Dances with the Daffodils

The roadside wild flowers abound in Door County! Thanks to the price of gasoline and the budgetary constraints in local and county governments we have been given a treat of a lifetime. As William Wordsworth wrote in his poem, "The Daffodils", we are given the pleasure of viewing myriad daffodils, columbine, daises, forget me nots, lady slippers, and numerous other roadside wild flowers that are normally guillotined by the Door County Road maintenance department. This year their premature deaths have at least been delayed by budget limits. Be it so every year so that the joys of spring, summer, and fall can become an annual event as we drive along the interior roads of Door County and view the wildflowers dancing.
