I’m sorry to hear about your loss, first. I am sure Iowa offers something when you’re not traveling through it. Pretty hard to notice that singular flower from the train. ;) Iowa and Nebraska were neck and neck in my comparison, so it wouldn’t say much to go up one lol. Thanks for commenting!

Before I was 8 we lived in Indonesia, California &Minnesota. I mention this because I really struggled when we settled in Iowa… My brain had to develop a coping mechanism of REALLY appreciating & recognizing subtle beauty. A single tree on a hill, the way grass will sway about, the slight curve of a hill, fireflys flitting about under the nightly sunset theater. I have real affection and appreciation for my state, while also understanding when others… Do not. My way of seeing things would amuse my west coast cousins as I would point out a single flower to them “isn’t that gorgeous?” Those mountain&ocean-spoiled jerks didn’t realize I did what I had to do to survive, but self-brainwashing or not, I will say if I could reroute the train in Iowa, it *might* go up on your list… To second from last. :)
