Even more Spring

The flowers at Top Shelf at 31st and Lyndale are always so incredible. This year's tulips are beautiful.

The bonus is there will be more and varied types to follow these.

Gardening... ugh

How does a simple winter cleanup turn into a divide-Siberian-iris project? Dirt was flying every where. Oh, and the garden hose failed, too.

Gardening is back breaking.:-(

More Spring

On my run Saturday passed this beautiful tulip tree on bloom.

And in my own backyard the snowmix is starting to bloom. You can just make out a honey bee checking out the blooms.

Every parent needs a nap

I was checking the DNR St. Paul eagle cam last week and captured this image of one of the parents getting a nap in while the kids were looking around the nest.

Another eagle story from Sunday. I was walking around Lake Calhoun when a bald eagle was attempting to grab a duck from a flock that was on the lake. The eagle was using a very strong wind to hover over the panicking ducks.

The ducks broke into two groups but everyone stayed on the water. Not a single duck took flight which would have resulted in capture. The bald eagle made several attempts often having to fly up and circle around for another attempt.

Several people on the path stopped to watch this incredible feat of eagle aerial acrobatics and duck flock safety.

NPR Sunday Puzzle

I listen to NPR's Sunday Morning show pretty much every Sunday. There is a segment called the Sunday Puzzle in which the host along with Will Shortz, the New York Times puzzle editor, have a caller give answers to different kinds of puzzles or riddles.

To get chosen to participate you have to submit a correct answer to the weekly puzzle then have your name drawn. I have never actually submitted an answer. This week the answer popped immediately in my head... at least what I think is the correct answer.

If I am correct and my name gets picked, I will get a call Thursday afternoon to record this Sunday's puzzler segment! Stay tuned.
