The last stop for this trip is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm, Minnesota. A beautiful little cathedral in a charming town. @TheCathedralPr

Some turkeys came to visit the Cathedral of St Paul this morning. @TheCathedralPr

Here’s a nice bit of internet to wrap up the week.

@VALiant573 It looks like the heaviest weather may pass to the west and north of us. That said, we have a basement. Hopefully we won’t need to hide in it.

@schley Yeah, I hope so too friend. Please be safe.

The garden is started! We added okra, cucumber, zucchini, garlic, shishito peppers, eggplant, strawberries and a few different varieties of basil to the mix this year.

@VALiant573 So I’ve heard! Hopefully no hail.

@schley I have it on good weather authority that your garden may be getting plenty of water here shortly⛈️⛈️☔️🌪️⛈️😳😬

Our cats really know how to relax.

St. Margaret Mary in Omaha may be an outlier for the series since it’s “just” a parish church, but it’s the church I celebrate Mass in every week. The interior is gorgeous as well and is worth a visit if you’re in town. #graphite #drawing #catholic #pilgrimage

I just now finished the drawing of St Margaret Mary’s. It’s my home parish so I put a little extra time into it. Follow @TheCathedralPr for more. . #graphite #pencil #drawing

A bit more progress on the drawing of St. Margaret Mary’s. Should be wrapped up this weekend. @TheCathedralPr

Making dirt! Bin in the back is just about ready to go. The one in the middle needs to work so I’m just stirring it occasionally. Fresh scraps & roughage go in the empty one up front. I’ll start mixing the ready compost into last year’s potting soil and get to planting soon.

Here’s a quick snap of yesterday’s progress on my drawing of St Margaret Mary’s. I’m wrapping up the HB layer and working out the delicate & fiddly bits before pushing the shadows with my softer pencils. #graphite #drawing #artwork @TheCathedralPr

Made it successfully to Sioux City and Sioux Falls for references today. Now to the studio! @TheCathedralPr

St Cecilia’s is the cathedral of my home diocese in Omaha, NE. I would often attend morning Mass there while in OCIA class. Since I wasn’t confirmed as a Catholic in full communion yet, I would instead receive a blessing rather than the Eucharist. 🧶➡️

I’ve got my work cut out for me over the next decade but it should make for a fine book of drawings and observations by the end of the trip.
