On Sunday, I visited the arts and crafts show in the village of Old Mesilla, which is just outside of Las Cruces.
I saw my first daffodils of the year. Spring approaches. Blades of joy there.

In a long-ago March, in my rooted life, stoic daffodils bore a mantle of snow in Missouri:

To reap the joy of daffodils, someone must plant the bulbs the year before, in the faith that beauty will come.
