Gardening, crochet work, and hiking with my two Weimaraner's.
During the summer months I enjoy hiking with my two Weimaraners, Odin and Gus. Odin is 2 years old and Gus is 6 moths. They are also very helpful in the garden, they enjoy sampling the green beans and eating the leafs off the cauliflower. My garden has been growing over the last couple years and this year has expanded to a bed of blueberries and a bed of garlic. When the weather is cold enough that playing outside is miserable I begin to crochet. I am not the best at this skill but I am progressively working on it.
