Storms, high winds, scorching heat, cold, and even rainy days, . When the seasons arrives, each period brings change. Every season has its own natural workings that brings the changes. In the spring we can see the rebirth, the growth of the leaves on the trees. Seeds that were planted have developed their roots, and the plants have started to grow. Summer is the time which is the hottest. Autumn (Fall) is the time the leaves fall, and the animals prepare to bear down for the coming winter. Winter Is the coldest time.
