It rained over night and dawn produced temperatures around 50 with a prediction of not much improvement. It was windy and mid-50s by lunch. The sun was out and I could have . . .
But it just seemed like too big a change to try to absorb all in one big gulp. Instead I stayed in and watched the beginning of construction next door.
They are building a storm water reservoir over there. It is their land, I have no control over what they do.
But you live somewhere for 25 years and you start to think you know quite a bit about your immediate surroundings.
They dug down about three feet over there and this is what they pulled out of the hole.
My concern with the project has been disruption of what I had come to view as the natural surface and sub-surface water flow. It now appears to me that whatever it was we have had for the past 25 years it was something other than "natural".

I seem to remember a similar situation when a mailbox post was replaced a while back.
Yikes, that stuff does not look water soluable! No wonder so much water ran off into the street.
That is... a lot more concrete than I assumed based on our phone conversation. Yikes.
