The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Rain, sun, wind...insects, birds, flowers...meteorites, rocks...seasonal changes...all are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.
Well, I'm told spring has arrived.
I'm having a hard time believing it. See, there's still all this snow.
The fish say it might be getting warmer, but they're fish. What do they know?
I'm not convinced.
Mom Nature seems to be messing with us up here in the Great Northeast.
There are some signs of dirt, if you have your waders on.
And hints of green, if you squint.
The rabbits have pruned some of the trees for the humans . . .
And left them some fertilizer . . .
But it looks like winter is here forever.
Wait, what's that you say, Mom? APRIL FOOLS!! Spring is really coming this year?? YAY!
(You know I love you, Mom Nature, but sometimes your sense of humor is . . . trying.)
