LOL! Ok, you got me with that.
But the scenery in spring is just gorgeous (or summer, whenever that is). Wow!
Now that is what we did. Used the land for insulation. We built our home to the back of a 40 acre sunflower field. Mostly because of the lay of the land and our aversion to water coming into the basement. Quasi-semi kinda sorta anyways. Our basement is dug in to a limestone ridge. Solid. (Note to self: find an insulation pic.)
