Spring? or Summer?

Schmoe's book is divided into four section sections - one for each season of the year, starting with winter. Spring takes the reader well into July, when the snow has melted enough for the steam shovels to come through and make a trail up to the Parasise Inn. I contemplate all of this now that the equinox has passed, and here in New England I am wondering when summer will come. It has been rainy, damp and clammy for much of June.
