A farmer came to see me today and asked when she could expect to plant this year.

I told her it was uncertain. She stated, "But, we usually open the market the first week of April." I stated, I am grateful there are still limbs on the Cherry Trees after the glacial storm we had three weeks ago. It looks like it is going to be a late season this year.

You may adapt (click here) your wardrobe and activities to the seasons, grabbing a heavy coat and skis in winter or instead, a swimsuit and snorkel in summer. However, ecosystems, plants, and animals cannot adjust their wardrobe quite so easily but they do make changes that help them survive seasonal conditions caused by the annual dance of the sun and Earth.
