We don't have basements in Texas so we don't have to worry about that. Your backyard looks like it has more water in it than my pond...it is about to dry up!!!!

well regardless of the heat - I still have several 8-10 foot long sections of ice in my driveway that are still at least an inch thick

-- I was out there trying to break up the ice still in my driveway & sidewalk after weeks of repeated rain, ice & snow storms. I even put ice melt on the remaining ice and it's still that thick

The best part of the whole day?? My back gate is unfrozen for the first time in 15 days!! Now, I won't have to climb over the rod iron railing around my back porch to get into the driveway & reach my unattached garage anymore

-- you should have seen how cute I was trying to do that for the last 2 weeks - carrying my laptop or groceries -- especially the days I wore a skirt to work

- did I mention I'm only 4' 10" and that was quite a drop for my little legs - lol

Wow, it sounds like you've had a very interesting few weeks! I'm glad that you can open your gate now lol.

I have been there....I hope it clears up soon! Great pictures though!

I think we are getting all of your weather...we have had rain non-stop since late yesterday evening and today it is said to turn into freezing rain and then up to 5 inches of snow!!!

I am very happy that Spring is right around the corner, but for me ... it can't get here fast enough. Hang in there .... Your not alone.

Dirty, muddy paw prints .... 20 of them. LOL

In our basement, we have a spring that is somewhere underground and by the basement...and when it rains, sometimes it gets that spring over full and it will sometimes leak into the basement......which I do NOT know how it does that because the basement is wrapped in that thick tar plastic stuff..I feel your pain!!!

I always say I miss the snow but I forget that it has to melt! Cute picture of your baby.
