When you begin a new month, skip to the end of that month and read the "Joyful Simplicities" for the month. Otherwise you'll read them at the end of the month and it will be too late to participate.
Click on "more" to get the hay to feed LOLLY. You have to keep clicking near her mouth for her to chew up her treat, then she'll humm contentedly when you click on her head. She also jumps when you click on her legs!
