Sale of the Oak Tree House
The time had come for the sale of the Oak Tree house and the storage bins that I have been keeping in the attic had to be looked at. This means that I must need go through these several bins and down size my belongings once again. I arrived in November of this year and ultimately reduced the number of bins from ten to four, selling many of my things in several garage sales and giving much of it to charities.
Susan also sold many of her possessions at the same garage sales and we spent many hours in her garage waiting to the items to leave with those who came by. After the sales, I helped Susan with the cleanup and fix up of the home, of which I hung around for several weeks during this effort.
Susan asked me about what we could do in the back yard to cover a spot that did not have any grass where the dogs had compacted the ground. I looked around the yard at the potential materials to find a lot of good size rocks and told here that these would do for the border, that we just needed the plants, dirt and bark mulch.
We had already used some of the bark mulch to brighten up the gardens in the front yard, so she asked me to build a flower garden in the back yard to match. So, together, we went to the local garden-marts to buy some flowering bushes, top soil and bark mulch.

Once the gardening was all complete, the real estate agent came by to take photos. Then, their move to Wimberley took place as planned and the home sold very quickly.
Thus ends another location that has been used as a respite by this wayfarer.
