Another thing to do when the garden is covered with snow (or not, this being the DC area) is to read. I just finished "The Ominvore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. There is lots of interesting stuff in it about our food supply. Strongly recommended for people interested in what they eat.
This, about why people choose hobbies, is pretty good:
"You can probably tell a lot about a person by his choice of atavism: whether he's drawn to the patient and solitary attenditveness of fishing, the strict mathematical syntax of building, the emotional drama of the hunt, or the mostly comic dialog with other species that unfolds in the garden."
"Mostly comic." Sounds a lot like my garden. And the joke is usually on me.
