Hmmmmmmm Nebraska
I lived there (at first unwillingly) for about 3 years.
Its hot and humid in the summer, and cold and snowy in the winter, and yes, the landscape is largely farmland and rather monotonous vistas through most of the state….((at least if you only stick to the Interstate- note Stingray’s post above—you have to get off I80 once in awhile!))
THAT said, I know that there is a charm to, say parts of Omaha, and that people can find or create beauty anywhere that they want to.
A lot of the people from this busy, hardworking part of the heartland are worth getting to know. There is a pulse of faith and decency and WHOLESOMENESS that is at once refreshing and heartwarming.
Those hot, humid summers produce lush green lawns and golf courses, and bushels of fresh corn and vegetables.
The bitter winters have clear cold blue days that are positively dazzling.
Home is what you make it. Beauty is where you find it.
