Inside the Rizzolino Family’s Cozy DIY Escape

If the sun is out and the weather is pleasant, odds are good that Cindy and Pat Rizzolino are in the backyard of their Bushkill Township home. They might be engrossed in the usual rigors of landscape maintenance—mowing, watering, raking, pruning and the like. Or perhaps they’re planning a new addition (another “love shack”?) to freshen up the space. Maybe they’re relaxing in one of the nooks that’s already there, like the pavilion they’ve nicknamed the pool house. The possibilities, it seems, are endless within the boundaries of this verdant sanctuary that has been an ever-changing, ever-evolving work in progress for the Rizzolinos over the past two decades.
