Why do leaves turn orange in autumn? Plant leaves are green because they have so much green chlorophyll, but they also have orange and yellow carotenes and xanthophylls. In the autumn, trees stop making chlorophyll right before their leaves fall, so the orange and yellow colours underneath finally show through.

Don't "leaf" your real estate needs in the hands of the wrong agent. "Turn" to someone who's outstanding in their field. Call me today and "fall" in love with a new home!

There are no right or wrong answers... with MOORALES!

Take a moment to think about theses questions. Really think about them. Ask your friend/spouse/significant other these questions.... and see how they reply. =} Don't forget to scroll down to see this month's stats!

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?
Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
Would you rather be a worried genius or a joyful simpleton?

Why are you, you?

Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset? Does it really matter now?

If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?

When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in?

If you knew that everyone you know was going to die tomorrow, who would you visit today?

Would you be willing to reduce your life expectancy by 10 years to become extremely attractive or famous?
If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?

And remember, I'm here for all your relocating needs -- near and far. If I can't personally serve you, I have a vast network of agents that I trust who can help you. ♥

Snow place like home... with MOOrales!

FEB '17	ST CHARLES	GENEVA	BATAVIA	ELBURN	SUGAR GROVE	MAPLE PARK
# ACTIVE	363	155	100	73	55	14
# SOLD	48	16	15	5	13	3
MARKET TIME	159	137	102	133	117	161

Since we've had a freakishly warm winter, I searched out some
fun-winter facts, just because:

Every snowflake has six sides.

Snow is not white.

Snow is actually clear and colorless.

“The complex structure of snow crystals results in countless tiny surfaces from which visible light is efficiently reflected. What little sunlight is absorbed by snow is absorbed uniformly over the wavelengths of visible light thus giving snow its white appearance.”
80% of all the freshwater on earth is frozen as ice or snow. This accounts for 12% of the earth’s surface.

A blizzard occurs when you can’t see for 1/4 mile. The winds are always 35 miles an hour or more. The storm must last at least 3 hours to be classed as a blizzard. If any of these conditions are less, it is only a snowstorm.

The USA averages 105 snow producing storms per year.

When it comes to larger, complex snowflakes, no two are alike

However, it’s possible that a “nano-snowflake,” a tiny flake with only a few molecules, could have a twin.

And something fun, for us original Chicago-folks:

The 1967 blizzard was one of Chicago's most bizarre weather events. On Jan. 24, the high temperature was 65, and there was a tornado watch. Two days later, a storm dropped 23.1 inches of snow in 29 hours.

But the Windy City is not easily intimidated. Seven hours after the storm began, with snow falling at a rate of about an inch an hour, 193 people showed up at WGN-TV's studios for the "Bozo Show."
