The season for finding the perfect Christmas tree has arrived. It is always amazing to witness the huge numbers of evergreens that are harvested from the canyons near Mink Creek each year, a great many of them headed for homes across the border into Utah.
Elder Eldon Wilcox and Sister Danita Wilcox are home in Mink Creek on a temporary leave from their mission activities in Bluff Fort, UT. Eldon has injured his shoulder and they are here for medical advice and treatment. Their plans are to return to the missionfield once the injury is healed. In the meantime it will be nice to have them amongst us again.
Bennett and Lori Keller were up from Hyrum, UT, for a short visit checking on their recent purchase of his grandmother's home, that of Mildred Keller. Things are improving at the site, a step at a time.
The Young Men's group have been learning about shooting, gun safety and hunting safety. In this area of the country this is essential information for all ages, particularly beginners.
Mink Creek has been a near perfect place for observing the northern lights that have brightened the night skies recently. The few yard lights throughout the community haven't dimmed the light show on our northern rim of our mountains.
The leaves that have been full of crunchiness, bunching up in any welcoming cavity are now very soggy. We had a day and a night of rain and more rain that left anything that was outdoors in a state of saturation. Most tree branches are bare and naked. It is amazing that there are still dry leaves clinging to branches, being stubborn.
