Going fishing in my back yard

Well its been raining like gangbusters here in the cloud catching city of Port Coquitlam. Enough that I had to go into my shop and lift my entire wood stack so that it was raised off the floor. The water hasn't entered the woodshop yet....yet. The entire back yard is a couple of inches below water, and the gutters are overflowing. I cleaned them out last month after all the wind storms, so I know they are plugged. Its just that its raining so freaking hard that the run off from the roof is more than the poor gutters can manage.

On the bright side of the small lake in the back yard, is that my dog is having the time of her life. I stood in the doorway and watched her run across part of the yard, leap, and slide across to the fence. I haven't laughed so hard in ages.
