quake

The Napa quake woke me up (ca. 3:20) but I thought maybe it was a rolling 4.0 sort of thing. Nanci texted me about 5 minutes later and the phone lighting up was enough to rouse me fully. I thought I should get up and go around smelling for gas. Nanci said she felt it and I would guess that's because she's right above the garage. Anyway once I had gotten out of bed it wasn't easy to go back to sleep.

I took my time getting over to the community garden but worked steadily for three hours, helping put in some new plants. I enjoyed working with Claire -- it felt companionable. Carrying the buckets of water knotted my shoulders and my neck. I'm on the couch now getting ready to get up so I can make dinner. But it is so very pleasant in here, watching the wind and the light on the curtains and listening to the Hable con Ella soundtrack.
