Pin All The Things

Week Four of nb23 brings me back to something I'd let fall by the wayside: my Pinterest account. I first started an account on Pinterest when it was all the rage; the new exciting social media platform that everyone at work was using. I first heard about it from my sister, and soon I was pinning up a storm. But I let my account activity slip away as time went on, which is too bad because Pinterest is very useful. I created a "Garden Wishes" board and have collected several interesting pins of things I would love to do in my garden. Some I will never be able to do in my small yard, but it's fun to dream! One thing I would like to try is a toad house. I like toads, and they're good for your garden. My only worry is that I'd make the little house, and then no toad would actually want to live in it! There are lots of pins on Pinterest with different ways to make one, some much fancier than others! I'm traveling to New York City in the spring, and followed two of New York Public Library's Pinterest boards (they have 31!). One I followed is called "NYPL Gifts", which is full of images of lovely things for book lovers, and the other is "Nature's Pride", which contains images from the NYPL digital collection. I will definitely be stopping into the New York Public Library, to see the famous lions and see their fantastic collection! Between a wonderful library and Central Park in bloom, I think I will have everything I need.
