Slice of Life Tuesday: Fête Drapeau/Fèt Drapo

 Happy Haitian Flag Day! Here is some history of the Haitian flag.

 

I did an hour of leisurely birding this morning on my front porch with a cup of tea. I will catch up on my grading today. It's supposed to get up to 93 degrees.


I am happy to have a day off.

Ruth, happy Haitian Flag Day to you too! Are you able to speak French and Creole? Or do you rely on English? It must be fascinating living in Haiti. I hope you enjoy some more time off to relax and not just grade today as well as the lovely birding and tea start to your day!

Yes, I speak French and Creole. And I didn't even get my grading done today because other things intervened! But I still had the lovely birding and tea! Thanks for reading, Denise!

Happy holiday to you! I would love to know more about this holiday and how it is celebrated... as well as what kinds of birds you can see! (I love birds!) Thank you for sharing with us!

JenniferM, thanks for reading.

Schoolchildren have parades and there are flags everywhere! It's very exciting!

I've written lots here on my blog about birds I see. Here's a post that mentions lots of them: https://thereisnosuchthingasagodforsakentown.blogspot.com/2021/04/slice-of-life-tuesday-npm-day-27.html
