Berlin Guide: Insel der Jugend
We’ve been trying to make a habit of spending more time on the water, especially on the few days when it actually feels like summer in Berlin. When we walked over the high footbridge from Treptower Park onto Insel der Jugend, it was a warm Sunday and there were people everywhere, including on the water. … Read More
Field Report 031: Favorites
We had a conversation about fields the other day because hey I’m still roaming these parts that I grew up in and in these parts fields are everywhere. The conversation got me thinking about a lot of things pertaining to fields and open spaces and what’s on the other side of open spaces and how … Read More
Field Report 028: Usedom
A weekend on the German island of Usedom.
Nicollet Island in the spring.
Nicollet Island. Minneapolis, Minnesota. I can’t catch a break with the weather in any of my recent locations. Unfortunately, Minneapolis has been no exception; it is gray, cold and rainy here.

Flowers on Amrum
I was really delighted by all of the flowers on Amrum. And so happylucky that many of the Lilac and Azalea bushes were still in full bloom; I don’t know that I have ever gotten to enjoy two rounds of those fleeting beauties in one year. Bonus! But wait—there’s more! Lupines. Lupines everywhere!
Amrum | Reservations by Postcard
Imagine my consternation when, in order to reserve a room on the island of Amrum, we were asked to mail our hostess a postcard with the dates of our trip. On one hand it seemed unnervingly lo-tech and yet on the other hand it was rather charming in its eccentricity. And so we sent off … Read More
Nicollet Island
Nicollet Island is a small island in the Mississippi River. 50 acres in size with a population of about 150 people, it sounds like a small town and it feels like a small town. Quiet streets, gardens, little houses and paths that wind through tall grass make it hard to remember that just outside the tree … Read More
