A good bit of the afternoon I spent on the ladder, trying to figure out how water is getting into the wall in our bedroom. It’s against the chimney, so I assumed the water was leaking in through some crack somewhere.

“Some” crack is hardly the word. Once I’d cleaned off all the moss that was growing there, I saw we had multiple cracks through which water could easily seep.

In the evening, date night: sushi and a stroll around downtown. This weekend is Fall for Greenville, which meant the streets were packed. But it was a lovely, cozy evening nonetheless.
