... after a big rain.

Why she and her husband continue to put furniture and other amenities down there is a head-scratcher to me. It seems like basement flooding has happened to them at least a twenty times over the years, with sump pumps and other preventative measures only helping sometimes.

Their home is next to a creek that frequently overflows during heavy rain too.

My sister said to me, "Better than living in a drought, I guess."

Like your painting, by the way!
