Summer?

OK after yesterday's proof that it had been spring, here's the confounding news: it actually seems to have skipped right into summer. Well, the leaves on the trees are still smallish and light green, and some trees are blooming in that oh-so-springy way of theirs, but actually it has been above 20 degrees every day since Tuesday (whereas Monday was like 11 and rainy).




As I cynically implied yesterday, it will probably get rainy and cold again for weeks before it's actually summer, but for now I simply shout Yippee!! and run off to get my bike for a nice long ride in the sunshine.
