Something unexpected has arrived in Happy Meal.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty and friends are teaming up for the ultimate collab.

Joining your little ones on a fun-fueled adventure.

Some fun, some food, it's all inside this Happy Meal.

Until the 2nd of February from 11am includes one pre-selected book or toy whilst it's last.

You're listening to Away With Words, the show about language and how we use it.

I'm Grant Barrett.

And I'm Martha Barnett.

Grant, we've gotten a lot of reaction to our conversation with Haley.

She's the poet in Minnesota who wondered if there weren't more terms for the seasons than just winter, spring, summer, and fall.

The times between the seasons where something weather-wise is happening, but it doesn't really fit the other categories.

And it turns out that there are lots of terms for those mini-seasons.

We heard from David Alice in Burlington, Vermont, who says in his state, they also have

something called stick season. And stick season is once the leaves have all fallen and there's

no snow on the ground yet, typically in November. David says, I suppose, because autumn is so spectacular

here, that it's quite the contrast when the leaves are suddenly down.

The forests look like big sticks.

And he says he'd never heard of that until he moved to Vermont.

And we also heard from Linda Lavalette, who lives in rural Upper Michigan, and she said we refer to the time between winter and spring as mud season.

We heard that for more than a few listeners.

Mud season is very popular around the country.

I don't think they throw parties, and they don't look forward to it.
