Oh, (sigh….)… everyone and everything in Todd’s Backyard is so ready for the desert’s Summer rainy season! Almost every afternoon, for the past week, at the peak of the heat, we check the clouds that start to build up. Just to tease us, right now…
Heard a little thunder….but still, no rain!
Everywhere you look, the rabbits are stretched out, under the cactus, in the dirt,trying to get at least a little relief from the parched ground. Once the rains come, this will be prime rabbit real estate, as the ground cools off.
The once silky ‘old man’ cactus is really getting frazzled baking in the sun! Hopefully the moisture will restore his fluffy ‘do!
Waiting for the monsoons, the hummingbirds are resting more often. Usually with their little beaks open and wings fanned out, to cool down. They may also be resting up to save their strength, so they can endure the violent storms to come!
Everyone is looking forward to the monsoons! Especially these guys…
The Colorado River Toads- they hibernate underground all year until the rains come, then watch out! Sometime around August it’s likely to become Toad’s Backyard!

Love the pix of the wildlife. The hummingbird silhouette is beautiful. Wish there was more of that it my little garden. I’m always amazed at all we can grow here in the desert.
