Cottages and Houses in the Pennsy Countryside

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

Not far from my brother's house in Quakertown, PA, I found this quaint little cottage nestled under big trees. This happened in September, when everything was still lush. The cottage looks ideal (if you mentally delete the telephone wire). But it sort of reminds me of the gingerbread house Hansel and Gretel stumbled upon, took a bite of, and suffered the consequences. 


It seems idyllic...

Hidden by the garden.



Remember those warmer days?

These homeowners really did a nice job on their garden.

A close-up view.

This grand old house is in Richlandtown, a few miles from my brothers'.

Another home that captures, for me, the look of a Pennsylvania house.
