Rumi Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 It's the middle of winter and I know what's on everybody's mind. Spring gardening! The MagicDuel Community Garden will be holding festivals during each of the eight Sabbats of the year. These include solstices, equinoxes, and the four dates right in the mid seasons. These include Groundhog Day, May Day, and Halloween. Gardeners around the world use these dates to determine planting schedules, along with moon cycles (which we will also be observing). These dates will be used for a number of garden events, including plot management at the community garden. This festival will be highlighted by a party the way gardeners party best. WORK PARTY!!! We are going to build that toolshed we have been talking about for so many months and we need all the help we can get. This is the main event! We would like to have some other games and contests, so please post below with ideas and plans. PM if you prefer. As it will be groundhog day, we'll have a groundhog themed poetry and story contest, with prizes for winners in both categories. Necrovion scarecrow contest winner will be announced. Details of a massive new garden contest will be announced. And you all can begin work on your garden plots for the spring season. Perfect time to get those cool season crops started (think roots, greens, and peas). Community Garden plots remain free for all interested gardeners. I'd like some help planning and preparing for the event, as well as an additional host for the hours America sleeps. Garden experience appreciated but not required. As I have said before, I'm also looking for dedicated leaders to help manage the community garden (DEVELOP YOUR ROLE) and this is a great opportunity to step up. The event will take place at the Meeting of the Roads in No Man's Land. There will be a special lottery giveaway if on the day of the event, the scene has 18/18 herbs and 2/2 memory stones. Stay tuned for more information... Eagle Eye, Plix Plox, Phantom Orchid and 6 others 9 Quote

I guess I'd need something to paint on. I could paint rocks. Feb 02 15:09:19 Sephirah Caelum: ahhh ... Feb 02 15:09:31 Change: This world needs some splashes of colour, like on the potions I've seen when I was new. Feb 02 15:09:43 Sephirah Caelum: *chuckles* you could paint happy rocks Feb 02 15:10:01 Change: For instance, what if the resources were colourful? I could paint the resources. Feb 02 15:10:07 : Sunako goes back to doodling on her sketchbook Feb 02 15:10:20 Change: They'd grow more colourful the more 'present' they are. Feb 02 15:12:32 Sephirah Caelum: would be nice, but I don't know .. Feb 02 15:12:32 Change: Oh! Right! *looks at her scroll that has a few words about her* Feb 02 15:12:38 Change: I can paint on this! Feb 02 15:12:51 Change: Still need a brush and paints though.

If they were colourful, maybe people wouldn't want to take them too much! Feb 02 15:19:53 Sephirah Caelum: I'm afraid that colorful paper and rainbow candy are only special for me because they hold color Feb 02 15:20:11 Sephirah Caelum: If everything has color, I think I will like less Feb 02 15:20:39 Sephirah Caelum: But, well, I'm not sure about this eighter Feb 02 15:20:42 Change: But.. even rainbow candy doesn't look as colourful as the potions. Feb 02 15:20:48 JadenDew the Fro.: Ribb Feb 02 15:21:21 Change: And won't it be more fun going through a world with splotches of colour than a world where you need to hold onto tiny pieces of candy to get it? Feb 02 15:21:33 Sephirah Caelum: but the are Rainbow *smiles* this is enought for me Feb 02 15:21:58 Sephirah Caelum: *shrugs* I don't know Feb 02 15:22:10 Change: I wouldn't miss what I never had, but I have had this Feb 02 15:22:10 Sephirah Caelum: this way things can have the color I desire .. Feb 02 15:22:28 Change: With the ancient bottles that I used. Feb 02 15:22:44 Change: Well, maybe there should be a way for people to change the colours of objects. Feb 02 15:23:08 Change: Besides. I don't mean lots of colour. Just little colours Feb 02 15:23:30 Change: Like.. maybe clovers could be extra green, so one can pick them when they're along the path. Feb 02 15:24:07 Change: They could even find a four leaf clover that would give them extra luck, until it withers. Feb 02 15:24:16 Sephirah Caelum: hm ... Feb 02 15:24:38 Sephirah Caelum: maybe the fild could be pale green when full of herbs Feb 02 15:25:03 Sephirah Caelum: nd when you collect everything they turn to it's original color Feb 02 15:25:42 : Change nods Feb 02 15:26:10 Change: Or it could even be brilliant green! Feb 02 15:26:28 Change: Like, this field right here could be green when full of life. Feb 02 15:27:14 Change: Imagine if all the grass was green *smiles* Feb 02 15:27:17 Sephirah Caelum: maybe not only green Feb 02 15:27:29 Sephirah Caelum: could have a bit of yellow and red Feb 02 15:27:42 Change: Oh no. There'd be flowers too *nods* Feb 02 15:27:48 Sephirah Caelum: since we can collect different types of plants Feb 02 15:28:13 Change: True true (Of course I think of these ideas /now/) Feb 02 15:28:22 Sephirah Caelum: but I still think in a pale color, not much brilliant Feb 02 15:28:34 Sephirah Caelum: ( ) Feb 02 15:28:40 Change: Hmmm.. but I think it'd be neat if it was brilliant. Feb 02 15:28:52 Change: I need to go for a moment though. Feb 02 15:28:55 Sephirah Caelum: the lakes could be blue Feb 02 15:29:07 Sephirah Caelum: and maybe green as well Feb 02 15:29:23 : Sephirah Caelum nods and lays on the grass Feb 02 15:38:20 Change: And back. Feb 02 15:40:02 phantasm: thank you change Feb 02 15:40:38 Change: No problem *smiles* . Feb 02 15:40:48 phantasm: hello Rumi Feb 02 15:42:38 Change: (If only I didn't suck at shading so much) Feb 02 15:42:38 phantasm: *looks around* it would appear all the work has wore everyone out Feb 02 15:42:57 Change: Yeah, it would appear so. Feb 02 15:45:23 phantasm: and plix still has the recipe book *pokes plix plox with his walking stick* Feb 02 15:49:54 Change: I really do need a small container that I can pour some water in.
