My hideout is behind the white tarp, to the right of the light blue tool shed with the open door. Soon after dawn, the little brown birds come whirring in my yard.
The hummingbirds aren’t far behind.
I mentally urge the hawk on, but it demurs.
It’s a quiet hidden place, my outdoor room. Watching the critters and birds, looking at my burl table, and other Humboldt County treasures, helps the day go by and eases the troubled mind. I remember a Brian Wilson song;
“There’s a world where I can go and tell my secrets to, in my room, in my room.”
Now it’s your turn!
You’ve been reading The Daily Bucket,
a nature refuge.
We amicably discuss frogs, animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters, and life’s patterns.
Phenology is how we take earth’s pulse.
We discuss what we see in each Bucket.
Each note adds to our understanding. Please comment about your own natural area, and include photos if possible. We love photos!
To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow, and join to write a Bucket of your own observations.
