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.

small things
Buddy and I took an afternoon constitutional about the yard and woods. It really feels like the end of summer and beginning of fall. The woods are *finally* tolerable again after a summer of mosquito-infestation. And, lo and behold, our much-coveted mums are just beginning to bloom.
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.
