Maybe you’ve been so grateful that you haven’t been shivering through wind-chill temperature readings over the last few weeks or so that you just didn’t even think about this: Summer is just a little over one month away (Friday, June 20th, 2025 is the official first day of summer).

Warm and hot temperatures are very appealing, but I’m sure enjoying the fact that we’ve gone the last two weeks or more without turning on the heat or the air conditioner here in Illinois’ spring season.
