Happiness blooms late as the azaleas in the Trask residence and the tardy spring. Interesting that as the inhabitants of the Salinas Valley find their superstitious way into blaming the war for the uncommon seasonality, so the Trasks' happiness might be considered late, though happy it is, and--well--is this happiness in spite of or because of the war?
Does the ultimately required resolution of the book's conflict depend on Aron's mortality (not morality, thank goodness)?
I think it's hilarious that both Cal and Abra ask, one after the other, Adam and Lee to come and join them on the picnic. I wonder if for the maybe the first time in his life Adam catches on and claims necessary business at the ice house. Lee, who's becoming both softer and more acerbic in his old age, just tells Cal he's a moron and refuses.
