Honestly, we were starting to wonder if we were supposed to start building an ark. We had a lot of rain. Well, first we had a lot of late winter snow, then rain, then a break, then a lot more rain. We also had hard clay which doesn't absorb water very quickly.
Spring has pretty much sucked around these parts.
This was our back yard.
Incremental changes that neighbors have made over the years means that all the water runoff pools in our yard. This year was the worst it has been.
Luckily we did not have water in the basement, but the boys took to calling the yard a lake.
Mateo hooked up a couple pond pumps to hoses and we just steadily pumped water out to the storm drains in the street. But we need to start investigating more permanent options.
Today, while doing some yard clean up, I snapped some pictures of the garden path.
The sand base completely washed away and the the wood disks floated up.
Some floated clean out of the garden. I'm so annoyed because it had wintered well. When the snow first melted and I check it, it was in good shape. And now this.
I'm honestly just not sure right now if I am going to fix it or scrap it.
