EID MUBARAK to all our Muslim Brothers and Sisters

Brian from Mount Roskill

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated across the globe as a culmination of a fasting and abstinence month.
=======================
Message from a Dear friend
=======================
"Here, we start celebrating right from the early morning prayers when we all, including all the women of the house, go together to offer Eid prayers. I felt so emotional offering the Eid prayers with my son, grandson, daughter, daughter in law and their kids. The feeling of happiness is indescribable. It’s such a blessing to be in this country where we get to celebrate Eid beautifully not only with our family and relatives but people of so many different nationalities.

"It is one of those precious moments I'll always cherish. Eid’s focus is being with family, loved ones and I’m thanking Allah immensely for giving us these prized moments."

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
