#Different ways of creating a MonthDay object
now = MonthDay.now
end_of_june = MonthDay.of(6, 30)
new_year = MonthDay.new(m: 1, d: 1)
halloween = MonthDay.parse('10-31')

if now > end_of_june # comparing two MonthDay objects
  # do something
elsif now < '03-05' # comparison against a string representation for March 5th
  #do something
elsif now == new_year
  #Happy new year!
elsif now == halloween
  #turn on spooky automation
end

logger.info("Within month-day range") if between('02-20'..'06-01').cover? MonthDay.now

case MonthDay.now

when between('01-01'..'03-31')
 logger.info("First quarter")
when between('04-01'..'06-30')
 logger.info("Second quarter")
