Rosslyn Redux
Reawakening home (and revitalizing ourselves!)
Welcome to Rosslyn, an historic home, boathouse, carriage barn, and icehouse on the Adirondack Coast of Lake Champlain. This is my scrapbook chronicle of reawakening and revitalization — the comprehensive historic rehabilitation of our new home while concurrently reimagining ourselves (Susan and Geo) — in pursuit of a new adventure. Steeped in sensuous seasonality and the poetry of place, Rosslyn Redux is a meandering meditation on “homeness” (i.e. what makes a house a home), heritage, and creative risk. Pull up an Adirondack chair or flop into a hammock, and jumpstart your journey with “Wanderlust to Houselust“, “Archeology of Home“, “Rehab ad Infinitum“, “Redacting Rosslyn“, and “Houselust to Wonderlust“. Or dive into one of these recent posts below!
