APRIL SHOWERS AND MAY FLOWERS... get a lot of rhyme-based play in the songs of our youths, but few memorable ditties take on the fact that springtime is super-big on the breeze. So big, in fact, that a number of kite-based bashes pop up throughout the season, making the most of all of those lightly gusty flows, the kind of winds that help to lift a piece of nylon up, up, up near the clouds.
