Surprise was not what I expected

I looked out the window this morning and got a big surprise! As I write it is still raining. Yesterday I was moving soil around to fill in spots that had shrunk. As you may know, after we had been in our new house (9  years ago) we learned that children loved coming into the backyard with their  ice skates. And  that is how we learned that we have a very wet garden. But we do carry on!

You can see the road is wet, even while getting things ready. But that was yesterday, the wet street was improving . Today we have swamp in the backyard.  However, we cannot complain. The world is an amazing place and we carry on.
