Yesterday I commented that it had been raining lightly in Mazatlan; yesterday afternoon the skies opened as a northern storm system passed through. All evening and into the wee hours of this morning it rained heavily, on and off.
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.

This morning the storm has passed through, and here’s the current view out over the Pacific:
I was talking with my apartment property manager, who lives here year round, and he was telling me this rain was nuthin compared to the summer rains here. His office, which is next door to me, has a front door with a step between the sidewalk and the office floor that is over ten inches tall. During the summer storms, he says, he has to sandbag his doorway to keep the water out. From zero water in the streets to nearly two feet deep in the space of a few hours. And, it’s 90 degrees farenheit or more. No Way am I spending a summer here.
So, the “deluge” (for me) being over, it’s Blue Skies Smilin’ at Me. Sunny Mazatlan.
