The Catchement

It turns out that our backyard is the water catchement for the entire neighborhood. Any fluid H2O immediately drains into our yard. A couple of weeks ago (when the tremendous rainstorm hit) our yard turned into a swimming pool. And then a day later an ice rink. The dogs hated it. Charlie would tiptoe out into the water and then quickly head for high ground. What a wuss. That's him over in the bushes.

Woah! Thats a lot of water! Good thing you don't have a basement. Is the skating rink good enough to actually slide around on? Could be fun. For your marathon training you could run in place in the backyard.

Well that sucks...or does it. Could you charge admission for the neighbors to use your pool/ice rink? The fact that Charlie is on the island seeking refuge makes the photos really funny...even if it's just not funny.
