Barnum and Otty can't believe how much it's been raining. All day long the rain drums soothingly against the roof, except for where it pours from the broken gutter just outside the bedroom window. This rushing of water tends to get on Barnum's and Otty's nerves (Otty's a little more than Barnum's) because it can only signal one thing: possible seepage in the basement, through the foundation.Owl and otter are certainly looking forward to Dennis the roof guy coming by to put on a Whole New Roof! What color shingles to pick? ("Beige" says Barnum. "Pea Green!" pipes up Otty.) In the meantime, it's fun to huddle together in Nathaniel's fine red hat, safe and dry from the summer showers.
