This year summer came before Swallows

Our apple tree flowers were my inspiration for the third blip in a row.
I'm astonished for our summer weather, is this already 15th consecutive warm and sunny day?!

We saw a Swallow in the evening, our first observation this year. 
An old Finnish saying tells when you see a swallow, you know summer has arrived:

Kuu kiurusta kesään; puoli kuuta peipposesta; västäräkistä vähäsen; pääskysestä ei päivääkään.

A month from a skylark to the summer; half of a month from a finch; a little from a wagtail; no day from a swallow.

Aristotle han a different view:

For one swallow does not make a summer, nor does one day; and so too one day, or a short time, does not make a man blessed and happy.
