With this unseasonably warm weather, it's been so tempting to plant flowers. Yet, I constantly remind myself that it's still March and we could have cold weather again. We've had measureable snow in April and even snow flurries on Derby Day! So, I wait....
One day a burst of spring fever hit so I created a Pinterest board called "Easter (and Spring)" just to collect ideas. One of the first things I found was a suggestion for DIY bouquets as cute as those you'd find at your florist.
Here are some of the other fun "gardening" ideas I collected, all with a spring party in mind.
Host a Planting Party-Gather with fellow green thumbs to celebrate the
season’s budding greenery and jumpstart spring gardening. The link on the board has a free seed pack invitation to download and print. They can even double as favors!
I love, love, love this "Fresh Herb Wreaths" You tie garden-fresh herbs to wire
wreath forms for seriously darling decorations, favors and hostess
gifts. Use herbs you love, or try seasonal
favorites like lavender, dill, tarragon, parsley and mint.
Here's a fun idea for kids. They can create "Seedling Planter Eggs." After cleaning out your eggs, remove the top half
of each egg and fill it with soil. Purchase tiny flowers or seedlings
from a local nursery, and plant them in your creative shelled
containers.
Maybe this will be enough to get your green thumb in shape, ready for spring!
Pinterest Treasures
Oh, the treasures I've found! Some boards are for practical shopping and idea organizers, others are ideas I'd like to do myself, "someday," and then there are those inspirational treasures that I'll only dream about. Each week, I'll share something from my boards that I found especially interesting.

Inspirational Writing Spots
For my first share, I'm sharing two of my favorite places from the "My
Kentucky" board. I enjoy them year-round and find inspiration to write
when sitting alone along the river (away from this photo) or along the
creek at Cherokee Park.
This is Cherokee Park, which is about 2-3 miles from our house. It has
miles of bike trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, a golf course, soccer
fields, tennis, and scenic drives.

This is part of the walkway at the beautiful Ohio River Waterfront. It goes on for miles. There are several playgrounds, sports areas, a couple of water fountain play places, and all of the area used for the many festivals and fun times downtown. Just around the bend near the bridge is where the steamboat, "The Belle of Louisville" docks between trips up and down the river. Just around the corner below this shot, there's a "porch swing" that Keith and I sit on when we walked in the area. It's about a mile from our house. If you cross the bridge, you're in Indiana.

The places where I write are not this public, but still close. One spot is at the boat dock at the Eva "something with a B" park off Zorn Ave. When I lived in Oldham Co. my favorite spot was somewhere between Westport and Goshen.
