What Are Your Non-Fish Keeping Hobbies?

[FLFishChik]

Just curious as to what other hobbies or interests my fellow Nerms have outside of their aquariums? I have a few, like Sewing, quilting, Vegetable Gardenening, Butterfly Gardening, a little gaming. 
 

What are yours?

I’m going to love reading replies here. 😁 It’s not just what everyone’s other hobbies are, but what each person mixes in. 

For me, the top of the list would be my dart frog and micro gecko collection (still very small); and cherry tomato and hot pepper gardening (and turning those into sauces, jams, etc); and finding and eating edible wild mushrooms in my local Regional Forests, while dog walking on weekends. Birdwatching is up there too, but it’s definitely more passive and less active, i.e. I almost never go out of my way for it anymore. It’s more a matter of keeping my eye open for them as I come and go, and as they come and go.

   I like gaming sometimes, and reading is nice on a lot of occasions. I especially love writing though.

I write too! More for my own enjoyment, but live to read as well!

I enjoying quilting as well with a little crocheting a skill I learned from my grandma who is now gone. I also enjoy reading especially Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre hence the username.😀

My 3rd hobby would be my micro-framing/gardening. I built a 20'x30' greenhouse out of 2x2 lumber. That and all the outdoor growing keeps me pretty busy during the warmer months (we only grow spinach for fresh eating over the winter). I would actually have to rank my model railroading as my 1st hobby, slightly ahead of my fish keeping at this point. That could change over time, but they will always be neck and neck (I have a train room, but I don't have a fish room...yet. lol).

For me, Its horseback riding. Ive been doing it since i was 6 years old. now im at the barn 4 times a week to ride, and to work to pay off my lessons. I dont own a horse, but im looking into it!

I use to breed gargoyle geckos which was super fun. I use to be all reptiles now I am all fish. 

My wife is all chickens and ducks. So I am into chickens and ducks by default, but they are really really cool. Fresh eggs from the back yard is the best! 
Non-animal related I like playing chess, reading/writing, and exercising.

I am into almost anything involving nature, outdoors, water, and growing things.  Bonsai and Fish keeping are are my longest running hobbies that I am regulary involved in.  Fish keeping is the only hobby that isn't seasonal, and allows me to put all of that into one package.
