The rains came down and the floods came up...
It's a pond!
It's a lake!
No! It's just my backyard!!!
This will be our first winter in this house and it appears that we may have a problem. The neighbors said that last year our whole backyard froze over into this really great ice skating rink, so, obviously we need to buy some ice skates!
One of our houses in England had a back yard that did this same thing on a regular basis. There was something wrong with the drainage, plus the houses behind us were built on a higher level, so water drained down. We had to dig everything up and reinstall proper drains. Not fun. Hope yours is more easily fixed.

Well at least there is a silver lining. We could really use some rain here. Sigh.
What a great attitude! I've never been ice skating, perhaps we should arrange a visit...
