Yesterday morning while I was reading the paper I started to hear a roar. Our sump pump never ran last year so the noise was not immediately familiar. Upon checking it out there was also a small stream of water coming in the basement near the furnace underneath which our water control system couldn't be installed. When I checked outside I discovered a couple inches of water pooled around that side of the foundation and more just about everywhere else. So after three hours of redirecting water our house is now protected by a moat! When you look east from the deck you see this...
...when you look west you see this.
And the path is cleared all the way down to the ditch and through two culverts west of here. You should have seen the water roar through when the plug came out of those culverts! I must admit to looking forward to warmer weather but I hate this part of spring in Minnesota!

I remember having a blast making waterways like that in the spring. I wish I was there!
