Beautiful!

Thanks, Andrew! Nothing to add. I didn't feel it (hospital hallways are always shaking!)😄

Great photo! Beautiful.

Great photo - and such a well-behaved backseat driver! Here is a photo of my backseat drivers (taken a few years ago) - our dear English Setter, Winston, and my sons dog Henry. Not quite as well-behaved as we headed down to the beach.

OK - I will leave it for now! No frost in the forecast yet (3C / 37F one night though). It is a Juliet tomato plant and they produce until there is a hard frost. I now bring in the tomatoes once they have some pink and let them ripen in the house. So far, so good. Thanks.

I do this. I also thought that it was common practice...

Yes, a beautiful scent that keeps the deer away! They grow fast and bloom in the Spring and Autumn! Great plants.

Still nice!

Thanks! Yes, things are great in the garden, still lots of fresh greens, beets and squash. Really enjoying the deer fence and the raised garden beds (in the sunny part of the yard) that our son built for us. The deer are not happy, but we are!

Thanks, as you mentioned, the Port Clements seismic station seems to be down.
I have checked another station in the area and there was nothing recorded at that time - perhaps you felt a blast or nearby construction? See 24-h plot from @earthscope.org here:

Hi - no earthquakes recorded in this area but a few "felt shaking" reports. Perhaps a blast?
