The Flood

It seems like we get a flood in our backyard a few times a year.  This time was the worst because it was during winter and the snow made it harder to drain out.  A day before, the water was worse.  The water went all the way to the trampoline.  We had to dig 2 ditches so the water could flow out our backyard.

Note the water in the field, there is a pond or basin and when it melts the ground conveniently slants perfectly to our yard.  Causing the water buildup. 

 It is hard to see the creek on this side of the fence.  But it is there.  Hannelora filled up 2 huge buckets of water from her window well.  Unfortunately, her bedroom did get some water.
