The start of "White"

We are entering the white season. I have concluded that we have six seasons here and that they are best identified by color. White begins around or shortly after Thanksgiving and its obvious as to how it earned its name.  Brown begins in late April and has to do with bare trees and lots of mud. Light green begins towards the end of May when the leaves start appearing. Dark green begins toward the end of June when those leaves have matured and the strawberries are getting ripe. Gold is the season of  those days when the leaves have turned to red, orange and yellow and the sun casts more of soft glow then a bright glare. It starts sometime between mid September and early October. And then there is gray from early November til the first lasting snowfall. Gray is  when the forests, fields, and the weather take a somewhat dismal turn waiting for the white blanketing beginning the next cycle.
