lately
Thank you so much for all your kind words on my last post..
The kids take a crash course swim class every summer and we were just informed that they will take place as scheduled.. so that's something to look forward to. D is also turning 10 at the end of the month.. we are hoping things will open up a bit more till then and maybe we can have a little picnic with some friends and family to celebrate.
Did you know Daniel Radcliff and many others are reading chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Check it out here. And JK Rowling just released another book online to read for free.. check it out here and she is asking for children who read it to help illustrate it.
I also very recently started binging on Schitt's Creek.. if you like me haven't seen it yet you must.. it is the perfect light hearted show for the pandemic.. I am four seasons in and there is not an episode I didn't like nor a character I am not rooting for.
It has finally warmed up and we had our first barbecue of the season..
We live in a semi wooded area so we are no strangers to deer roaming our streets and yards.. but it was our first time spotting a fawn as small as this one laying down as such. We usually see them sprinting around their mothers.. but here a mother was nowhere to be seen and the baby didn't move when we approached.. for a moment there we thought it was injured.. we were reassured by animal control that that was not the case and the mother would be back to collect her probably weak and tired baby in a bit.. and she did.. in a few hours the fawn had disappeared.
A robin laid eggs in a bush near our front door.. but unfortunately a predator got to the little eggs before they could hatch.. thankfully there is another nest in another bush.. some finch eggs and a cowbird egg. Fingers crossed these hatch.
M picked up a bird house to make sure our future bird eggs stay more protected..
After a month of no reading (was trying to focus on more religious reading for Ramadan).. I finally picked up a book :)

Fingers crossed that maybe things will still work out for you to travel this summer. I've not heard much in the news about how that part of the world fared with the virus.

How I love your home area - the bird eggs and the little baby deer.
So you think you will fly on a plane in July?
Wear masks and the kids too!

We've been able to get to our community pool and it's been wonderful. Just what we all need...fun in the water.

How awesome is nature?!
So much knowledge right outside our doors.
Hope your summer is happy and healthy.
Have a cozy evening!
P.S. Books are my life. : )
I've just finished watching the last episode of Chernobyl last night. Thank God, it's only a mini-series of 5 episodes! Binge watching takes a toll on me!
Happy Tuesday, Hena!

I hope you'll be able to visit family in Pakistan soon, if not in July, then hopefully soon. Time is passing so quickly. I was thinking of you during Ramadan, I hope you were able to enjoy this time of reflection and prayer despite the unusual circumstances of lock-down and pandemic.
Wishing you a lovely week x
