I can’t remember when I first heard the term “sucker hole” but around my neck of the woods it means being fooled by a patch of blue sky in the clouds — you think it’s going to clear up (sucker!) so you go outside only to get heavily rained on two minutes later.
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.

Or, it could actually clear up, the day could turn beautiful, and then you’d end up with no excuse for not going outside. But you’re not falling for no sucker hole, nosirree not me. Ha ha. Suckered again.
I’m sure hoping it’s going to clear up today. I really want to get back to Dellinger’s Pond here in Quincy, CA, and see what’s up with the ducks and geese and frogs and such.
Right this minute there’s no rain and it seems the sun is trying to take the lead, but who knows? And that’s one of the things I like about this time of year — being surprised by the weather.
In the meantime I’ll just keep an eye out the window.
