Separation Required

"separation required"

sunflower fences

appeasing the HOA

the natural way

I just posted the haiku below on my current thri-writing site. The prompt was "SEPARATE."

We had second visit from the HOA president's wife. She was inquiring as to our plans for fencing in our travel trailers. I have three on the property!

1. A delightful 1956 Jewel vintage trailer, almost ALL original that is in the backyard. It serves as my she shed although my son has chosen to sleep in it when visiting. It has a regular size comfy bed.

2, My recently acquired Aristream Bambi, 2003, 19' long and my dream mobile. It is the camping trailer I hope to use the rest of my life....downsized from a 30' travel trailer.

3. My vintage bookmobile, a Little Free Library travel trailer that we tow to the Kerrville Farmer's Market every Saturday. It is attractive inside and out with its MLF library plaque on the side.

According to the current HOA rules here in Bumblebee Hills subdivision, Ingram, TX., we are to have these trailers behind a 6' cedar fence approved by the architectural committee. 

When we purchased this home we were told that the HOA had been disbanded. We now have learned that "No, not disbanded, just unincorporated!" And what does that mean? Not sure, but some legal powers no longer are in place.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Our First Rally!

 

commonality among strangers?

the airstream rally? 

this isn't’ rocket science! 

making friends because?

(she muses)

This was my contribution today to Maya Stein"s tri-writing prompt, "use 'this isn't rocket science or magic' in your three line response." I omitted the magic phrase because I was attempting the 5-7-5 syllabic haiku form.

We are currently camped with a dozen or more Airstream travel trailers at a rally here in Fredericksburg, TX. This is our first outing since we bought and brought our 19' Bambi from Idaho in September.

The itinerary is flexible and so are we. Today we will eat with the group at the BBQ place we frequent since Fredericksburg is only 30 minutes from our home. Then tomorrow there is a planned Italian lunch with installation of officers and the rest of the day is ours to play as we desire. Home Sunday morning!

We are withholding our opinions of this kind of social gathering. RV rallys are very popular with all types of travel trailers and Airstreamers are very very active with get-togethers and caravans.

Time for more coffee before I take the dog to a very nice fenced in dog area. Yesterday Ava made friends and had a delightful romp. C;mon sunshine! Where are you?
