Also, can&#8217;t believe I &#8216;ve been doing this for the past 5 years without any break. I&#8217;ll write more about my blogging experience and memories in an another exclusive post.<\/p>\n<p>My Man and I have a new hobby now, it&#8217;s bird feeding and watching the birds enjoy their food. A couple of days ago, we hung two bird feeders in our backyard and we placed lots of bird seeds in it. Since then, we have been having a lot of birds visiting our backyard. It&#8217;s so peaceful and relaxing to see the birds eating their food and having fun. I&#8217;ve been seeing so many different kinds of pretty birds, wish I knew what kind of birds they were. We watched them through the glass doors and clicked so many pictures as well. It&#8217;s nearly impossible to go near them as they would fly away if we open the door. These are the little pleasures of life that make me happier.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing a couple of pictures with you all<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17311\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bird-feeders.jpg\" alt=\"bird feeders\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bird-feeders.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bird-feeders-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17312\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/birds.jpg\" alt=\"birds\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/birds.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/birds-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/birds-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the one pot dishes that I love the most is this chicken fried rice.
