@SoulfullyAButterfly Helping animals that others deemed unsuitable for adoption or rehabilitation βœŒοΈπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸΎπŸ¦˜πŸŒ„πŸΆ gardening and watching / being with nature all around us.. well; most of it, not so much the poison or venomous ones or the fires we had over 14months..

so very lucky to have large area to help puppies, plant whatever wanted and can help the animals.. let alone daily able to observe the beautiful world around this area on our little mountain β›°

May I also say, how great to see some people’s screen names commenting here that chatted with over the last few weeks.. it is a place now I look forward to logging onto :) thank you all for that.. been many years from wanting to talk to people.. cheers my new mates πŸ‘ (used for gals & guys true friends nickname downunder )

I'm an Aspie so my hobbies aren't as grown up as most people here, but.... :

I like Trading Card games because I like creative building and strategy. I get more enjoyment out of "brewing" (that is, coming up with new ideas and concepts) than actually playing the games. I like to "tinker" with it and keep changing things relentlessly, or try new ideas.

I also like number puzzles, like picross, as long as there's no timer rewards, so it's very calming and relaxing to me.

Lastly I would mention what comes and goes for me as a hobbie, is Anime and anime-like games. When I was a kid it was almost an addiction and that's all I watched/did. But now, I have a balance where I rotate between stand up, dramas, and food shows, in equal parts to my anime enjoyment.

Such an adorable hat purplelady568... not something within my repertoire, but I do enjoy seeing all the things that can be created in such a way as this. When I was a kid, my mom taught me to cross stitch (the basics of course lol), and now she is teaching me quilting... but it takes a lot of talent and patience to create in the manner in which you create.

@SerenitysFire thank you so much for your kind words! I love seeing all the different ways that people can create things, too! What was the last crosstitch you did?

Crocheting is a new hobby of mine but I'm learning quickly and love it. I found that it's also great for self-care! I don't have a picture but here's a cute gif.

I've been getting more into Kindle book reading too. I read a 3 part series by D. A. Roberts about a sea monster and stranded sailors. I like my monster stories...lol. Well, it is the season now. 😜

@EmbStitcher33 yes, fiction is fun! I have been reading mystery crime novels, which also seem to fit the spooky season.
