Spring in Chicago…
ByOur first Spring day yesterday was wonderful. You didn’t really need gloves or a scarf. The sun was shining and many went out with lighter jackets than normal. Although I like summer and warm days, yesterday was a nice respite from our snowy, cold winter in the Chicago suburbs.
I woke up this morning to get ready for a listing appointment of a Homer Glen home. I had to answer the door as we were having our bathroom remodeled and the workmen were early. I had to do a double take when catching the outside and the – no it can’t be – snow covering the ground.
I had heard the weather people talking about snow but I guess I was hoping they were teasing us because it was just such a nice day yesterday. Nope, they were telling the truth.
And I have been e-mailing with an agent from Arizona about purchasing a rental condo out there. This gives me a little push to go forward with my search. I loved snow and winter when I was young. I’m no longer young and I can truly say that I hate winter.
I would never leave IL behind as I have kids and grandchildren here (one grandchild lives with us). But I sure look forward to being a snowbird, or as my Mom (who lived in Mesa for 20 years) referred to as “those damn snowbirds.”
Always trying to stay positive, I was worrying about changing some of my listing photos showing snow and now I don’t have to be in such a rush.
