You should have my problem. The city has paved
the street so that the interception of two
streets form a big pool of water. It cannot
drain off so it holds the water until enough
cars go through it to drain it. It holds water
for weeks.

Re: “If ya have old tires that have water ”

Hm. I didn't think about tires. There are a couple. One was used years ago as a swing. I should probably cut it down and get rid of it. The other covers my septic cap - so that I never accidentally mow over it. I should put some oil into that one.

Aside from those, there isn't anything nearby that's obvious. But the forest isn't far in that direction, and water could always pool on some of the fallen or dead trees. The biggest issue, though, is that if you continue a bit further - say a hundred yards into the woods, the little creek that meanders that direction slows down and turns swampy. I've got a muddy area that's perhaps 50' x 50' with very little water flow. Mosquitoes probably love it.
