    1/2 cup margarine (or butter, melted)
    SUMMER
    2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (softened)
    1/2 cup sugar
    3 eggs (beaten)
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drain but reserve juice)
    8 drops green food coloring (optional but does make for a 'green summer')
    FALL

    3/4 cup reserved pineapple juice
    WINTER
    1 (12 ounce) carton Cool Whip (thawed, I use whipping cream)
Preparation
    SPRING: For base; in large mixing bowl combine all spring ingredients, press into a 9x 13 glass pan.
    SUMMER: Soften cream cheese, beat in sugar and the beaten eggs - add vanilla, drained pineapple and food coloring - mix well.
    Pour over spring (base), bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes until set.
    FALL: cook pie filling according to directions on package using the 3/4 cup of reserved pineapple juice and enough water to equal liquid called for in the pie filling - when thickened pour over summer.
    WINTER: When lemon filling is cool, cover with Cool Whip or whipping cream about 1 - 1 1/2 inch thickness.
