Oh, I beg to differ!
You have lots of lovely open spaces!

maybe post some pictures of Japan? In Springtime? Out your front door?
Ha! We're nowhere near. It's still snowing here, we usually get snow until the end of April, then the first blossom about the middle of May.
I'll post some pictures if spring ever arrives.

Thanks!
Hope you and your family are safe.
I'm from Northern Ohio, so I know that feeling of "when will spring actually get here . . . . "
Which made it so wonderful when it finally did.
The farmer across the street has disced the field (idk if they planted yet) so I thought I'd post a new pic. By July the corn will be 8 feet tall. That field didn't get planted last year because of the flooding. It seems to have dried out nicely.

Wow, it's so flat! Whichever direction I go from my house seems to be uphill. This was the view from my front door about a week ago. Still a tiny bit of snow around, but the cherry blossom is starting to come out.
Yep, that's kind of the plains states' entire description
. Sometimes it gets monotonous but the storms are amazing when you can see an entire half-sphere of sky.
I have my complaints about West Virginia, but how nice it looks in fall isn't one of them.

Kind of like a storm in Florida, too. No hills, just that bowl of sky.Yep, that's kind of the plains states' entire description

I don't have many from my front door unless somebody is at my house picking up one of my husband's hot rods to restore. He likes a picture to mark the occasion. Here are a couple from last year. View is still the same pretty much. We had just expanded our porch and finally got to put our table and chair set out there. That is why the wood and bucket are in the yard.

Last November - Our driveway in front of the house.
Beginning of September - Augustus spotted a squirrel in front of the house.

If those are silver maples, they're really prone to rot, yowza. They like to, as we used to say in another context, get down. (All the way down.)
Still, love the character of the one pictured.

It is a red maple. A friend had three silver maples! All three went down while he lived there. Pretty trees, I like maples, but I would not plant them near my house!
Here is a picture that shows more of the tree. The branches were trimmed back before I got here over 30 years ago. And then the branches over the house were trimmed 7 or 8 years ago. On the right, you can see the trunk of a giant red maple that went down almost ten years ago. It was over three feet thick! It missed my carport by less than ten feet. When it hit the cement driveway, the whole house shook!

We get our really beautiful colours next month, but the leaves are starting to change. I'll post some pics soon. There's a typhoon going past today and I'll get blown away if I step outside.
My view this morning. So nice to see clear skies after weeks of haze from wildfires.
Here's from the front (facing south), this field hasn't been harvested yet. It's been very windy lately and strong wind blowing through a dry cornfield is a really spooky sound!
The field to the west has already been harvested:

Is it a horror film?
Cornfields are scary, I wouldn't go in one. They plant them closer together now, too, so I'm not even sure if humans CAN walk in them.
