Something you don’t see everyday: an African American man being asked to leave the YMCA at 8AM for parading around the gym with a huge rebel flag on his shoulder while wearing street clothes and carrying a military backpack. 😳
These volunteer tomatoes that came up in our oregano pot seem to be doing well. Maybe they’re camparis?
The yard birds did a great job planting sunflowers this year.
It’s been a true pleasure to work on the Forgotten Realms with WotC over the years.
this was actually the setting for the first campaign i ever DM'ed. the basis for it was the Backdrop: Moonshae article in the old Dragon magazine, which I believe your original map of the Moonshaes was in!

Kittens alway get a little treat on fish night after dinner is finish, otherwise… someone gets hurt.
I made dinner for Jillian and myself tonight. Salmon with quinoa and fresh vegetables. The peppers, okra, tomatoes, eggplant, chives, parsley, coriander, and thyme are all from our garden.
Harvested some tomatoes from the garden for dinner tonight.
Has anyone tried that new spicy lettuce the news has been going on about all week?

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. @cathedralproject.bsky.social
Some turkeys came to visit the Cathedral of St Paul this morning.
Here at St Mary’s Basilica in Minneapolis, there’s a restoration effort going on. It’s nothing I can’t work around but I’m wondering what the new landscaping might look like in a year or two. #drawing @cathedralproject.bsky.social
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.
St. Margaret Mary in Omaha may be an outlier since it’s “just” a parish church, but it’s the church I celebrate Mass in every week. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked through those front doors. The interior is gorgeous as well. It’s 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 @cathedralproject.bsky.social for more. . #graphite #pencil #drawing
A bit more progress on the drawing of St. Margaret Mary’s. Should be wrapped up this weekend.
Making dirt! The 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 will 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 @cathedralproject.bsky.social
I’m building up the initial graphite layers (2H & HB) for my drawing of St Margaret Mary’s this afternoon. It’s a slow process but it really lets the surface texture of the paper come through.
