The easiest way really is to play games, and select the option to remove the clouds. It's a little confusing since you want rainy clouds to water your plants, but you DO actually want to remove the clouds from around the sun.
It takes a while (probably about a dozen games when you first join), but after you get the clouds cleared, it's usually pretty easy to keep them clear.
Yeah, I've been playing these games for years, and I hadn't know about that click function either! It makes that game a lot more playable. 
sroo: That is interesting. I had always figured there was only one answer, but you're right; it's very clear that you can solve that particular layout three different ways.
(And now that I've seen a faster path than I've always known about before, it won't take as long for the water to go down anymore.)
Yes, if you'd like it. It's a hatchling now; I'll send you a PM with a link.
Look at this nifty lineage I found on the AP!
I actually found two eggs that are siblings, both with the same lineage. Would someone like to have one of them?
This reminds me of a movie - Return to Me.
That was a great movie! That was where David Duchovny met his wife, Minnie Driver.
It's the same as here - truelinor. I got a lot of flowers, so I was pretty happy about that!
I don't know if I'll be playing any more. I just don't have the time.
Haha! I get that. You already play several web games, if I recall. I only do DC and FG myself.
But this way at least you can play the holiday games if you want to. That will be fun for you.
Have you tried rebooting? You said you cleared the cache, so sometimes rebooting might help. Or try a different browser, if you have one.
Edit: Nm, you said you tried with firefox. I use Chrome, and have had no problems today.
I saw the honey pot as well, but because I had already done the puzzle, I couldn't do it again. Had you done it in a past year, Lyn?
Yeah, there are Heart of Valentine seeds you can catch in the garden (they look like shiny hearts lying on their side), and you can breed HoV plants with Bleeding Hearts, so there are still plants you can get.
You mean the dragons? Yeah, there were at least two that only went out once, and two or three that went out three times.
Thinking about the math, there had to at least one more dragon that went out only once, than there were dragons who went out three times.
Well, I've sent BluHeart one of each flower, so she'll have all of them after it's over, even if she doesn't have a chance to send them.
Of course, she's stuck with MY favorite backgrounds, of course. 
Although I do try to mix them up as I do various flowers.
I think Ninglor must not have understood what it was all about. Either that, or he/she didn't care, and just wanted to keep it.
Can we keep the ones we've given out? If so, that might be your way of keeping every flower at least once.
What's your dragon cave name? I can send you some also.
Yesterday I was able to give one drop to three of them, but then nothing further. Haven't been able to water anything in that garden at all today. No idea why; maybe a garden can take only so many drops from strangers before they can't take anymore? But that makes no sense, as I'm sure we've done many more than that on other gardens in the past.
Snow/Santa game (I don't managa to collect the correct things... Maybe I should try again...)
The only things to avoid are the bundles of sticks. All the gifts, candies, cookies, and baubles give you points; the sticks take points away.
At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I tend to focus on the gifts, which give more points than the other things, and I avoid the sticks, and it doesn't take me too long to complete that game.
I agree, True, I hadn't known about clicking in the center. I tried it today, and it worked like a charm, so the game wasn't frustrating like it has been in the past.
I just searched through all of our forums, and I finally found this thread that appears to have some answers.
Didn't go very far into it, but I think it's the right one.
My favorite is the card game; I don't care if it's small, medium or large. I feel that playing games where I have to remember where each card is, is good for keeping my memory sharp.
My second favorite is the pipes. The trick to that, True, is start from the bottom. Also, there are only a limited number of patterns, so once you learn them, you learn to recognize which one it is. Some of them unfortunately take a while for the water to go through the pipes (and you can't minimize the page, or switch to another browser tab, or the water stops flowing), and I sometimes don't want to take the time. So when it's one of those, I will refresh for something else.
The match 3 is fun, and I play it sometimes. I usually prefer the smaller boards.
I love the snow game, at least in the Christmas present format. Even though it takes a little longer than most of the games that I play, I like the graphics for it. Although sometimes I won't play it when I'm pressed for time.
The ones I never play are the picnic (hidden object) game, and the stepping stones. Even though I know where all the objects are in the picnic page, sometimes when I click the correct object, it says I didn't, and then I have to start over. I HATE that, so I just won't bother with that game anymore. The stepping stones used to be one of my favorites, but I just haven't played it in a while, I'm not sure why.
I also don't play the new one that often. I don't like how random it is. Sometimes I have all but one or two flowers, and then I have to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, until the final flower(s) come up. My best friend gets frustrated with it, because on her computer her mouse is either unreliable or slow, not sure which, but she can almost never click the flowers in time.
