The Four Seasons
spring: A season of warm temperature and plenty of rain. It is when plants and flowers bloom. summer: A season of hot temperatures and long days. This is a popular time for swimming and outdoor activities. autumn: A season of cool temperatures, shorter days, and colorful leaves. This is a popular time for harvesting crops.
