Hosea 6:3

Let us acknowledge the Lord;

let us press on to acknowledge him.

As surely as the sun rises,

he will appear;

he will come to us like the winter rains,

like the spring rains that water the earth.”

Zechariah 10:1
“Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms.
He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.”

Beautiful smell of native daphne!

Isaiah 61:11

For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

The smell of fragrant wild freesias signals the start of spring.

Psalm 106:1
Praise the Lord.Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;

his love endures forever.
