I woke up at 5:15 a.m. to a very familiar and unwelcome noise. I put my earplugs in and hoped by the time I got up to stay that the noise would be gone. Not so. The dreaded east winds had returned and with it lots of loud, unidentifiable noises. I opened the blinds on the west side and looked out the bedroom window. Here is what I saw.
Yes, those are the brand new shingles from the roof.
I had that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach and wondered what I would discover when I opened the blinds in the kitchen.
No, we are not trying to grow a new crop in the garden. Maybe that was one of the mystery noises that I heard this morning.
I looked out the window and what did I see? Shingles hanging in the apricot tree.
There is also some damage on the south side, but this area seems to be where those winds really catch the shingles. So, I called the roofing company and they had someone here very quickly. Should have it fixed up again before too long. Wind, wind, go away.
