So our first week of living in our new home started off with a bang on Sunday - where it was reported 2 inches of rain fell within the hour. Inevitably some of this water ended up in our basement cellar entry. Once I opened the door, water streamed in - argh! My biggest worry was how much water would accumulate. Fortunately the previous owners left araound pumps which once Helens father arrived, we plugged in and began to get the water out. Thankfully!
Other neighbors reported flooding as well. When you own a property and this happens, afear that is hard two explain overcomes you. The neighbors assured us this is a rare event - and 2 inches of rain within an hour is unusual for this area.

Helen starts taking on patients tomorrow - Picasso is getting adjusted to all the other dogs in the neighborhood and I need to get my studio supplies out so I can start some painting. :)
