One thing that's usually missing in the desert is autumn. I've been here about three weeks and although in most parts of the country it's midwinter, the desert is still showing fall color. I don't remember these bushes when I lived here before so I don't know if they're a new implant or if because of the rains Phoenix has experienced this fall they're just showing an unusual brilliance, but I like them a lot and have dubbed them "fire bush." If anyone knows what the real name is, would you clue me in?
P.S. I bought a house today! We're opting for a quick close to take place in a couple of weeks so hopefully I'll be able to take some photos very soon. I need to return to Texas to get my beloved Truck, who I left in capable hands, but now that I'm priming for a move, who can move without a reliable truck. I'll probably fly back the first week in February, spend a day visiting relatives and then head back to Phoenix to start the grand move. Maybe I'll even find a courthouse I left behind. I'm very excited to get into my own place again, get a dog, plant a garden and get some new furniture!

It sounds like an exciting new time for you. We had snow last night.
What a beautiful bush. I just love it. My team at http://www.paperwriting.xyz/ say it looks super beautiful. What's the name of this bush? I wonder if it can grow only in the dessert climate
YAY! Glad you have settled on a house and that you can now get on with things! The bush is gorgeous.
Congratulations! You certainly do not waste any time. It will be wonderful when you finally get everything settled.
How exciting, Kathy! I can't wait to see photos of the new house! I know it will feel good to get settled again.
