Blame it on the rain

Rain.
I love the sound of rain.  I love the freshness that it brings.  It signifies that Spring is on its way. 


Rain.
I don't like rain.  It's wet.  It seeps into the ground.  It gets into foundation cracks. It causes basement flooding.



Clean up begins
On the evening of March 5, we had a wonderful surprise in our finished basement.  Underneath a wall of bookshelves, below our carpet, rain had penetrated our house!  We had a couple days of rain - heavy rain.  Finally, it had seeped through an unknown crack in our foundation.  We are in the process of 'recovery' and hope to have the basement completed sooner rather than later.

So for a wonderful Sunday morning, Tracy and I enjoyed chatting and sipping our coffees while the boys toiled at the macho job of demolition:

Using brute strength (and manly gloves) our boys ripped down the walls

Zoë got to hang out with Rocky again.  The dogs were great despite the limited play space. 

Waiting for another treat
