Berkeley Wednesday with Maddie
So Wednesday we went to Berkeley with Maddie. And what did we do? We drove around places we used to drive. We took her up to Smyth Fernwald where the eucalyptus was chopped down, the plantings and oak trees are filling in, and I still don't understand the people who would live there and drive a BMW SUV (who are these people?).
We went to Monterey Market to rejoice in their produce (there are two kinds of people in Berkeley: the Monterey Market kind, and the Berkeley Bowl kind -- we became the former when we lived on MLK and never did convert). Then we went to the Berkeley horticultural nursery where Rob was very good and didn't buy any live plants this year (it was a ticklish business getting home a clematis a few years back), but exulted in their water plants and bought some seeds.
We stopped by Mr. Mopps and checked out all of the classic and politically correct and environmentally friendly toys.
Then we drove down Solano and went to Sweet Potatoes where we managed to clean up on clothes for Omega and Maddie. It felt like a real Berkeley day.
