The Rabbit bush is most prolific along the roads. earlier it was a brighter yellow but is now going to seed. The rabbits like to hide in it therefore the name Rabbit bush. The yellow flowers are used for dyeing wool and years back the stems were used for weaving baskets. The bush on the lower right has been eaten by the livestock but it doesn't appear to be a favorite food. Everything had its use at one time.
If you love sunshine, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and green is not your favorite color then Arizona is the place for you.
Our first and only tarantula we have seen this summer. We see few spiders here but when we do they are large.
Our Branch trunk and treat. We had an annual pot luck supper and then trunk and treat. At first it appeared not many were coming but eventually we had a good crowd. This is probably the warmest Halloween we will experience. It was in the 20's and we had the swamp cooler on in the afternoon. The nights get cool.
This has been a first of the month week so few people are at home but we still kept busy. With Halloween and people stopping by needing this and that and getting people to where they need to go it keeps us going. Contractors were remodelling and painting the church this week so it took us all Sat. morning to clean up. Our Branch president was moving this weekend so we helped out there also. Thanks for all the prayers in our behalf. They are appreciated.
Love to all,
Elder and Sister Lybbert
