The trouble was it was an incredibly short autumn and winter then hit with the gusto of a pig at a freshly filled trough. The minus degree morning went on for weeks and I could have walked outside in the early morning and snapped the Aggie’s leaves in two. They were frozen solid.
Thankfully Aggies are a hardy plant and they survived and went on to produce a lovely display in spring, but other, more tender plants, succumb to the battering of the weather extremes. The excessive heat then cold took them off to plant heaven.
I know I am the same. I am not good with extremes or anything in excess. Life is much more pleasant and enjoyable when I have a good measure, rather than an overdose. Too much telly, too much food, too much housework (sorry just had to put that one in there) is not a good thing.
Unlike my plants however, I do have a little more control over the dosage size of things and I will remain ever watchful I don’t overindulge, overdo or under indulge and undo things. The only thing I want to overdose on is Jesus and that is the best thing!
God Bless
