this morning I walked out of my house to go to work, and I was grumbling because of all the rain yesterday. because of this rain, we now have 4-6 huge ruts in our driveway, about 2 1/2 feet wide and about 6 inches deep. Plus, all the runoff created a mess in the yard, with leaves and debris everywhere! So I'm debating if I should ignore the problem and hope it goes away, wait 'till spring and nicer weather to clean it up, or just suck it up and clean the mess out of the yard.
As I pulled into work, I looked over at the huge drainage pond in front of the med center. It's normally dry and covered with grass, but everytime it rains a lot, that drainage ditch really does become a pond, or a medium sized lake. As I looked over, I noticed that there were 50-60 ducks and geese, having a wonderful time swimming around, flapping their wings and splashing each other, and practicing take-offs and landings. It was really fun to watch! They didn't care how the water got there, or that yesterday they were pelted with rain and were dodging lightning bolts, or confused because this lake wasn't usually there. they were thinking - hey, cool, a lake! hey - you splashed me! you'd better watch out - I'm gonna get you back!
maybe I'll go splash in a few puddles on my way home :)
