I'm making up my own seasons for where I live.
Seretowet
September 1 - November 30 is "Sere-to-wet", which begins with merciless, dangerous, dry heat that seres the hills to crispy tinder. It is a season of local harvest hurrah with the best of tomatoes, apples, pears, peppers. Seretowet begins the school year, celebrates the harvest, endures the height of fire season, revels in Halloween, feasts at Thanksgiving. The Jewish High Holy Days fall within its purview, as does the late November preparations for Yuletide. The colors of this season are orange, brown, yellow and green. In the latter part of the season, sometimes not until November, the rains begin.
Our pear tree gave a bumper crop of pears this year.
