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. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. 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.

Today's forecast predicted "drizzle" and earlier today we had wet pavement and sidewalks, but not the portion of the patio covered by shadecloth. Rain that can be stopped by shadecloth is pretty feeble, but the open areas are getting at least damp.
We have, since about 6:00 had three "sessions" of such rain, one is going on as I type. Not much, but it will help the plants and critters, and reduce the water load for gardening and landscaping if people are paying attention.
