Thunderstorms came through booming and crashing and pouring last night. Around midnight, it crossed my mind to hope that the new roof was installed correctly. Seems that the old one was in even worse shape than we thought, so it was a good thing that we had it replaced when we did. No point in renovating the inside of a house if the roof could leak water into it at any time, we figured. First things first.
But now we have a solid roof. And we have rain, which so much of the country lacks right now, and which happily does not appear to be leaking into the house (knock on wood.) I am grateful for my burgeoning garden and the abundance from the farms around us, none of which we would have without the rain.
The simplest of blessings, and yet the most important: A good roof over our heads, water, and food. Reminding myself today to be grateful for these and the many others we enjoy and take for granted.
