As September drew to a close, and October began, we had a string of magical events on the homestead. The morning of October 1st we had a beautiful sunrise. What a great way to start the morning of one’s 50th birthday!
Red sky at morning may be a warning, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful! (Photo: Mark Zeiger).
During the last storm, the roof started to leak. It’s not a big deal, it does it at least once a year. We expect it, and know how to deal with it.
We pull out a ladder to reach the roof, throw a line over the roof peak and tie one end to a tree in the yard. One of us dons the safety harness we keep in the shed (this time, Michelle did it) and shinnies up the slick metal roof and secures to the line, holding a very important tool.
