plum picking, lunch out

This morning we went to Vedanta to pick plums first thing. It was fun. We didn't need to get a ladder--we picked only the plums we could reach and filled a basket.

Then we visited P, who was raking near the Krishna pond. Then we did some sweeping.

For lunch we went out to a place called Thai Basil that's won the reader's award for best Thai restaurant in Sacramento several years in a row. We both got a delicious green curry with tofu and eggplant. That particular Thai Basil (there are four, I think) was abandoned--we were the only eaters there the entire time we were there.

Erik's reading me both the Moomin book Moominsummer Madness and DH Lawrence's The Rainbow, and they're pretty different! I asked, "Do you think the whole book will be this depressing?" after a particularly well done but depressing chapter of The Rainbow, and Erik said yes.
