organic balance

We are experiencing alot of rain storms here, they are quite lovely.  The basement is a Michigan cellar, meaning a low ceiling with iffy walls.  These are crumbling and let in the moisture - the dehumidifier is full, probably before I have even finished shutting the trap door in the pantry that is the entrance.  Well, it has been doing this for a long time before I got here - 160 years, most of those folks probably did not have a dehumifier.
I can either get into resistance to all of this or be neutral, and have some amusement, not let it rule.
