Earthquake

Among many other things we had an earthquake today. No damage or injuries noted in our area. We have learned that it was a 5.8 magnitude quake centered in Virginia. Later this week we are expecting a visit from hurricane Irene.
Temperatures in later spring were cooler than normal while temperatures in early summer were hotter than usual, but now that its late summer it has been cooler. Overall, not bad.
Zoe and Ziggy have been well.
We have kept very busy with maintenance work around the house. delayed work from 2008 plus 2 years delayed while in India are now getting done. It is a big effort and takes lots of time and energy. One of our goals is to create an "India Room" . We'll see what happens
