A little Pink lie

Okay,

this is my *Pink* lie....it's my (old) new pink bike...

I've been dropping hints to Mr. H.H.,  that I really want a pink bike...

however....

he reminds me that I already have a bike...

...a bike that I haven't ridden in 11 years...

...a bike that has been hanging from the garage ceiling for 11 years....

 ...dusty and grimy....

So when Mr. H.H. left for work today~

 he said, get the bike out of the garage, and you can get a new bike...

This is what the blue, ugly bike looked like this a.m.

as Mr. H.H. was leaving, I said...I'll just clean it up

and start using it...{the untruth part...a.k.a...the pink lie}

My motive was to spray paint it Pink...

and now I have a pink bike!

Only, it's a yard art~

It won't budge, the chain and gears are

sprayed tight - just what I wanted!

And truthfully, it's out of the garage!

I never cared for this bike,

it was uncomfortable to ride...

and I hated the color...that's why it hung upside down for 11 years

but now,
 I really, really like it ~ just where it is ~ outside!

The basket is a thrift store find I attached to the bike handles

with zip ties, before painting it.

~ accessories for the new basket~

as Mr. H.H. was leaving for work,

and I was cleaning the crud off the bike,

he said..."I think you need new tires"...

and I said..."oh, I'll make due with these"...

I sure hope he doesn't surprise me with new tires...

unless they're attached to this beauty!

This is my kind of a Pink bike...no lie!

Thanks for stopping by!
