Make your retirement years a time of relaxation and enjoyment. Gardening, a hobby that interests many retirees can be made even more interesting by planting by the phases of the moon.It seems to be an accepted fact that all elderly ladies knit. This is in fact not the case as many women were too busy to have the time to sit and knit when they were younger. It could be that you never had the opportunity to learn this craft, but now that you have the time and want to start a new hobby you will find knitting a very relaxing and fulfilling hobby.
