I drove past the pedestrian underpass that leads the elementary school this morning, and it was surrounded by emergency personnel. That sucker was FULL TO THE BRIM with rainwater. Never seen anything like it.
Wow! DGM and Websavymom had some funny comments above. I was going to say, “Have you learned to walk on water yet?” “Over my Head” by the Fray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFRkpvvop3I
Tiger needs a shovel to dig himself out of the mess he has made……………….your yard will drain and in the Spring come back more beautiful than ever.
Tger……………not so much!
We caught sight of Noah this morning at the University. Floating along on one of our parking lots. By noon we had clear skies and the sun warmed it up to the 50s! Oy, Jersey
