Berry Pond
Dec. 7th, 2004 05:57 pmAll of the rain from the past few days have accumulated in the back third of the backyard. The next door neighbor has a drain just on his side of the fence and apparently it has become backed-up w/ leaves and pine straw.
Since he's off in D.C. somewhat indefinitely, I took a rake and dug some leaves out of the soup. But since the water is gathered above the pipe, I don't know how much debris I removed and how much I might have worsened the clog. The pond did retreat a few feet today, but previous rain storms (including Hurricane Ivan) were drained away within 12 hours of the rain stopping.
