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.
Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the phenological patterns that are quietly unwinding around us. To have the Daily Bucket in your Activity Stream, visit Backyard Science’s profile page and click on Follow.

I’m seriously trying to remain as upbeat as possible but it’s wearing on me.
The Red Sun kinda makes me feel like I’m living on the planet Krypton.
This won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. The Bear Fire.
The Bear Fire has wiped out my September backpacking plans.
Current Situation on the Bear:
The Bear Fire advanced to the north and northeast yesterday afternoon growing to 1,078 acres. Limited resources and difficult terrain make this a challenging fire to attack, but crews have good roads to work from and are working to keep the fire up on the flats to keep it from spreading east and west. The Bear Fire is located on the Pacific Crest Trail, 1-mile northwest of Butte Bar Campground and 1.5 southeast of Lookout Rock.
But we are continuing to get a little rain:
Smoky.
