139. a sneakyart drop of summer
scenes from my world this week
Dear reader,
The beautiful days of summer are here. I am pleased to share them with you.
If you like having me in your inbox, tell more people about my work. Make a scene at parties. Embarrass close friends and family. Be oddly persistent. Don’t take no for an answer.
Today’s post is best enjoyed with the music of Nick Drake. He lived a lost, melancholic life, seeing things that no one else did.
This week, under cool shade and dappled sunlight I found a free library.

Have you seen free libraries, used them, or managed them? I would love to hear from you!
Summer is time off from school. Children are everywhere.

(quote from a favourite passage in Catch 22 by Joseph Heller)
Summer is also wedding season, or the season to do as the wedding photographer asks of you.

Thank you for giving me a space in your inbox this week.
Beautiful sketches! I have seen those free micro-libraries people run. They’re neat!
