Living in the Great Black Swamp

Yes, we do live in the area of Ohio known as the Great Black Swamp. Proof? OK.
It started raining late Saturday night and rained all day Sunday. This is our yard.

To the front of our yard. Good that our neighbor has a sailboat, right?

Our sump pump has also decided to go a bit wonky so Dennis got up several times during the night to check on it.
We have it so much better than some people though. We are thankful for our mostly dry basement.

In other news, I’ve been having a mild flu since Saturday evening. I’ll be going to work today. Think I’ll do alright.
