Flooding in the park

We in Robbinsdale were not flooded in the recent storms, at least not in my part of town, yet I noticed on our walk this morning that a large flock of, hopefully, migrating geese was swimming in the middle of  Sanborn Park.  Sanborn Park does not usually have a lake in the middle of it. 

That home down the block is apparently still not getting any of the frequent rain, as I see they watered their lawn today, as they have been doing every day all spring and summer.  Yes, their lawn is lush and green, as is every other lawn in the neighborhood.  I think they may be trying to establish a rain forest, except they're  only growing and regularly mowing grass and a few of the usual annuals.  Looks nice though.
