Gah Spring!

Screw Spring. Seriously.

I'll preface with, i didn't rake in the fall, and I'm fairly confident my landlord only partially raked the following fall. That said:

At first winter sucked; my yard was covered in leaves and the snow never looked pretty (except in heavy amounts of snow cases) because the dead leaves poked through the snow cover. Then when ever snow would thaw, my basement would leak. A little at first, then more and more, until one of the basement 'side rooms' (about 8' x 4') began filling too about an inch deep before overflowing into the rest of the basement.

At first i thought this was in part due to the leaves, and a lack of filtration, because the back yard was essentially a lake, with it's own swamp monster to boot!

Then spring came. And ruined everything.
I spent the bulk of our first warm weekend being a legitimate adult by doing yard work.
I filled 9 bags with yard refuse (90% leaves) and still have about 9 more bags to fill from around the garage, the side of the drive way, under the deck, and the front of the house.
But the central area of the backyard lake was cleared.

Then came the rain (a pivotal part of spring I'm told) and ravaged my backyard, and basement.
It was like Neptune himself took up residence in my basement, and then left and stiffed me on the rent.

Except not that bad.

So this rant rounds back out to my original point, screw spring.
Bring on the unbearably hot summer weather. Please.
