A Spot of Rain

Looking at this you wouldn't believe that the sun is shining again outside, just a few hours later.

It started raining early this morning, nothing special about that. Only it didn't stop and kept getting stronger and stronger. Until our courtyard looked like this.

We always wanted a lake by the house!

Thank god Fa, Dani and Carlos had recent training with hoses and pumps after cleaning Andrew's pond.

A lunch well earned.

Because we needed all the help we could get. If you know the house, water came into the entrance past the writing desk. Oh fun!

Lots of hands (and mops and towels and buckets) make the work lighter.
BRING MORE TOWELS!

In fact, just to be on the safe side we put Small Paw into a makeshift boat (aka a laundry basket) so she could ride out the waves there.

Hey lady, can I get a paddle here? How am I supposed to move??
