Darin Draws #31

new drawings

Hey friends,

If you’ve been following along you might know I’ve been trying really hard to get a job at the library. Well, I didn’t get any of the last three jobs I applied for, but I’m throwing my hat into the ring for another one today. I’m gonna wear them down. Think good thoughts!

I’m in the garden a lot these days. It makes me feel grounded. This week I planted a gigantic hasta and a handful of lilac starts (we already have a bunch of white ones in bloom, but these new ones are purple). The girls think they stink. I used to hate the strong smell of rose because it reminded me of old church ladies, and church felt like jail, but now the smell of flowers just makes me think of the garden, which feels like church.

Also, this week I lost my dear friend, Sten, from the ACME Pump Company. I’m not sure he’d like these drawings, but they’re for him all the same. He was a gentle, loving, funny, one of a kind guy, and I’ll love him forever.

Thanks for being here. Keep drawing.

Peace and love,

Darin
