this blog is about transitions: urban to rural relocation, garden making, house renovating, cancer surviving and tenure getting. But mostly it is about being fully, imperfectly alive.

Minneapolis, Minnesota
We've just returned from a few days in Minneapolis with our friends Emily & Elizabeth. It was a fantastic getaway; we slept in, danced, sat by the fire, worked on a (very freakin' hard) puzzle, and ate delicious food. I am tired after a very full day of goodwill hunting ( they have an outlet!), co-op shopping, and hours upon hours of driving. Although I am now in my office (in pajamas) with a dog asleep at my feet, I still feel as though I am driving over the bumpy roads that are mid-Wisconsin highways.
I am a fortysomething queer woman living in Northern Wisconsin with my partner of 19 years. Since our move from Seattle in 2007 we have transformed our house, grown a big garden, grown a big community, survived cancer, and continued to work hard on living a life worth living. For my bread and butter I am an academic. I also write about that sometimes.
