Spring has come and the song of bush warblers echoes round

the prayer house.

The water in the mountain stream has the warmth of spring.

We have planted vegetables and flowers; Japanese horseradish,

Japanese honewort, violets, miyakowasure, hozuki.

Nature rejoices now that spring is here. Praise the Lord !!

The tulips we planted last year have started to bloom.

There are tulips on the window ledges, too.

The Lord gave us this prayer house.

And we praise the truth of the Lord. How happy we are !!

Cars passing by slow down as the drivers look at

Prayer House of the Water Brooks.

Butterburs have started to sprout.

We must get down to preserve them in soy sauce.

The soft early buds of tansies are also appearing.

Let's make tansy cakes.

We praise the Lord of Resurrection, as we enjoy His brilliant spring.
