My wife likes to garden. We use everything from th garden. And she's really smart about it too. We live in the city, so I call it a Herban Garden.
She's one hell of a cook, too.
She cross-stiches, quilts, sews, crafts(makes centerpieces and bouquets for weddings), is learning to play bass guitar and loves World of Warcraft.
Honestly, I go to Hobby Lobby more often to pick up stuff for her, not me! She also has her own set of tools and is restoring her 1973 VW Super Beetle, which I get to supervise.
And she collects Barbie's. I'm talking the limited edition, dammit-that's-expensive-for-a-doll, Barbies.
Then, compared to my hobbies, (3 cars to mod and maintain, record in my studio, and play goalie in ice hockey) I think we're on even ground.
