What other hobbies do you have beside pets?

I have quite a few interests and they're pretty varied! I like being outdoors and doing things in nature - so hiking and bike riding I find enjoyable. I also like just going on walks with my dog too! I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, I challenged myself to try a new recipe each week this year so that I can build up my cooking repertoire and get some new meal ideas. I like to spend time with my family, I'm a new mom with an almost 4 month old daughter so she definitely keeps me on my toes. I like gardening and DIY projects around the house, so now that spring is here I'm out in the garden trying to beautify it as much as possible (it didn't get a lot of love over winter, sadly!!) and I also enjoy writing letters to my penpals - yes, I still have snail mail old fashioned penpals! I love getting letters and the whole process of writing mail seems to almost be a lost art nowadays with email and so forth...so I'm trying to keep that alive too!
