I've been to a lot of places and each have their own uniqueness. England is amazingly green. I was only there a week but fell in love with both the North and the South (did I get that right?). The northern part of England is more industrial and the North Sea was beautiful along the coast. Kent and the White Cliffs of Dover are amazing. On the way back we flew over Ireland which is even greener.

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio. You get all four seasons there. Southern Ohio is beautiful along the river. Come fall, watching all the trees turn colors was fun.

I lived in San Antonio and Austin for a couple of years. If you even have a hint of snow, the entire city shuts down. No one knows how to drive in rain either. I love bluebonnets and miss them terribly. Winter really isn't "winter" as it only got down into the 40's. First year I was there I never even wore a coat and watched as everyone was bundled up like it was below zero. I miss the Hill Country of Austin as well. I DON'T miss fire ants. You can keep them down south. Nasty little creatures.

Southeast Nebraska is farmland. Miles and miles of it. It was culture shock to go from large cities to the middle of nowhere. You felt like you were being stalked by corn and soybeans. There aren't many trees out here and I miss that. You have to watch out for tractors along the highways come spring and fall and little old ladies in huge pickup trucks going 40mph on a 60mph road. You laugh when people complain about traffic and long lines here. Try sitting in rush hour traffic for two hours or more just to get 20 miles and then you can complain.

You get all four seasons here for sure. Winters can get pretty bad and the roads will shut down. Seeing all the snow is amazing until you get sick of it. It's been terribly hot this summer, above 100 degrees some days. You just watch your grass turn brown and not worry about it.

I love not living in a neighborhood Nazi organization. No one to tell you how high your grass can be or that you can't do this or that on your property. You don't have to have 6 foot high privacy fences either. I love this area more than I ever thought I would.
