Dabbling in a modern homesteading lifestyle with our fifteen, or or so, country acres in the woods. Trying to be as self-sufficient as much as is possible with what we can grow/forage/gather/hunt on our own land, an aspiration and hobby but certainly not a 100% success. Made about 11-gallons of cider thus far of apple cider over the weekend from our orchard. Lots of gardening/canning/blanching/freezing veggies for winter. Wife's tried making breads, wide variety of cheeses, beers, wines, meed, and pretty much anything we can make ourselves.

I have a side business which I love. I cater meatballs with sauce. I also babysit the K-9 bomb dogs when their handlers go on vacation.

I am always busy doing stuff around the house. Either planting, fixing something, cooking, having visitors, designing/decorating, tending to the yard... I also like to play racket sports, swim and hike. I surround myself with my pets and I tend to try restaurants/bars and shop quite a bit. I want a new hobby too.

I lead hikes on the weekends with a Meetup group. Meetup has a ton of different types of groups if you're looking to be more social or make new friends. I also like running, backpacking, baking, cooking, reading and my favorite activity: spending time with the love of my life -- my cat. smile

I'm a gardener haha, and plant native plants that support birds, bees, butterflies, snakes and all kinds of living creatures in my small yard. I converted our lawn from irrigated to non-irrigated by planting a mix of native groundcover and drought tolerant grass. Old fashioned roses and bamboo are favorites too. I used to plant food plants but the last 2 years climate in Florida has been so hot it made that very difficult so I grow herbs in pots, lots of different basils to cook with.

Cooking is also a hobby but took a back burner lol due to my other avocation, painting. I've painted for 30+ years and had my first solo show this past January. Art is meditation for me, turns off the world's noise. I also learned woodworking to make my art pieces, self-taught chop saw, table saw and router. Love power tools.

Congrats on the solo show! Graduated art college years ago but seldom paint now (intensity of art 24/7 burned me out I think).

I trade financial markets. But I could not recommend it. There is high probability that something will go wrong. UC is stressful enough itself.

You guys have some really great hobbies! I wish I had time for something but with two kids in a zillion activities, my husband and I are swamped driving them around these days. I do love to bake and garden (seasonally for each) but I don't have much extra time between work and kid stuff. I do run and practice yoga when I can sneak it into my schedule and I walk to work every day so that I get some exercise in.

That's my girlfriend almost to a 'T'. She grows our own food plants, allows bamboo and a wide variety of native plants to flourish, and has a huge butterfly garden full of bees and butterflies. When a hurricane knocked down two huge trees she chose to allow them to remain in place. All I see is an uninhabitable wilderness full of ticks, snakes, and mosquitoes. (But that might be because my father had me pulling weeds since I was 5 years old and that drove out any love of gardening from me).

She isn't into painting but she won a scholarship to The Juilliard School of music and plays a variety of musical instruments. I never even had piano lessons.

When we first met I thought she was good-looking and hoped for mass production sex before she realized that we had nothing in common. That was 19 years ago and we are still together.

BTW in case any of you also have a butterfly garden, these tick control tubes seem to really work with minimal disturbance to the environment.

I read, watch too many tv series. I used to have handmade jewelry shop on etsy. I’m trying to get into paper art (bought supplies XD) I try to paint sometimes. I used to be into photography. Most my hobbies involve me sitting and I already sit 8hrs/day for work so it’s been meh with things I like to do. I try cooking new things on the weekend. I really want to try my hand at ceramics.

Lots of great ideas!

I’ve bought some paint. I’m enjoying playing. I bought a bunch of fancy frames. Anything looks better framed. My hallway will be a gallery.

I'm not sure if you mean something you can do from home (e.g. while in a flare) or just in general. If you are able to be away from a bathroom and whatnot, check around to see what your local activity center/gyms have available in terms of classes - you'd be surprised what they have nowadays. There is a community center where I live that offers "Water Zumba."

If you are talking more about gentle, flare-friendly activities, I like knitting. There are super comprehensive free "classes" on youtube now so it can be a low-investment activity (both financially and in terms of energy).

I'm a classical history buff so I love reading anything about the ancient world, whether it's stories of the literal events of the time, or the arts and culture of that time. Lately I have been learning about ancient astrology in the Hellenistic era, and how they used planetary and star patterns to determine major events like crop planting/harvesting, political events, festivals, and all the major things life revolved around. I'm not an astrologer and I don't follow modern astrology, I'm more interested in how the ancient Greeks tied their deity worship into a mathematical system that could be used to plan important societal events.

Anyway, that's the topic I'm on right now. I love nerding out on history... I watch documentaries and read books endlessly. It's one of the only "plus sides" of being home bound in a flare, is I can do lots of interesting reading. But I just want to say!... screw you UC! I am still giving you ZERO credit here. There is no real silver lining!

I have always been a reader. Recently, I started knitting, on a kind of a fluke, and now a lot of the time I listen to audiobooks while I knit. I read (or listen to) approximately 150 pages a day.

I also have a suite of about 18 solitaire games on my kindle fire for time spent in the bathroom. My cats keep me company there, too.
