Our Lake

Last week we had a water problem.

From March 2009

It isn't fixed yet, but it has finally drained with the help of two sump pumps and a semi clogged drain. It isn't supposed to rain for a day or two. We are working on a permanent solution. Our backyard has always had a small pond when we have very wet weather. But this time the drain in place barely worked and after two days of heavy rain we had an estimated 20,000 gallons of water in the backyard, a foot from the house. Our good friends from down the street came over and set up a large sump pump otherwise it might still be draining back there.

This is Pati not worrying at all about the water. Unlike me, who had trouble sleeping one of the nights when more rain was predicted.

David had his first weekend off since Christmastime. It was really wonderful and I think he might have gotten enough rest to finally start to get rid of the cold that he has had for a month. The weather was nice enough to get out for a bike ride and to feed some birds.
