Earthquake
Apparently we had an earthquake this past Saturday night. We, however, did not feel it. We read about it in Sunday's paper, a 3 -inch thick paper for $3.oo, the San Francisco Chronicle. It registered on the Richter Scale as a 3.6 earthquake west of Richmond. Now we are about 30-40 minutes east of there hence maybe the difference. The guys that were out here working for Infrastructure were at their hotel in Richmond. One said his glass "danced" across the table. The other said the whole room shook and the windows rattled. We didn't even know about it. I wonder if it's such a common occurence to feel such tremors out here. Where Clayton, CA is, there are numerous mountains that pop up out of the flat plain, one Mt. Diablo, the highest around here is literally down at the end of our street. There is a state park there with trails which is something we checked out the other day and we want to go back and walk on some trails. We'd like to take the horses which Patti suggested, but I'm not sure, other than walk them down the street, how we'd get them there. They would actually fit in the big black bus but something tells me my husband would not be real happy with that idea. I would probably try that though. By the way, we have 4 eggs in the middle nest and still 5 in the other. These birds are laying one a day. We got a bird book today and still cannot identify her. Hopefully I can get a picture of the mama and you all can help us.
