Cat's Eye Marble

Thirty days of images, day two.  What a surprise, my kitty.  Because I don't have enough pictures of my kitty on my blog.

I loved playing with marbles as a kid and I still have a big jar of them tucked away.  Did you ever have cat's eye marbles?  I never realized until this image that I have two REAL cat's eye marbles looking at me every day.

Chives

I have challenged myself to 30 days--30 images.  Today is day 1.  I went out in the yard and found that my garden is completely free of snow.  As you can see, my chives are happy about that.

The Right Idea

I was taking some pictures on the High Bridge today.  The first crest of the Mississippi was on Thursday, I think.   As I was looking down on some expensive (and colorful) condos that were built a few years ago in the flood plain, I noticed at least one person with the right idea--a moving truck.

This area was an Italian community in the 50's and it was razed because it flooded every year and caused a lot of problems.  So now the area has been raised a few feet and fancy condos run the risk of some extra water features.  If it ever does flood, I wonder if the owners will have to pay extra association fees for those new water features.

What this winter needs

I can think of several days this winter when this vehicle would have come in handy.  Although I think it would be warmer if it was enclosed.  Maybe that's why it's sitting in a museum.

Back when cars had style

I was at the Ellingson Car Museum in Rogers, MN yesterday and saw some really nice eye candy.  In this case, the eye candy was some really sharp looking vintage cars; like this 1940's Hudson.  It's hard to find a car with this much style anymore.
