There's
good news, and there's bad news. The bad news is that it's raining.
The good news is that it's raining. Oregon has been suffering near
drought conditions for nearly a year. The other good news is that we
have found none of the rain coming in around the new skylight.
I awoke
around 4 AM to the sound of rain pelting on Topper's metal roof.
Immediately, of course, I began wondering if my recent repair would
“hold water,” so to speak. Not wanting to disturb Jill, I lay
there, trying to sleep, wanting to get up and see if there were any
signs of leakage, not being able to sleep because of the sound of the
rain pounding on the roof a couple of feet above my head. It was
only after I did finally get up at 6 AM and put on my hearing aids
that I realized how loud the rain really is on the metal roof!
We will
wait and see how the weather pans out. If it continues to pour, we
will go home. If it dries up a bit, I think we will stay another
night. If we stay, it will be because we are able to get out and
enjoy more of God's beautiful creation here at Champoeg. That would
mean more photos. Stand by.
