Fluffy stuff

After a Tuesday filled with non-stop flurries, the balcony ended up full of fresh snow. Let's hope the roads are well plowed by Wednesday morning....

Pre-snowstorm tower

Eagan's water tower was replaced by this technology tower a few years ago. This photo was taken Monday night before the "snowstorm."

My Scandinavian tree

On Sunday evening, I put up and decorated my little Nordic tree with mostly wooden, handmade decorations.

Lovely at Lost Spur

This Christmas tree greets guests who enter the Lost Spur Golf Club banquet hall.

A festive time

They set a holiday vibe before you even walk through their front door over at Doolittle's Restaurant.

Berries in the snow

It's been a snowy week here in Eagan and Cathy Patterson Miller captured these berries being dusted with snow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Whether you eat chicken or turkey on this American holiday, I wish you and yours many continued blessings for which we can all be very thankful!

On target for Christmas

As one of the biggest retail stores in Eagan, naturally Target is ready for Christmas shoppers.... even before Thanksgiving.

Winter parking

Well, looking out my office window, it seems like winter has definitely arrived......

I'm sorry.....

School bus driver Jennifer Peery shared this selfie and words of wisdom, "Sometimes we say and do things we shouldn't. It happens. We're human. But if we want to grow from our mistakes, we must take ownership of our words and actions by admitting we were wrong and genuinely apologizing. That's what defines us. Make it a great day!

Mike the artist

An art fair was held on Saturday at the Eagan Community Center with pottery, jewelry, paintings and more. This artist makes works with wooden pieces.

A newer, Japanese choice

My friend, Michael, and I tried a Japanese restaurant for lunch on Friday. Kyuramen opened in October in Eagan's "Town Centre." My lunch was the "Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen." They serve ramen bowls, Japanese beer, sake and appetizers. They received a great review from us. Top photo by: Michael Proebstle

Interact Club joint project

Over 20 members of the Interact Club from Eagan High School (think junior Rotarians) and 25 Eagan Rotarians joined together on Wednesday evening at Artworks in a fun, intergenerational service project to assembly 300 "Blizzard meals" for seniors who receive "Meals on Wheels."

Tea for two or three?

Jane Grender attended a "Senior High Tea" recently at the Eagan Community Center. Tea, treats and fun with others 55+ were enjoyed by all. Photo by Jane

Cathy's friends

These beautiful creatures caught Cathy Patterson Miller's attention and luckily her camera was close at hand this weekend!

Eagan plow

The first city snow plow zipped past my window on Monday morning. Autumn is over; winter has arrived with snow and cold temps!

Decked mall

The Eagan Outlet Mall is ready for Christmas shoppers! Welcome!

Got Christmas greenery?

Kowalski's Market grocery store is selling Christmas greens now. Do you want to decorate your front doorstep....

Celebrating Veterans

Students, faculty and staff gathered in the Eagan High School gymnasium on Friday for their annual Veterans Recognition celebration. Thank you, Veterans! Photo by Dakota County Commissioner Lauri Halverson

Vikings

At the Hyvee grocery store, one can spot the Vikings promotions..... Are you a football fan?

Recognizing and thanking....

The Eagan Rotary Club and the Eagan Kick-start Rotary Club hosted our much loved, annual Veterans Recognition Day lunch meeting on Wednesday. Three men were honored and thanked for their military service: left to right - Neil Constine, US Marine Corps 1995 - 2020; Ben Coons, US Navy 1963 - 1969; and Russell Adamson, US Marine Corps 1967 - 1969. They told their stories and we thanked them!

Mid-term elections

Tuesday was national election day in the US. We voted for mayor of Eagan and other local, state and national politicians. I voted at Christ Lutheran Church on Diffley Road on my way in to work.

$2,000,000,000

Yes, I bought 3 Powerball lottery tickets. If I win, I'll have $1,000,000,000 to enjoy and give to charity..... net after taxes! What would you do with $1 billion?! This is the largest Powerball pot ever!

Crafty consideration

If you are looking for crafting or sewing supplies, then one option would be the "Hobby Lobby" store. Happy autumn!

The wetlands

Such a peaceful view on a warm, autumn day. It was 70 degrees on Wednesday evening!

Hoarder or collector?

This garage was packed full with just enough space for one car. We don't know their story...... moving, collecting or something else?

Sunset at Mt Calvary

This gorgeous sunset over Mt Calvary Lutheran Church made the sky appear to be on fire!

An eco bag for $40

It didn't seem like much for $40 dollars. Inflation has really raised the price of groceries.

Fantastic fall

Eagan photog Cathy Patterson Miller strolled down to Trapp Farm Park and Schwanz Lake to admire the autumn beauty! Luckily, she takes her camera....

It's getting political....

At the corner of Rahn Road and Cedar Grove Pkwy, you can see the policial candidate promotional signs leading up to the November election.
