  4. Hi Brenda, when the monsoon rains start, he will be calling for his mate at all hours, sounds like a sheep.

  6. My computer is acting really strange hope this posts...

    I can honestly say that besides the cicadas, the toads drives me crazy especially at night... I have gone out with the hose to drive them away...


    I guess you don't have dogs ? or do they know not to bite ? I have to keep an eye on my boys .

    cheers, parsnip

  8. Hi Parsnip, I don't have any dogs. Toads can come and go freely into the yard, but I usually only see one toad each summer.

  16. Love it! We once had a toad in our yard. So enthralled were we that we captured it and took it back to the pond so it would live. We aren't that good with remembering to water and feed them... ;)

  17. They must be unlucky to end up living in the desert - but lucky to have found a swimming pool!
