Queen Liz

 

At Mad Cow Burgers and Brews, Queen Elizabeth II was waving at me. I was pleasantly surprised! 

Saturday sunrise

 

The sun was coming up at 8 am. It was 26 degrees and partly cloudy. 

Hearts in the air

 

Balloons for Valentine's Day are already available at Hyvee grocery store. 

Beautiful bricks

 

I spotted this handsome house in an upscale neighborhood in Eagan. Like it? 

Night flight

 

Melissa Boily snapped this photo over Eagan from her brother's small private airplane window. He flew the plane; she took the photos! 

Magical! 

Skiing the trails

 

Mary enjoyed skiing the cross country trails last weekend at our huge, local, Lebanon Hills Park.

Snowman's late afternoon

 

This snowman waved at me when I drove by on my way home from work last week.... 

Backyard Cardinal

Got ticket?

 

My neighborhood gas station sells lottery tickets. Someone might have won over $1,000,000,000 on Friday night's "Mega Millions" lottery! What would YOU do with all that money (less 50% in taxes)?

Accidentally

 

The police and fire truck were on the scene of an accident on Wednesday night. I hope nobody was hurt! 

Heavenly clouds

 

The clouds covered the sky like a soft, cottony blanket at Lebanon Hills Park.

Beautiful Blackhawk

Goodbye Christmas

 

The Christmas tree, its ornaments and other decorations went into boxes in the storage room on Sunday afternoon. 

Have you taken down your Christmas tree and decorations already?

Yummy dinner

 

Potato gnocchi with a beef bolognese sauce, pesto and pine nuts on Saturday night at Café Valdir.   

Snow angel

 

Do you remember making a "snow angel" in the snow as a kid?

Nothing Bundt Cakes

 

This friendly clerk helped me pick out a birthday cake for my middle daughter's dinner. 

So many yummy cake options! 

Morning view

 

On my early morning walk, I passed a list of some name brand stores at the Eagan Outlet Mall. 

Weather update

 

It's overcast and 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Just another winter day in Eagan. 

Minnesota Vikings

 

Need some football inspired cereal? Why not some purple power to start your day?! Skol!

(But in Swedish, it would be correctly spelt "Skål!")

New week, new year

 

They were calmly walking into the new year of 2021! Let's make it a good one! 

Snow nest

 

When we have a snow blizzard forecast, it would be smarter to park in one's driveway.  Otherwise, the snow plow will make it difficult to get of snow piles.... 

Cookie baking memory

 

We baked Peanut Blossom cookies at Christmas time. So yummy.....  

Forget you - 2020!

 

We all look forward to 2021 especially with a difficult 2020 filled with Covid and political challenges!

Happy New Year!!
