor Day!

 

Working people across our nation celebrate today's holiday as a day of rest. This flag at the Lunds / Byerly's grocery store might be the largest in Eagan.  

Heavenly architecture

 

This beautiful old church reminds me of Europe. Trinity Lone Oak Lutheran Church was built by pioneer German Lutherans who settled in the village of Eagan, now one of Minnesota's largest cities.

Sweet treat

 Can you believe these mouth watering pastries at Hyvee!! Which would you pick? 

A hint of autumn

 

The maple tree across the street from my office is showing early signs of autumn..... 

Litter lesson learned

Wednesday was my 6th morning neighborhood walk when I picked up litter.  Six mornings and six bags of litter. If only people would stop just throwing their litter!! 

Joy in a vase

 

Sending you roses from Kowalski's Market! May they brighten your day! 

Orange tables

 

Socially distanced eating and drinking spots in the parking lot of "Burgers and Bottles" off Lone Oak Road.
