Beautiful weather yesterday evening for a bonfire. High near 69°F. Me, wife, and daughter had the time of our lives (considering that we had a 3 foot Lake Effect event into Christmas morning fresh in our memories!) Roasting hot dogs and doing smores. 9 PM kicks around, and temp drops and wind picks up. We take shelter. That’s par for the course in April’s NY North Country.
In the Northeast our Spring has turned to summer. The last several days have been over 80°. To me that’s way to hot for Spring. I’m already dreading the summer.
It has pretty much gone from spring to early summer already. It hit 88 degrees here and if you can believe what the weather prognosticators say, hit the 90’s by next week. I fear it will be a long and hot summer.
Hey, April showers bring May flowers! I picture the fourth panel being a big storm, with this classic thunder sound effect: https://freesound.org/people/craigsmith/sounds/675989/
It’s ironic that Calvin goes inside to read a comic book. When I was a kid about Calvin’s age, the best thing about a Spring wind was standing facing into it with my Superman cape on – it made me feel like I was flying!
Is it just me or can anyone else actually hear that scream coming out of him in panel 3 that the wind is blocking. Just the look on his face lets you know he is letting out a huge scream, just as we would expect Calvin to do.

The best thing about spring is that it leads to summer.

Spring has sprung
Fall has fell
Summer’s here and…
— You know the rest. And this year, I’m not going to be betting on how much heat, how much rain, how much wind… and how much fire.

It’ll be summer here for two more days (in the 80’s) then back to spring (in the 40’s) with the weekend and next week.

I had that song in my head all one day last week. Nice song; they don’t make them like that any more.
