It rained all night long.
It's definitely different from 'normal', getting up and going out to drain the pond as opposed to topping it up. I've already drained probably 40+ gallons into the garden and the water is still well above typical levels.
The pond has a lot of excess capacity, so there should be no issues. There's just a little bit of anxiety seeing it pass previous heights, as new areas are tested.
I also started digging a mini 'rain garden' catchment area for the runoff from the roof. My property is high and well sloped, which is great for drainage, but I'm trying to slow it down so my plants can benefit.
There's another 2" of rain in the 7 day forecast with highs in the mid-teens C. Hopefully we can finally start finishing off these damned fires.
