I do have a fenced in yard, but I have four passions in life: my dog, quilting, reading and my garden.
My dog is my TOP priority (i'm not married, have no kids!) She keeps me in shape, and makes sure I get all the fresh air and exercise I need. I got a working line and trained her in search and rescue (for fun - now I can get a couple of my friends to come hiking with me, they hide, and then she has to go find them), urban agility, frisbee, and a made up agility course that I set up in my backyard - which includes tunnels, a teeter totter, tires, and her jumping my 6-foot fence LOL (thankfully, she only does that on command!)
I took a podometer for both of us once, and while I had walked just over 10,000 steps, she had walked / ran well over 32,000 LOL ... so we definitely both got our exercise that day!
Thanks for the comments on the batiks ... Now I'm going to do the rest of the borders so I can sew it all together.
