Tazcat - those photos are beautiful and, as Dorothy discovered, happiness is not found over the rainbow, it's found in your own backyard.

KANSAS!!!The photos are great! Thank you for the update on the Wizard as I have found he doesn't Twitter, have MySpace or Facebook accounts and is unlisted in the Yellow Pages. I am patient but 2095 stretches even that.
Ruth read an article where a farm planted fields of lavender and people came (actually paid) to sit in the fields. Apparently, lavender does something beneficial to your sense of wellbeing, harmony or feels good on your backside, not sure. Come to think of it, I would feel one with Nature if people paid to sit in our pastures. PS... sitters have to leave or help out when the sun goes down.

Thanks! When out there, with the warm wind blowing, it is just amazing! You really feel serene. BTW you may want to plan your visits soon, with the wind farms popping up all over the place it might be a little harder to see a semi-natural state. However, the wind farms are pretty impressive too.
Hmmm, Katy maybe you should try to talk Bob into a lavender field.
It is amazing what people will "buy," you just have to find your niche. Once you do everything will just fall into place.
You could probably find people who would pay you to let them come out and work on the farm, you would probably have to feed them, and give them a place to sleep, but it might even out, you may even make a small profit!

I would recommend Lucas Kansas, home to The Garden of Eden, were you will not only be able to check out the interesting art from a large number of grassroots artists, but you will also get to gaze at the body of Samuel Perry Dinsmoor, creator of the Garden of Eden, enshrined behind glass under a limestone pyramid he built himself.
Here a couple photos I took there last year one my annual pilgrimage.
Lucas has other attractions as well, like a traveling museum called The World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things, The Grassroots Arts Museum, and a community owned and maintained theater. You might try dining at Linda's Cafe, located on Main Street, where you can sip a red beer with a burger and listen to country classics on the juke box. If high tech is your preference, you can choose from a selection of video games on the famous magic touch screen digital entertainment center, located next to the pool table.

Those pictures were so awesome I had to go and look up the place, I had never heard of it. Amazing story and photos on their website and others who have written about it. Everything made of concrete. It looks like a place I would love to visit and just spend days looking at all the sculptures.

I've seen it and it's definately interesting...but also kind of creeps me out for some reason.

The photos of Kansas are super. Ruth and I will have to visit soon and please send more of them. I made a trip today to work on the other house and had time to reflect and dodge interstate traffic. These ideas may have little to do with Kansas per se but perhaps a lot. If you can tolerate true random, please read on.
You can have as your set of palette tools a box of 8 crayons or as I found tonight a Crayola tower with 150 crayons. Somewhere today the imagery of the heartland, a thread about misspelled words and civil war love letters kind of made sense in the same soup bowl. As part of the heartland, the middle of America, Kansas is far from banal. I think the common idea in the soup is that of a rich palette whether it is color, words or imagery.
