Miss Maisy Mae Visits the Desert

After a nighttime drive from Ontario with Caitlin and Maisy, we waited until morning to say hello to Wally and Colleen. We stood at the door ringing away on the doorbell...the place was locked up tighter than a drum. I thought for sure they would be up and around. As it turned out they were up and around ~ one of the valves for the watering system was stuck on and they were fighting a flooding battle in the backyard. 

The control box was not solving the problem. They had unplugged it trying to get the water off. I played with the control box to no avail ~ the water just kept spraying. The planter box had turned into a goldfish bowl and water was running down the street from all the runoff... 

 

Their house is on the far right ~ new paint color is a buckskin shade.

Maisy was sooo fluffy and clean. (Why don't dogs squint in the bright sunlight?) We didn't get photos of the grandparents meeting their grand-dog with all the flooding activity!
