In spring, it was time for marriages.  If a  girl married a man she would squat down in front of his house and grind corn for four days.  If a man wanted to end a marriage he would take all his belongings and leave.  If a girl wanted to end a marriage she would put all his belongings outside the house when he was away.  Spring was also a time for making new pots and bowls and cleaning walls and making new designs on them.

Early each summer day farmers ran outside to chop the weeds that might rob their crops.  Day and night the Anasazi boys watched the crops to keep the ravens, rabbits, and squirrels away.  At night, they kept the witches away by smearing ashes on their faces.  Women gathered wild plants for food and medicines.  They also made many trips to the springs below the cliffs for water.  During the heat of the day, the men sat in the shade and chipped stone tools.

At night men and boys used to keep deer from nibbling on the harvest.  Soon everyone joined in for picking squash, beans, and corn.  Above the houses in cracks of the walls were the storage rooms.  Jars of beans, dried squash and stacks of corn filled them.

In the winter to keep warm, the Anasazi had to huddle around a fire with the rest of their family.  When kids were old enough they got to be in a very warm kiva.  A kiva was a clubhouse for adults.  A kiva was also for some ceremonies.  Air came down from a ventilator.  A ventilator is like a chimney.
