Stitches and Flowers

Not flowers that I received because I got stitches.  Rather, flowers that Tap and I saw in the neighborhood today:

 The house where these are also has a bright yellow front door.  Very Springish on this 70-degree February day.

And, the stitches:

You can see the bruising stretching down toward the lower left corner of the photo.  Everything's still a little tender, which is still surprising.  I'm going to keep the stitches covered, as those little ends look like they're on the prowl for something to snag on.
