help with Ukrainian saying

[Svetlana Malykhina]

Dear Natalie,
 
What about 'there is no rhyme or reason in that'?

Dear Fellow list members,

After reading all of the excellent suggestions for Russian equivalents to
"the grass is greener on the other side" I turn to you with a request
for an English equivalent to a Ukrainian saying.  A colleague asked me to come
up with an equivalent to: V ohorodi buzina, a Kyivi diad'ko.  I
couldn't.  But I'm sure that the collective wisdom of this group can do
better than I could do on my own.  Thanks in advance.
