That said the Gregorian calender, which all time is based upon is known to be inaccurate. the proof of this is that we have leap years. So maybe it is not the seasons, but instead our calender that is wrong. It is also known to be about 6 years out.

Spring is definitely my favourite season closely followed by autumn.

particular variety of lilac in more than seventy locations around the U.S. 
Northeast, to detect the onset of spring — in turn to be used to determine the 
appropriate timing of corn planting and the like? The records the USDA have kept 
show that those same lilacs are blooming as much as two weeks earlier than they 
did in 1965. April has, in a very real sense, become May. This is one of the 
interesting facts that you’ll read about in Amy Seidl’s book, <A

hot-off-the-press essay about the impacts of climate change on the world
