Spring Garden and Stitchalong

My daffodils out the side door are always early to bloom. They have a mostly sunny, eastern exposure beside a brick wall which absorbs then radiates heat. They're almost under the warm air vent from the dryer.


The daffodils in the front yard are in the shade so don't get the sun's warmth. We had a couple of inches of snow two nights ago and because it's not been above freezing, the snow hasn't  melted. The rabbit(s) have already nibbled on the tulips on the front right as can be seen with one ragged, bent-over leaf.

 
I've been binge-watching 'ER' on Netflix; I've watched 32 episodes (25 from Season 1 and 7 so far from Season 2). Only 299 (!) episodes to go. The show ran for 15 seasons with most seasons having 22 episodes.

With my nifty new 5.0 magnifying glasses I've been able to stitch in the evenings while seated comfortably on the sofa whilst watching TV. Part 3 of my Spring Garden Biscornu arrived in my mailbox today. I finished all of Parts 1 and 2 last night.
Part 3 is almost exactly the same as Part 1, just rotated clockwise 90°. I'm using colonial knots and since I'm stitching on a light green fabric, am using Blanc for the bee's wings. I'm curious to find out of there will be a beehive on every corner... stay tuned.
