I’m working out, bench presses at the moment. Never thought I’d be staring at a beautiful orange hibiscus bloom while doing my reps.
How’s that, you ask? An orange hibiscus bloom hanging over your bench? Where are you working out, in a plant nursery?
Close, but no.
My garage is my gym. It’s 40 degrees at 4:00 p.m. in Austin Texas with a bitter north wind that makes you think you’re in Chicago. Tonight’s low is forecast to dip to around 19 degrees. I moved all of my potted plants into the garage. I have to protect them from the hard freeze.
Maybe that’s all my garage gym ever needed was some plant life to bring it some cheer and make my workouts more enjoyable. Then again, maybe not. The garage makes for one ugly gym.
