Maine Seasons

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I realize in most areas there are 4 seasons. Some areas are less. For me there are at least 8. If you think about it everything about each time of year is unique, not only the event that is associated with it.

Starting with the first of the year:

Winter- After the holidays... dark, cold. Think about the smell of the air too...cold!

Mud Season- again, a different smell in the air. It's getting lighter. You have to walk on boards and wear puddle boots

late spring- Trees start to bud, grass is growing, it's warmer, again a smell change!

summer- Warm!! Lasts about 2 weeks...LOL!!! Yeah, it smells warm too... sense a pattern??

school time- It starts getting darker, cooler, excitement in the air, back to routines

Fall- Trees change color, nip in the air, good bye garden! This is my favorite season for smells!

Hunting season- No leaves on the trees, the sun has a different glow, peaceful

Christmas season- holiday cheer, much colder, hopes for snow, so very dark outside!
