Wow, wassup with my 'rain gutters'?

[Beachboy]

well today turned to be a real maintance kinda day. The wife stayed home from work, allowing to me to work around the house. Right before sunset I broke out the "step ladder" and decided to clean out the rain gutters by hand. I systematically went from one downspout to the next and freed them all up of debris that had fallen from surrounding Albeiza Trees. Now I realized why I had this small amount of water sitting in my rain gutter!
