Four season cards fill in one at a time, each with a thermometer that rises to warmer in spring and hottest in summer, then falls to cooler in fall and coldest in winter. Each window then shows that season's weather (grey clouds and rain, sunny days, wind blowing the leaves, grey clouds and snow), and an arrow from winter back to spring shows that the seasons repeat every year.
