@stephen_e_meyer @TheCathedralPr Hopefully later this year. I’d love to get back to Philly soon so the Cathedral of Sts Peter & Paul is high in the queue.

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.

Something All Must Witness To Believe
For those of you itching to see Puddles the Clown combine The Who’s “Pinball Wizard” with Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” this is for you.
Enjoy. Or hate. It’s a free country.
Well, relatively, anyway.

@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.

[Mike Schley @schley]

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.

[Mike Schley @schley]

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

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.

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.

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

[Mike Schley @schley]

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.

[Mike Schley @schley]

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

[Mike Schley @schley]

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. 🧶➡️

[Mike Schley @schley]

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.
