The Rains Came Down...
...and our drain clogged up!
Do hot tubs float?
The firepit moat.
I lined all the kids up in chairs by the cluck-thru window and told them to watch me out the window. I took the broom out and swept the leaves off the drain as fast as I could. It would gurgle and drain for a hot minute then I would be at it again. More gurgling. I made a little leaf dam so the water that was draining from our neighbor's house wouldn't come down to the drain but would drain into the corn patch.
All of a sudden the was a leaf rake coming out the cluck-thru. Pappy was home and saw my dilemma. With a little more sweeping and raking I was able to unclog everything. Meanwhile in the neighborhood...
Up the street
next door
our ditch
Our light flickered a few times but our power never went out. The basement didn't flood. We were extremely lucky.
