I concur with the rest. The six seasons make so much sense. It's not about being in the same phase as other places on earth. I mean, in the southern hemisphere, they are in Fall or Locking depending on where they are. Indigenous people had a name for each full moon based on what was happening at the time (Sugar Moon, Rice Moon). They got 13 seasons out of that plan.
Thanks for presenting a new perspective on the seasons for MN. Thinking about Locking and Unlocking is so much more appealing than getting depressed about what feels like endless winter!
I have been greatly enjoying your writing and this piece in particular gives a helpful perspective to what I consider the transitional seasons. (Jessie from Bearhead/Claire’s friend).

Exactly what I needed to read this morning. I love season changes and now I will have more patience by adding “ locking” and “ unlocking”. Thank you.

Perfect! I agree. Six seasons it is.
