SEASON CHANGE: SPRING 2017

[thelostmods]

Spring has come at last to the Meadous, as suddenly as ever.

One the morning of March 20th, not a trace of snow remains. The world is now covered in lush, bright new grasses, budding trees, and wildflowers. The landscape is thriving again, awakened from its slumber of winter. Animals have remerged from their dormancy to wander the landscape.

With this change of season comes:

• The sight of a wide assortment of ages and sizes for animals. Zephyr has fully caught onto the concept of aging and it shows. While the ducklings are still prominent at the Wishing Pond, the rest of the Meadous displays the standard age distributions for plants and animals that one might expect.
  
• All winter animal inhabitants have mysteriously vanished/gone home. Not a goose in sight!
  
• The days and nights have returned to the standard lengths. No more are the days unnaturally long and the nights unnaturally short, as with winter.
  
• Those who attempt growing plants early in the season will discover their plants will be growing much faster than expected. Per Deei's boon, the plants will also bear three-times the amount of fruit or roots or seeds that they would typically. Gardens will be lush very quickly.
  
• Wild flowers seem to be growing in the oddest places, including creeping into some of the houses. They can be plucked out of the floor and won't resprout, though.
  
• Ara's Mushroom Patch has reappeared and the strange effects of the fungi can be enjoyed by all.
  
• The underwater cave accessible through the lake is once more available for exploration. SCUBA equipment is readily available along the lake's shore.
