Muddled thoughts. Lists, multiple lists. Too much to do. Have you ever had a jumbled thought process where putting it down, on paper or computer, just will not happen?

My garden beds need much work but right now little peeks of abundance to come had me clearing my mind.
Just look at this dear little Alium. A member of the onion family, I planted these bulbs about 15 years ago and faithfully, every Spring, they return to bring color to this garden space. This bloom reminds me of a craft/sewing project in the Vintage Notions Book by Amy Barickman.In the April installment, an article from April 1927 predicted a fashion trend that was a must have for the fashion conscious lady of the day.
Made of chiffon, Georgette, triple voile, or mouselline de soie this chrysanthemum can be made from 1/2 to 3/4 yard of 40 inch fabric. In this post Casey of Elegante Musings made the flower as described in the book. It is really cute. Her review of the book here. Vintage yet modern at the same time. Tomorrow I am going to stop at Joann's and pick up some fabric to try this one.
The garden walk did help me sort out some thoughts but I also needed to add a few more things to the list. This rhododendron is about
30 years old, and stunning every year.
The list additions:
