| 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. |

As of October 29, 2018
Most stuff is dormant or going there, so not too much to really report on.

rose and pineapple sage, not sure when that rose blossomed
pineapple sage, orange and ribes behind
fewer oranges, but still enough and still ripe and sweet
