There's No Business Like Snow Business

I got up early this morning to read a couple chapters of my latest read "Escape." Another day and after completing the Escape I will share my thoughts on this book. Anywho...I turned on the television to check out the weather (as property manager I do this daily...gives me an idea of how my day will proceed) and guess what...? More snow coming our way later today. I think we have had snow on the ground since the first of January. The ice damming is becoming critical in several of the associations I manage. I currently manage approximately 850 units throughout the Chicagoland area. That is a lot of roofs! It is also a lot of cranky people...all tired of the winter. And, let's face it, this has been a tough one.

Driving into work (I travel from Aurora to Hickory Hills) I enjoyed the beauty of the wide open spaces. Naked trees with white snow covering their limbs as they reach for the sun and its warmth. It always amazes me! Almost every day I see a huge pergrine (or falcon) seeking a meal as he watches the snow covered fields for prey. Nope...never gonna see this in Los Angeles.

I so delight in the beauty of nature and it is wonderful to observe the wild animals, beautiful birds and have I mentioned my geese? It has become a family joke because I have adopted all the Canadian Geese in Chicagoland. This summer I had a resident throwing rocks at my geese...I got out of my car and let him have the whatfor. Hey, the geese were here before him and they are our Father's creation.
