Go green!

 

The Waste Management garbage truck emptied our office dumpster. Think Green! 

Yielding bus

 

Some kids have classes even during the summer. This school bus was turning into the roundabout.  

Rain! Yeah!

 Because most of Minnesota is in a drought, we are all hoping it will continue to rain all day! 

Bike envy

 

This cool bike was parked out in front of the Lifetime Gym. Anyone want a ride? 

His deck

 The sun was shining and the plants were looking good. Enjoy summer, people! 

But wait....

This brown leaved tree caught my attention this week..... it's only July! Not ready for fall!

Fabulous Friday

 

In spite of our drought in much of Minnesota, the yard around Oak Cliff Place is green and lush. My Achievement Financial office is here. 

A new Thursday dawning...

 The city bus was zipping by as I stood on my front doorstep. It might reach 93 degrees today!

Lovely Lionesses

 

After 45 years, these Eagan Lionesses were merged in with the Eagan Lion's Club. Thanks for your service!

Can you polka?

 

They have a fun, unusual worship service coming in August! 

Flag and flowers

 

My driveway flowerpot is doing well; however, this week the temperatures will top 90 degrees every day! Keep watering... 

Art "accidents"

 

I accidentally bought both of these at today's Minnehaha Falls Art Fair in Minneapolis. But nobody got hurt! 

Fine Fiat 500

 

This compact Italian car was so cute that I almost hugged it at Hyvee! Bellisimo! 

Men at work

 

Four guys seemed to be "supervising" while two other guys did all the work! 

Newest celebrities

 

These four young ladies were crowned as the newest Eagan Funfest Ambassadors for the new year. Congrats!

End of day

 

Margie Scherbel beautifully captured this sunset! Like a masterpiece. 

Paris in Eagan

 

Tami, the owner of "Frame Minnesota," always expertly helps me select mats and frames for my original artwork. This watercolor and pen painting of "Sacre Coeur" (Sacred Heart Basilica in Paris) will hang soon at home. 

Almost $3 / gallon

 

Gas has crept up to $2.98...... quite a jump from a year ago. But it's cheaper than in other states and certainly many other countries! 

Purple place

 

They are building another big apartment building in Eagan just west of Nicols Road and just south of Diffley Road. 

Security guard

 

This turkey seemed to be walking around the Lifetime Fitness Gym parking lot on patrol! 

Orange sherbet

 

Karen Dare's camera phone captured this yummy, orange sunset! Mmmmm

Who who!

 

April Otzenberger spotted this OWL in Oak Chase Park east of Pilot Knob Road. Magnificent! 

FunFest fun ride

Eagan "Ambassadors" and other young kids gathered on Saturday for a bike ride at the Eagan Community Center as part of the July 4th FunFest. Red, white and blue!

Cal's beverage stand

 

This clever, young boy was selling lemonade and sweet tea on the corner for 50 cents under the watchful eye of his camera shy dad. When I asked him what makes his lemonade the best, he replied "it's homemade." I gave him a dollar and left with my drink. 

Happy July 4th!

 

America celebrates its Independence Day today with some parades, fireworks, picnics, family gatherings, etc!

Happy hour central

 

A beautifully flowered desk and parking lot with bean bag toss games awaits locals for drinks and fun at Cherokee Restaurant. It was quiet there at 8:30 am.... 

Bouquets are back!

 At Wednesday's weekly Market Fest, the beautiful flowers were again for sale this season! 

Not a caterpillar anymore ...

 

Here's another beautiful photo by photographer Cathy Patterson Miller - a butterfly!
