What's a good enough cause?

Today as I was down Walnut st., there were two boys, probably around my age, with signs that said "trying to get to the west coast." They asked if I had some spare change as I passed by, and I said I did not (which wasn't a lie!). They, very kindly, said to have a great day, thanks anyways. The one boy decided to throw in there ,as I had already passed, that I was very pretty in this shy, boyish way. It was kind of endearing and I was sure to turn around and thank him as I made my way to walk a cute little french bulldog in Rittenhouse. Sometimes when I walk in Rittenhouse, there are a few stand selling local vegetables and fruits. As I was walking, I debated back and forth of whether or not I should buy some so I could give them some spare change. I mean, I had to walk back that way anyways and they were so nice! I couldn't deny my urge to snatch up some brightly colored zucchini. Plus I was curious why/where they were traveling to.

I threw the zucs in my bag and was on my way to the next walk.  As I walked up to the boys, I asked where they were going and why. Turns out, they were on their way to a hippie festival in Washington. Ok, so not the most "charitable" thing to support, but I still gave them some money. I guess part of it was because they seemed very nice and genuine. You gotta give a little love to get some right? For whatever reason, I tried to validate this to myself. ( I have very little money and I'm giving it away. Am I nuts!?) I came to realize that I kind of envied them. More power to them for being able to relinquish all valuables and just travel. They believe in the pure kindness of other people to help their journey along, which is a difficult thing to do. I also figured that they won't be spending it on drugs or alcohol to encourage a miserable life. They're enriching their lives! I'm not sure if majority of society would believe that, but I do! They told me of all the places they've traveled this way and the things they've seen. I WISH I could see the things they have. Either way, I think its commendable what they're doing which is difficult to see when people are asking for money. It makes me curious how people decide when they want to be giving. Why should we give and who should we give to? Just a thought.

Anyways, MEGA POST.

It's the first day of summer, and here's some things that I made today. 

Fresh Raspberry and Blueberry Lemonade

Fresh Corn with fresh Cilantro and a 

dash of sea salt.  

 Mimosas! Shared and made with Amanda.

I'm not entirely sure what to call this, but it sure does smell yummy.

 It's some sort ofmultigrain bread-thing with fresh picked raspberries.
