Old water colour painted book with a story for each day of the year

[just_m3h]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me track down this book I had way back in the day? It was a hefty book that had a mini story (composed of a handful of short sentences) for each day of the year and showed the progression of the seasons through different events such as the first blue birds singing, the swallows flying off for winter, receiving the results of autumn's harvest, and so on. There were beautiful water colour paintings to go with them as well. This was a thick book, perhaps several decades old now.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance ^.^

Hefty? How?

If you set the book on a bookshelf, spine vertical, would you describe it as tall as a microvwave?

Is it thick? How thick? Are the thickness of the pages and the covers combined as thick as a whole apple?
