Signs of the times

 

Icicles formed when the sun melted some snow off my balcony overhang. Frozen February. 

Another snowman

 

Because we all like snowmen, right? Happy winter! 

Topless

 

The apartment building next to the Eagan Outlet mall is progressing. Two large cranes do the grunt work. 

Car wash

 

My car needed some gas and definitely a car wash. Kowalski's gas station on Diffley Road has it all! 

Stopped in my tracks

 

A blizzard hit us on Thursday morning and the temperatures will drop to 0 degrees through the weekend. 

Glorious

 

Kim O'Brien captured a beautiful scene behind the Eagan Community Center on Wednesday. 

Unto Ashes

 

Ash Wednesday returns in just two weeks, a new lenten season and a signal to spring. 

Olaf the snowman?

 He looks like a character from the movie FROZEN! Gotta love a snowman in Minnesota. 

Renewal

 

This house looks to have been completely gutted. One can see all the way through it. A portable potty stands out front for workers.

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

 A colorful, beautiful cardinal photographed by Jill Wirtanen. 

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.
