I love my yard. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good. The front yard is flat. It needs a tree again, but I look forward to choosing one and getting it planted. The side yards slope, but not too badly. I have a lot of weeds in the front flower garden and things that don't grow well in the back food garden. I have a lot of weeds among the grass. But the backyard is mainly flat with 3 large trees. and that makes up for a lot.
Because of the slope and the raised basement, I don't worry much about water in the basement. I am near the top of the hill. The water runs. It runs through my backyard like a stream during rain. Water runs. It washes out the grass and does things to my back garden.
I wonder if I should hire a landscaper to come in and advise me about channeling the water. I wonder if it would help or make the neighbors below me mad. I wonder if I fenced the yard if it would make a difference. I wonder a lot. I haven't done anything yet. I am not sure that I ever will. But, on nights like Monday when we got 2 inches of rain in a very short time I think about the rain and how it runs.
