Today I am not going to be in my backyard. Instead, I am going to be walking more than a hundred miles through the mountains of New Mexico. I am on a pilgrimage to visit several churches and shrines. I will see many interesting plants and animals and I hope to write some articles about them when I come back on the twenty-fifth of September. There will not be any What’s in my Backyard posts until I get back from my trip. See you then!
