Found during a midday walk. One has to wonder why the need for a tea party for a porcelain cat, but you have to admit, it’s a rather pretty setting.

It was general conference this weekend and for once, I had the whole weekend off. My bishop (equivalent of a priest or pastor) invites the ward (congregation/parish) to his house on Sunday morning for breakfast and lunch, in between the 2-2 hour blocks of talks. It’s one of my favorite traditions. His house is about 30 miles away from Milwaukee, in tree blanketed hills, so this time of year is just absolutely gorgeous. After the first block, we ate lunch and took a walk around the hills. For the first time in months, I could hear birds and squirrels and nothing else. I miss silence, sometimes.

All of the rest of the pictures can be found here on my facebook. I think you should be able to see it without being my friend or signing into fb.
