Just found a book on the new book shelf at Appleton Public Library with an intriguing title: Seven Deadly Sins of Gardening.
The sins are as you would expect: Greed, Pride, Lust, Wrath, Sloth, Envy and Gluttony. Balanced by Generosity, Love and Zeal.
I must say that I resonate more with where my own mind goes as I think about each of these in gardening terms than I do with the literary and historical vignettes this book contains. But perhaps just the idea and the launchpad for dreaming and self awareness is enough to get from such a small book. My thanks to author Toby Musgrave. And since the idea is so catchy, I will give the book a few more chapters to win me over.
