The snow is melting
and basements are filling up
and then being pumped out
so the ditches fill up.
Our neighbor even had to dig
a ditch through his lawn
so it wouldn't become a lake
in his front yard .
Like the lake in his field
across the street was the source of all the water
coming from homes further south.
But the worst part of it is that our city employee
just rides around in his truck and won't stop to
clean out the drains.
My surface well that usually sits at about 7 feet
below ground level, except when we irrigate,
is now at three feet or less below ground level.
And the snow on my lawn has hardly melted
except under the trees where there wasn't a lot anyway.
And it hasn't even started.
