Northern Flowers

"Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful."  ~Unknown 

"I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance."

~William Wordsworth, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud," 1804
