Entry #4
Cat-sitting!
I love this hobby because it's really stress relieving.
When my neighbors are on vacation, I babysit their cats and it's so fun.
This hobby is part of my income but I'd volunteer to do it anyway!
This is one of the cats I babysit, Thomas Henry:

(He isn't the most calmest cat, so taking clear pictures of him was a bit tough. Sorry about the quality!)

My latest hobby is making hook rugs. This keeps my hands busy and my mind at ease.

I call these my pandemic pieces. I've lost too many friends to the virus.

Fishing... thus was my biggest catch this year and ever I think.. a Chain Pickrel.. ignore the stupid face my daughter took that

My hobby is budgie breeding
What is it that you love about this hobby? All the colors they come in
When do you do the Hobby? Spring and summer
What sacrifices do you make to be able to practice your hobby? My health as I'm servely allergic to the dust
Are you an amateur? An adept? An expert? Id say I am an expert at it been breeding since 2009
Are you lucky enough that this hobby is part of your job/income? Sorta I also take videos and post them to youtube and have 50k subscribers and get paid with google adsence just enough to buy more feed. I sometimes will sell some but I only breed for my own generation line these days. Heres one of my current budgies

This is Betsy, my 57 Chevy. I got her in 1977 when I was 15 1/2. Couldn't drive yet so sat in her in the back yard and cleaned her up and pretended to drive. I would love to do more work on her but it is expensive and hard to find someone to work on these old cars anymore.

So nice that you had her for all these years! Is there an old car club in your area, or car shows? You would find lots of knowledgeable people to help you with Betsy.

 

[Zen Wildlife Rescuer]

I thought this might be fun to share! My “hobby” is more like a lifestyle lol. I have been doing wildlife rescue for 8+ years here in South Africa. I love that I never know what bird or animal will end up with me to recover before being rehabilitated and sent out. I also love the amazing people who share my passion that I get to meet all over the world. Here are just a few of the many, many animals that have come through our doors:

I like to bake and cook! I do it whenever I’m hungry and it’s time to eat. It’s a daily requirement for food so I don’t call it a sacrifice. The only sacrifices that are made is if I’m trying out a new recipe and it doesn’t work out, or I burn something… get it? Sacrifice? Burnt food? I wouldn’t call myself an expert… but I’m not a newbie, my mom made sure she taught her girls to cook. I still learn new things but I like to learn.

This was my first time making candied sweet potatoes! I love sweet potatoes.

Not my first pumpkin pie but the first ones of 2021.

Homemade biscuits!

My first try at boule.

A red velvet cream cheese frosting cake I made for a couple’s anniversary in our church.

And fried venison, a delicacy here in the south.
