Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.

When your partner goes looking for you in the garden but can't find you for awhile because you were crawling on the ground after a new and mysterious insect you saw so you can find out who it is. And what its role in the ecosystem is.

I walk a lot and live in a small town. It took me several times of walking past a family's house to get the courage to do what you did (I'm shy). The man was so kind and answered all my questions about his dwarf fruit trees. He told me I could come by any time. He also has chickens and shares his eggs with the neighbors. He was so sweet, I wish he was my neighbor...
