If we were to dismiss the astrological and meteorological line relating to the four seasons, it could be possible to say we only have TWO seasons in the year. No, I'm not barmy, just thinking a little bit too deep about these things, I guess.

If midsummer's day is June 24th, then summer, theoretically, begins 6½ weeks earlier, around mid May, and, of course, ends 6½ weeks later, approximately around mid August.

Conversely, mid Winter would be the exact opposite of the above!

Yes, I do realise that we have the seasons, i.e. transition from cold Winter to pleasantly warmer Spring, then onto Summer, then, the cooler months of the leaf fall in Autumn and back to Winter again, the full cycle.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. It's something to think about, eh?!?
