Porch Flooded

I know it is spring when the sun porch floods. Every year, just when the weather warms up enough to melt some of the snow off the herb garden, it springs a major leak and floods all over. Right now, parts are an inch deep (or more, depending on the divot in the concrete floor). And knowing water, it spreads all over like thin icing. Icing is the correct term, of course, when it gets dark and everything that was liquid refreezes. Then, the soggy sun porch becomes a first-class skating rink. Before I moved here, I never thought: "Gosh, gotta go spread some salt inside the house!" The cats are going to need canoes to get to the litter box before too long.
