Yes, it’s good to be back. I have missed all my friends here.

I had to take a journey myself — a flight — to find myself after being surrounded by a lot of sickness and death. I just needed a break, and I have found healing in New Mexico. I go for a mineral bath along the Rio Grande a couple of times a week, then swim laps for about two hours after that. It is healing.

I love the different hummingbird species here, and four species of dove, the gamble quail. I am really enjoying this. We need rain, though. Looking forward to the “monsoon.”

New Mexico is definitely a very pretty state. Great birds too. You'll have to check out Bosque Del Apache on the Rio Grande, if you haven't already. The Silver City area is nice too. Just watch out for introduced Mexican gray wolves in the Gila wilderness area! But you know the rule: SSS!

Oh, did you know the New Mexico state bird is the greater roadrunner! You gotta like a state that elevates a cuckoo to state bird, dontcha?

All the best, girlangler, and hope to hear more from you in the future. Enjoy the Land of Enchantment!
