I'm hoping this is just an isolated pattern. Two or three years ago (not quite sure) was so wet though that it took two months to stain my deck (waiting for it to dry out after powerwashing it and then waiting for the rains to stop).

Another idea I'm entertaining is a DIY well (thanks to our pretty accessible water table) for watering the lawn. It's not clear how cool the town will be with this but worth exploring. :-)
