Fixes
The symbol for the bird's nest in the "spring" corner was omitted from the key in the instructions. The symbol looks a bit like a teeny bow tie and should be stitched using DMC 3032.
Time & Seasons
The third chapter of Ecclesiastes is full of wonderful passages, and I used just one here; verse #11: He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Lots of colors combine for a bit of traveling through the seasons. You could simplify the design by omitting the verse in the border if you like -- it's lovely either way. If you prefer to stitch this on fabric, use a blue ground and omit the background fill of the sky.
