Wednesday Yard Stuff

Chicken yard is greening up with mesquites getting leafy. This is about as green as it gets in our part of AZ, unless grass grows with a heavy monsoon season.

Mr. or Ms. Toad headed for garden box.  I always look down when walking, rattle snake season has started with warm temps.   Pleasant surprise to see this little critter.  It was sitting on that green hose or I may have passed by and missed it.

 

Close up with contrast change to better see the toad.  These are gentle little creatures, attracted by water.  My cousin and I would catch and release when visiting Nevada in childhood years.  Locals call these "horned toads". Great bug eaters so they are welcome in my garden.

Toy shed progress, nice and roomy inside with walls up.  Motor bikes and ATV will fit and leave more room in garage for cars.   No roof yet, just open beams.

Tarp put on today with slight prediction of rain.   No rain yet, just overcast and a cooler day.  Seems temps are headed way up so summer will be early and long.
