Taking a Few Days Off

Trying to Prepare and Get Ready

002

I’m going to take a couple of days off and do some work to get ready for Hurricane Irene….she is supposed to come our way although I am staying in prayer that she won’t.

001 

Aren’t these roses lovely? They are the most delicate shade of peachy pink. I took the picture during the late evening hours and the color doesn’t show as well. So far, they are my most fragrant roses this summer.

Take good care and I’ll see you soon.

  4. It is best to be ready for sure. For several years one of my sons lived where hurricanes became a part of his life and I do know what that is like. I'll be praying for you and all those that might be affected by that hurricane. Dear Lord, calm the storm. Take good care.

  5. Oh dear, I haven't been keeping up with the weather news and was unaware of the hurricane. It is that time of year again, isn't it? I hope it misses you and God will keep you safe.
    Blessings~

  7. The roses are beautiful! Praying for you all down there. We'll be visiting our daughter in late September and hoping for good weather then too. Hope the storm doesn't materialize into a raging one!

  11. Barb - me too. I just posted a similiar post. Where are you at? I'm in Eastern NC. About an hour from Wilmington. Praying this thing turns out to sea and no one has to take the brunt. Thinking of you. Blessings, Barb

  12. Oooo! God protect you and yours! I was living at ground zero in Charleston, SC during Hurricane Hugo some twenty odd years ago. Seems like yesterday - don't ever want to go through that again! Bless you!
    Joy!

  13. Let's hope Irene heads out to sea! I love peachy pink roses. They remind me of sherbert push ups and how the colors merge. Like a melted sunset!

  16. Beautiful roses, Barb! And it looks like Irene's going far enough east of us to not be a problem...

  17. Maybe Irene is just full of wind and will die down faster than the wind it took her to blow up....I have family in Florida and a cousin in North Carolina..and we are on the East Coast so she is being watched by me..Hope you escape any harm that this lady brings...prayers for all.

  18. I hope she stands you up! And how does one get ready for a hurricane? Seriously, prayers for you.
