I work as a dog groomer four days a week. Thursday-Sunday, by the time Monday rolls around, I am ready for another adventure! This photo is of the last hike my son and I took on the Pacific Crest Trail. We hiked 9 miles and gained 800 feet in elevation the first four. Where to go this time? The day we hiked this trail, the highs were only at 65 and that was only for a short time. Most of the day it was in the high 50's to low 60's. What do you like to do in your free time?

I have just recovered from a broken foot and ankle. I would just drive to a park and get out with a blanket and just enjoy the smells. It's all worth it.

@KimJohnson I think that is a great job. Do you have a place you go to do it or do you do it at home? On our Sabbath I read on the porch if it is nicer weather and if not inside then and on holidays I read too

Thank you Maria, I do too. The dogs prancing out, the owners smiles is the best part. Nothing like just chillaxing. I love just being a couch potato I take one day out a week to just do nothing..

I also really enjoy a good hike (or 'walk' as we would call it here!) along trails in my free time, when the weather permits. I don't really much enjoy walking in the rain, especially over rough terrain, but a cool temperature suits me for that kind of activity. That photo is really something

Walk hike, its all the same. I just think of walks to be under a mile, hikes over one mile. lol I don't get out in the inclement weather. Burr, and I don't like being wet and cold. Thank you Norman.

Those are different working days, I am used to working days not being on the weekend! But that sounds like a fun hike! A lot of walking, but that's good exercise My free time I usually like to chill and watch shows/work on my art.
