Huntingdon, PA: another project!

Marina and Alan work together to renovate a little house in central Pennsylvania, in Huntingdon, south of State College.

Cyane's sister, Marina, has owned the house since about 1994.
We made friends at the Huntingdon Health and Wellness Center.
Marina is second from left, Cyane is third from left.
The house is right next to the Huntingdon cemetary.

Siegfriedale Farmhouse; Kutztown, PA

We have lived in, worked on, and loved this old farmhouse for (most of) 18 years.



It is right next to Rodale Institute, seen in the distance from the herb garden.
We will slip out into the night and the next adventure...

Visit from Kay and Charles to Kutztown House

We were happy to have a visit from Charles and Kay, with their dog Oreo to our long-time home in Kutztown, PA. Since the house was about to sell, this was one of the last visits we would have there. Charles had just purchased a fancy black Porsche sports car...

Oreo the dog wanted to get down to the important business - finding sticks and chewing them up!
The grown-ups discussed politics, the financial situation, and the world - which Charles knows a lot about.

We liked this cottage on Long Pond near Cabot.

American Main Street (in Montpelier) has a certain lonliness...

Hope Cemetary; Barre, Vermont

Sheafe Satterthwaite, Professor Extraordinaire

Cyane was lucky to have a class with Sheafe Satterthwaite on Landscape History. Many years later, Sheafe is still teaching, still learning, still reading, and putting together many different fields of study. Here, Sheafe is explaining early Dutch construction techniques in upstate New York houses.


The library of a true scholar!
Sheafe has meticulously restored his house.
