A Morning Surprise!

Good morning everyone!

Here are some pictures of what we woke up to this morning. Overnight the heavens definitely opened up! As the drains at the street level are higher than where liquid flows to, this is what has happened to our front yard. The city is aware...and has been for 3 years now. Finally they have made some markings this past week on the street where they are going to change the location of the drains. We have put our landscaping of the front yard on hold due to obvious reasons. Poor hubby had to trek out in low boots as we do not own hip-rubbers:) and just walk right into our 'pond'! He placed a sump pump into the water and it is now draining into one of the road drains via a garden hose. Keith's boots are now draining outside our front door.

Oops! The second picture is sideways....just turn your head...sorry!

Hope you all have a fun but 'dry' day!
