Tree for Sale, House Included

In May of 2000, Beau and I were house looking in Mandeville, LA.   We came upon a house with this Live Oak Tree in the front yard.

 Now, the picture does not do this tree justice.  The trunk of this baby is at least 50 feet around and it reaches high in the sky.   As luck would have it, after we narrowed it to two, it was Beau's pick.

He picked the tree.   Luckily enough, the house came with it.   We lived here for 12 years and one month - mostly all good.   

But, we were ready for a move from the rural to a more city atmosphere and bought us a new house in Baton Rouge, putting this one up for sale.   

Now, this certainly isn't prime house buying time, and this house is still sitting over all along.   It dawned on me this morning .... perhaps I'm going about it all wrong.     Instead of selling the house, perhaps I need to sell the tree.
