Time: Several Hours       
Bottom Line: "The point is, you can't be to greedy" - Donald Trump

I picked the prettiest flower I could find.

Reflection: Day six in our exploration of the Seven Deadlies is greed. Here is the requisite wiki definition: 

Greed is the inordinate desire to possess wealth, goods, or objects of abstract value with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. It is applied to a markedly high desire for and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.

To start the day off on a non-greedy foot, I made a donation to City Harvest which is a great outreach program sponsored by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society (the same group that is responsible for the Philly Flower Show. Here is a little description:
      

The PHS City Harvest program taps the skills and energy of urban gardeners to make fresh, nutritious produce more widely available in under-resourced neighborhoods. Through City Harvest, PHS and its partners have empowered urban gardeners to share the fruits of their labor with families in need. The program is creating an infrastructure of agricultural supply and education centers, as well as expanding fresh food production, distribution, and consumption in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, thereby creating a healthier future for thousands of city residents. City Harvest also has offered more than 600 inmates opportunities to gain job skills, give back to their communities, and look forward promising futures.

Then Jen and Little D. and I made our way to the Philly Flower Shower for our first time ever!! It was amazing. It is the oldest flower show in the country and is huge. If you have never been, I suggest you go. Our favorite part was the professional florist competition. It was great to spend so much time with Jen and Little D. Thanks, to the never greedy Jennifer!!
