Have you ever visited a place and had a negative impression that you later thought better of?

The same can be said of corn, as well as the personalities of those unfortunates lacking the urge to flee. Buffet persists, but probably because of the 5 minute escape across the Missouri river. I probably should not deride the state of my youth, but it’s difficult to find any recommendation for the place if you’re between the ages of 12 and 85.

Everywhere. It takes me a while to get used to a place.

I lived in SanAntonio 2 different times for 6 months each and hated it. Then I moved back and stayed for a full year and grew to love the place. I can’t explain why. Perhaps the good friends that I met and the fun times I had with them is a big part of it.

Second hand item stalls in flea markets and antique shops as well as bazaars selling used stuff. Although one finds interesting and beautiful things there, I can’t help thinkng of the stories behind them, the people who owned them, the pride they had in them before they died and the stuff was handed down to others. Same goes for auctions and other such places. There is always history behind everything, let alone a personal story or drama.

Denmark, I kinda like mermaids.

Some of us, me included, see farmland as beautiful and productive. Some of us, me included, like wide open spaces. There is an area in Nebraska that a lot of people don’t know about, it is a region called the Sandhhills, it has rolling hills with native tall grasses, rivers, brooks, streams, lakes and even waterfalls. Besides that it is always interesting to see who the next Nebraska football coach will be.

My house overlooks a field that alternates between corn and soy, @prairierose, and I find the view delightful.

@ibstubro In the state where I live, there is a lot of farmland and I love the wide open feel, not to mention in the spring and summer, there is beauty in the different shades of green in the crops.

Yes, @prairierose, I was astounded at the shades of blue in the Pacific Ocean, as seen from Hawaii. One day I realized that the Midwest has the same bounty in green.

:-)

@ibstubro Yes and people who do not experience the beauty of the green crops may not know what they are missing IMO

I also live in the bluff of the Mississippi River, @prairierose, and, as a native Midwesterner, I have to make myself take note of the variety in the shade of green a simple forest holds. People rightly make over the ‘fall’ colors but, if someone takes the time to look closely, the shades of green are nearly as breathtaking.

I have never farmed, but I’ve been known to stop and get out to examine exactly what is being grown in a field.

@ibstubro Oh I forgot to mention that we even have green crops here during the winter. The winter wheat color of green is spectacular!
