Not yet....

 We arrived at Holz Farm and found nobody there. The spring festival is later in May.  Oooops! 

Before hours

 

Not a soul was shopping at 9 am as I walked through the Eagan Outlet Mall. Beautiful weather today so it will be crowded after 11 am. 

April tulips

 

Tulips to brighten your day! Happy spring! 

Snowy regards

 

Out my office balcony, I see the snow dusting the trees and ground. It's 32 degrees and overcast. 

Canadian surprise

Gary Hansen was surprised to see a Canadian goose at his back door. Probably a solicitor! 
 

Last Monday's weather

 

Sorry to dwell on last week's weather but I'm missing it..... it felt like summer! 

Volunteer firefighter

 

Jeff served the Eagan community as a firefighter for several years before he and his family moved to Colorado. 

Red car, railroad car

 

Railroad cars were parked along the track near the recycling center when I dropped off my old, dead printer. 

Bambi

 

While walking around the paths at the Eagan Community Center, I spotted this lone fawn. 

New firefighters

 

On Tuesday evening, 19 new, full-time firefighters were sworn in at one of the fire stations. And 18 of the new firefighters were funded through a Federal SAFER grant - one of the largest grants in the nation. 

Jump off the bus, Gus

 

Kids were arriving home by school bus, the sun was shining and the weather felt wonderful. 

Hanging baskets

 

It must be spring.... the grocery store is now selling beautiful flower baskets. 

Spring sprung

 

The trees are budding out and spring has arrived! The snow is gone! Today will be over 75 degrees!

Easter cookies

 

Such cute, pretty, Easter cookies await you at Hyvee bakery..... 

Got Spirit?

 

Lavin Mansukhani captured a SPIRIT airplane flying over Eagan. It almost looks like the plane will land on the Eagan technology tower...... 

Like popsicles ...

 

These colorful basketball hoops will provide fun, whimsical playing for hours when they are ready! 

April showers, bring May flowers!

 

Members of the Eagan Rotary Club's fundraiser committee smiled with their rain gear for our April theme group photo on ZOOM. RAIN or shine, our "Live to Give" fun walk fundraiser will happen on Saturday, May 15 at the Eagan Community Center by the Eagan Rotary Bandshell.

When will it be ready....

When the playground is finished.....

When the Covid-19 pandemic has greatly diminished...... 

When school vacation has almost started........ 

When the parking lot is completed....... 

When then? 

Oregonian dinner

 

Because my sister will be visiting from Eugene, Oregon.... 

High mileage

 

This beat up RV was parked in a nearby parking lot. It holds lots of miles and surely lots of stories.... 

Window on the wetlands

 

The sun was shining and blue skies greeted me on my afternoon walk. The snow and ice are off the wetlands pond. 

Hop on the bus, Gus!

 

The school bus picked up two school kids; off they go! 

#yellowmellow

Brick oven bus

 

This used to be a school bus but now they bake pizzas in their onboard brick oven. 

Momma and her babies

 

I was surprised to see her and her two fawns. They stood still while I photographed them out my car window, stopped in the road. 

Sunrise at work

 

Brad Chapdelaine captured this magnificent sunrise at his work last week. Glorious! 

#waybackWednesday

Walking on water

 

These Canadian geese were strolling around on top of Thomas Lake, honking all the way! 

Need some sugar?

 

Hyvee always offers a huge selection of donuts! Oh my goodness.... 

Jeep view

 

Driving all the way from Alaska seems like a long way to come to shop at Kowalski's Market.... 

Lucky Charms

 

A little late for St. Patrick's Day but this cereal display caught my attention at Hyvee!

Winter or spring

 

Wednesday morning felt more like January than mid-March...... but we're getting closer to spring! 

Pretty in purple

 

Andrea Kostiuk caught this gorgeous sunrise off her deck on Monday morning. Wow! 

#ThrowbackThursday

Happy St Patrick's Day!

 

Members of the Eagan Rotary Club fundraiser planning committee dressed up for a fun, team, theme photo!

#StPatricksDay

Daybreak in Cedar Grove

 

Monday morning started off with some beautiful colors. Enjoy your week! 

Walkin' the dawgs

 

She was out walking her two greyhound dogs. Wonder if they ever ran races? 

Quiet Caribou Coffee

 

We stopped in for coffee drinks. It was quite quiet...... rather unusual. 

Oh, what a Teeling!

 

If you're looking for a yummy selection of Irish Whiskies, then head over to the Eagan Arms Public House at 4250 Lexington Avenue South. Cheers! 

Puppy power!

 

A client, Marilyn, stopped by my office with her new 3 month old Portuguese Water dog named Beauregard.  

Rainy news

 

It was a rainy day in Eagan on Wednesday but that makes the snow melt! One day closer to spring! 

The view from my office at Achievement Financial. 

Kowalski's car wash

 

It was good to wash off the winter dirt and look forward to spring! 

The Open Door

 

This food-shelf, located on Cedar Grove Parkway, serves food and hope to many hungry people in Eagan and Dakota County. 

Bravo to them for their incredible mission and work! 

Happy International Women's Day

 

Whether you are feeling graceful or not, we admire, respect and celebrate you women today! This one is from my photo archives. Spring is coming...... 

#InternationalWomensDay

an orange sunset

 

with just seconds to spare, i photographed the sunset just before the sun dipped below the horizon 

Upcoming holiday fun

 

St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching so I bought some fun and a bit silly stuff to wear at my local "dollar store" for just $3.21. 

Playground snowman

 

Will this snowman melt soon? It's March.... but we could have another blizzard?! 

A Lull in the road

 

Not the usual vehicle on the road next to the new apartment building under construction... 

Grandparents

 

John and Dianne made a snowman with their two granddaughters and the dog! 

Hippy types

 

Spotted these snow people on my way to work. I'm not judging but they have really big, round lower halves. 

Last day of Feb

 

Sunday morning was a snowy one. How much snow will we get in March?!

Let us break bread together

 

One doesn't have to go to Europe for great bread; one can buy it at Hyvee bakery! 

Ice rescue training

 

These professional Eagan firefighters were just three of the participants in a recent ice rescue certification.
