Open: That lovely month when ev'ryone goes blissfully astray
Spring is a very important time of year when you are a nature deity tied to a plant, and it has been a painfully long winter. But now the weather is warmer, there's no snow on the ground, the sun is shining (in more ways than one, you could say, since his big brother is now here as well), and in general things are looking up.
Dionysus made up his mind a long time ago that he would start up a vineyard as soon as the weather was more cooperative, and he has spent the past few days getting things set up. He found a nice spot of land for it, got everything prepared, and now he can be found wearing overalls rolled up at the bottom to just above his ankles, a tshirt, and a large sun hat1, walking around the area bringing up some vines from the ground, winding them around some trellises he has made. They're just going through bud burst, he has called them into being as if they are a few years old but just starting to wake up for the season. He could have grown them completely from scratch, but he's impatient and would like an actual harvest this year, and what's the point of having magic if you're not going to use it from time to time?
He also has made room for a smaller garden at the far edge of his little area, where he has planted some various vegetables that he just likes growing for the hell of it. Those he does have to do the slow way, unfortunately.
1. He has his usual vine leaves wrapped around the hat, of course, do you think he would go without? They're his signature.
