Here is the view from the roof to the street just outside our gate,
compare that with the view of our backyard just a few feet away.
Can you guess what this vine is? It's a jicama!

garden blooms sparkling with raindrops
I took some photos right after the rain, I love the look of raindrops on blooms,like diamonds sparkling.
Here is the view from the roof to the street just outside our gate,
compare that with the view of our backyard just a few feet away.

Thanks, I took some more but they were a bit out of focus, my specialty unfortunately.

That's quite a contrast between the street and your yard! Is that due to your new drain?
Jonna, even before the new drain, our yard never got as filled up as the street since we have lots of bare ground for the water to seep into. We still get the water from the roof in there but it all soaks in really quick.
The water from the street doesn't get into the backyard very easily because it would have to go up the driveway first. The street floods so much because we are at corner, so all the rain water gathers there, if it didn't rain so fiercely here, I think the streets wouldn't flood so much. 3 inches of rain fell that day.

OMG, look at the lake next to your house! and I know that jus up the street at the corner of Calle 66 and 71 is always the worst in that area! Better take swim lessons!
Don't panic Chicafeliz! The water drains super fast, in a couple of hours most of it is gone. It's just that the drains aren't all that big so it takes a little time. It's not like we have a drainage system, just holes covered with grates. Since the city is fixing up our area I am sure that they will be adding more grates as time goes on.
