Our own tadpole pond.
Warm and sunny. The water is going down a little. There is no longer standing water on the little patio out back.
The flagstones in the grass are still submerged though.
But the cavalry has arrived. The county has pumped out the drainage ditches along the road to the south of us. (Of course, one has to wonder if they are drainage ditches, why don’t they drain, why do they have to be pumped out.) Anyway, pumping out the drainage ditches outside our park didn’t make our water level go down, so they’ve finally agreed to pump our water into the newly emptied drainage ditches. I think they’re going to pump around the clock for three days, so that should make a difference. A difference until the next storm anyway. Someone still has to figure out where all this water is coming from when it rains. It doesn’t all come from just rain that fell on us.
