The Daily Bucket is a nature refuge.
We amicably discuss animals, weather, climate, soil, plants, waters and note life’s patterns.
We invite you to note what you are seeing around you in your own part of the world, and to share your observations in the comments below.

Every year since 2013 I’ve assembled a wall calendar for my mom. She’s 95 this year. Wall calendars have become obsolete for most people in the current era, what with iCal and Siri and all, but my mom still likes to write things down. It’s also a way to enjoy a shared passion for us: nature and the outdoors.
For the past few years I’ve posted the pages from the calendars at about this time of year here at the Bucket. Here are the pictures from the current year’s calendar (screenshots from the editing page - some have their edit icons but those don’t show up in print). The scenes are what you’d see outside each month. I’m lucky enough to have all these places in my “backyard”, although it’s been a while since I’ve visited many of them. During this hellacious year of 2020, nature has been more than ever a refuge from the awfulness of current events. Sometimes pictures have to be a way to go to those places.
I’ve created next year’s calendar already using an online company and am having it mailed directly to her. Our extended family will not be gathering together for Christmas this year in person.
