Photos Containing Two Bridges

It rained very hard this evening. It was a million dollar rain for local farmers and a life saver for a lot of city owned trees that line the streets of the Capitol City. I can never figure out why the city spends beaucoup euros to plant thriving trees on the boulevards, but won't spend a farthing to water them so they will survive through a drought. The mayor should be contacted. The urban forest needs a champion.

No bike ride for me today, either. I had tennis scheduled for 5 pm, and had started on my way to the site, when the skies opened and drowned the courts. We moved the game inside to Wooddale, thereby avoiding the cancellation. It rained very hard while we were playing. I could hear it on the roof, but it had no effect on the outcome. Our time was curtailed by other tennis court renters, but we managed two sets in a little over an hour.

The photo of the day is the latest of my series of photos that contain at least two bridges. I may use "two bridges" as my new theme for slow blog days - usually rainy days. This one is of one of the least used entrances to Fort Snelling State Park, and is in the city of Mendota. The bridges are both railroad bridges, and old one and a newer one. One can discern the Minnesota River through the bridge entrances with the use of a little imagination.



Herb had a fried tofu sandwich for dinner and one of TT's noted kiwi, tomato, and veggie salads with feta cheese. It's time to get creative with salads again, because it's nearly time for the trip to blueberry country.
