If you can believe it, Minnesota reached above freezing for four days in a row. It sure felt good to leave the winter coat in the car, but each hour of melting temperatures our moat grew. The house is on a hill, to say the least, and water goes downhill. So with the melting and raining we got a moat. Luckily the water was a moat around the deck and patio, and not a pool in the basement. BUT, being the first time homeowners we are, we decided to do our best to remove the moat so it didn't ever make it to the basement.
How, do you ask, does one remove a moat from the yard in the winter? Shop-vac. Yes, we vacuumed our backyard for about 4 hours last night. Honestly made some progress, Brewer can now do his business without watching for crocodiles. But I cant get the image of
Eddie at Christmas out of my head.

Yikes! The temps have been glorious here! I hope spring really is near and not just a teaser!
Glad that the "moat" didnt make it far.
