...roses before the storm

the weatherchannel has rain & strong wind warnings out...
for this area from late this evening into & through tomorrow...
it may all fizzle out & be nothing...
but it is getting quite cloudy outside...

and the barometric pressure is dropping...
not to mention the rain now coming onshore...
north of the Bay Area...

oh, & the outside temperature has dropped 3˚...
in the last 15 minutes...

so now I'm glad I took a few minutes to take these shots...
this morning around noon, before going down to the church...

of the lemon tree in it's fragrant blooming frenzy...
and the roses in their maturing beauty, with thankfulness...
for all the rain & sunshine which caused this early bounty...
because the coming storm will wipe away much of it...













the Lord giveth & the Lord taketh away...
Blessed be the name of the Lord...
