• Third Winter (Approximately Mid March to Early or Mid April)
• The Pollening (Early April to Late April)
• Actual Spring (Early May to Late May)
• Summer (Early June to Mid July)
• Hell's Front Porch (Mid July to End of August)
• False Fall (Late August or Early September to Mid September)
• Second Summer (Mid to Late September to Early October)
