This is just to show off other things we do.. our flock is our life...but I have other things I do... I'm a musician...here's a practice clip..I look like hell in it so cover your eyes... lol

I'm practicing over a CD. Only the second or third time I played the song...

I also build cars and race from tine to time...though its been a while....

But the flock is how I relax and enjoy life :).. how about you???

What! We do OTHER things? Hahahaha!!!

Just kidding. On top of being a busy mother of 3, and a school bus driver...I have horses I ride, I dabble in art (see some of my art in my profile page) I hike, camp, love to read, write, cross stitch and sculpt with clay :)

Nice string work there, 94lt :D Thanks for sharing that.
...AND you race cars? Now that ought to be an adrenaline "fix", hey? Then come home and have the flock relax you. :)

My other passions are my 2 dogs (American Bulldog + AMBull Pit Mix) and organic gardening, especially my roses. So right now I'm a bit miserable because all vegetation outside is dormant.

I also love my orchids.

I was a carpenter for many years and am finally building up my tool collection again, I plan on starting to build some furniture in the spring hopefully. AFTER I fix the walls in the house the GW's tore up. :rolleyes:

Also love photography as well, used to take 100's of pics of boat racing events. Actually sold some of those back when I was doing it. :)

When i'm not working (which is too much lately), I also have an "on again/off again" relationship with my acoustic guitars. When I made time for it, I very much enjoyed writing poetry.
In all honesty, anymore my favorite pastime is spending time with my furry and feathered kids. I always wanted to be a parent to a human but that didn't happen and my non-human kids reap the benefit of this!

BTW JerseyWendy, your flowers are absolutely AMAZING. I need your help in my yard! Wow. I know so very little about gardening.

Aside from the birds I have 3 cats I have to care for (they're surrounding me now on the couch and they both smell of fish... another reason I love the birds) I work full time and go to school full time so I rarely have free time.

I enjoy reading quite a bit. The birds get angry if I read while they're with me. They'll attempt to eat the pages if I'm reading a traditional book and if I'm reading on my Nook or iPhone I have to hold it waaaaay up high so they can't bite it. I like to go to the movies, I like watching movies at home, and I lose a lot of time on Netflix watching old TV shows.

We have a house full of other critters, guinea pigs, gerbils, a rat, a hamster, gerbils, turtles, leopard geckos, degus, goldfish and koi

I do a little quilting once in awhile. I play with my horses when I'm in NY. I should actually learn to play my bass guitars (I only have 6 of them)

My Grey hates my laptop... he tries to take it apart if he gets on it and he get nippy if I'm on it or try to get him off it

A surprisingly short list
-Reading, if I'm not at school or on PF, I'm reading. I only use the internet for PF, and, honestly, I think it's a been months since I've watched TV.
-Making earrings and necklaces, but usually it's with feathers. :p I'm still figuring it out.
-I'm really good at writing, BUT I'd rather read! :D
-I can't think of anything else! ;)

Not bad going 941t1, I actually enjoyed it.
I travelled the S.A. Formula One Racing circuit with my brother for a year, enjoyed it so much.

Want to laugh....
I used to play the electric guitar and keyboard in our church choir for 7 years.
After my hand injury, I stopped playing them, stayed on with the choir for 2 more years and sang.
I often play the keyboard, I know my guitar misses me LoL
I love photpgraphy, taking pic's of Mishka
Spend hours on Photo Shop, have loads of fun
I enjoy reading, anything and everything.
