Curb appeal

 Isn't this a lovely house? What do you think of the design? 

Sunflowers

 Summer flowers after springtime showers! Ah, the sunflowers! 

Got bass?

 These young boys were fishing and I quietly took their photo.

Garden boxes

These resident garden boxes seem to be flourishing at a senior independent living apartment complex. 
 

Dogs on Diffley

This woman's two, beautiful, chocolate labs caught my attention at the stoplight at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Diffley Road. 

Artful RED

 

This tall, newer art sculpture has no artist's name plaque.  I wonder who the artist is and the title of the work.... 

Seeds on good soil

 They have a good message for summer.... got it?

Red and orange

The orange daylilies were so lovely against the red farm building.... 

#flashbackFriday

Golden hour

 The light was magnificent and my timing was just right! 

Soon another salon

 In no time, they'll be giving haircuts and more in this new salon. How long will construction take? 

Construction chaos

Tina Sheppard spotted these smashed up construction cones. Maybe people are getting tired of construction delays and now rebelling? 

Grand opening day!

Today is the big welcoming day at the newly built Olive Garden Restaurant near Hyvee. Stop in for pasta, good bread and a glass of wine! 

Headless

 The mannequins were posing quietly at Old Navy.... and not moving. 

Balcony update

The plants and flowers are flourishing on our balcony. Come join us for a cup of morning coffee with a view! 

Idyllic

 

This beautiful, pioneer, red barn at Holz Farm always makes me smile with every visit.

Got Zinnias?

 

Those pink and orange flowers are available now at Kowalski's grocery store! But hurry up! 

Stray cat

 A sweet cat stopped by our garage on Saturday night; lovable but my allergies won't allow for a cat. 

Snack packs

Members of the Eagan Kickstart Rotary Club packed Mobile Lunchbox Snackpacks for the Open Door Foodshelf! 

Quilts display

 

These three lovely ladies greeted me at the Holz Farm event on Sunday afternoon. Vintage and new quilts were displayed and visitors could tour the old pioneer farm house! 

Friends

 Friends came over for a Brazilian lunch of feijoada; we started with Caipirinha drinks! Cheers! 

Glass flower

 Could have, should have bought me a glass, metal flower to decorate a flower pot at the Eagan art fair! 

Eagan Ambassadors

These young ladies represent Eagan in many parades and other events.  They braved the rainy July 4th parade and kept waving and smiling!

Festival singers

 This band was performing at the Eagan Art Festival last weekend. Great music! 

Dog walker

 The dogs were out for a walk and she had to pick up after them...
