SPRING BEAUTIES

Spring may come late to Northern Wisconsin but is a treat once it arrives. The natural setting of Cottage Glen is home to many wildflowers and happy bulbs and flowering trees in homeowner's gardens.
Residents planted daffodils to welcome all.

Path through the woods in early spring. Lots of light.
