I have been playing Stardew Valley for years IRL and have decided to make my own mod expansion. I am just in the planning stages.

At first I read this as "I need to upgrade my brain" xD
Melt down the solid gold Lewis and make coins from it.I wish Pelican Town had a bank for me to rob...

I should - It's such an eyesore. In a previous game I put it in the town square and it ended up in Marnie's bedroom - I was tempted to leave it there, but the completionist in me had to have it on the farm somewhere. I think I ended up sticking it in the fruitbat cave.
I haven't got it yet in this game. I don't think I have the right secret note, but I'm not sure I even need that?

Anyhow, I played most of the night, because somehow I couldn't sleep and I got tired of watching reruns of The Mentalist. LOL!!
I played the last week of Winter. I managed to forget Leah's birthday, as I was busy collecting bug meat for Willy. I brought it to him that evening and Leah was already gone from the saloon.
The next day I went to the beach and was greeted by the disgusting display of Willy surrounded by fish and wriggly bug meat.
Thursday was the Feast of the Winter Star, and I gave Demetrius a strawberry and got a pumpkin pie from Leah. Still no teaset. Maybe she would have given me one if I'd remembered her birthday? (I know she wouldn't, she's not coded that way. But I just have a disturbing habit of thinking of this collection of pixels as if she were a real person.
)I remembered Clint's birthday. That means that I think I forgot three birthdays in total this year. Must be a new record. I'm really bad about birthdays.
I spent a few days fishing. I didn't manage to catch the glacierfish. I think it's the worst of all of the Legendaries. I was really just trying to practice for Spring, because I am hoping I can catch the Legend next year. If I manage to increase my fishing skill, that is. I think you need to be Level 10, so maybe I'll have to wait another year.
I decided to spend my money on the barn upgrade. I will need truffles and truffle oil, so I need pigs. Also, I really do want to be a shepherd and have a second barn full of sheep.

I like to go for the legendaries, after having the statue of Blessing and the advanced fishing rod with two tackles. The Fish Blessing combined with high luck really helps to get them.

Another thing you can do with the blessing is equip challenge bait and catch three of them.
I do that too - and then the statue recieves a regular bonk with a galaxy hammer.

Reached the end of year 13, and my end-of-year sale. Ended up with three bouncy lines. Mining, because I sold most of what my statues of endless fortune had produced and a stack of prismatic shards, jumped up and down the height of the small boxes. Farming, because of the jelly and gold quality mayonnaise, with the numbers touching the inside of the brown border. And of course the total being the bounciest of all, touching the outside of the brown border. 
*does math* Earnings and full stack value up about 87 million in the last year. Have been letting diamond harvests and the kegs on Ginger Island slip a few days too many, I guess.
Also filled the 17th stack in Abigail's chest of amethysts just before year 13 ended. 19 stacks to go...

One of the things i really do miss about HM is the cowbell. I don't miss bringing the cows in every night, but it would be a fun little feature to have something like that in SDV so that you can play with the sheepies and other aminals

Kate's flower garden finally got one more fairy rose of the right color in the right place .... and then she promptly pulled it out by accident trying to pull out the one next to it 
. I guess the pain was dulled by the fact that Fran (even though they aren't related) got a tea set from Sam for the winter star

Went to the Flower Dance and loved the new map layout with a big waterfall and the new NPC dialogue - all from the 1.6 update.
Now that's it's Spring and strawberry season made heaps of strawberry jelly to sell and get the big bucks

Spent a few days running around like a wagtail with too many chicks, as usual. Got another 12 statues of endless fortune, what was needed to fill up that shed. Replaced my first stack for the year as I forced the kegs in the cellar to finish. The 6 stacks of ancient fruit wine that remain in the stack chest should be gone from it before the end of the year.
And reached the rank Farming Master... Oops, sorry. Wrong game forum.

Several days in rapid succession:
Monday was a heavy harvest day, with what felt like 3/4 of the plants all needing something - and the tea plants finally ready for gathering besides. Also lots and lots of potatoes and speed-gro, parsnips with quality-boosting fertilizer, and some other short-growth plants to fill in freshly empties spots. Rowan decided what they really really needed was a shipping bin next to the actual field, instead of waaay up at the top of the farm by the cabin. Which meant, well, having just asked Robin for some hefty construction, they had 17 wood in storage. So despite their initial plan being to get to the mines, they ended the day chopping some more wood.
Tuesday rained, which did help abbreviate the farm chores, but they paused to fish a river in hopes of some river jelly (The midnight carp in their pond kept asking, the farm streams were too brine-laced and used by the ocean fish, but with the minecart network fixed, they had new access to a secret meadow with its own river, and no other humans to scare them off.) No luck with river jelly but at least they got a decent catch. It was this latter which led to them being late into the mine; they got a bunch of gold and a tiny bit of coal but had to run back out yet again.
Wednesday they decided to sneak to the beach and fish instead of fishing at their own docks, aware that almost everyone from town would be off at the flower dance. Mostly, they wanted to see if they had any significant difference in catch between the two spots.* The change of scenery was nice, but they warped back unseen, despite pausing at the bulletin board to grab their red tickets (and apparently an easy to complete quest!) and slip into the mayor's empty house to grab the actual prizes before they remembered they had a totem on hand. And they remembered to refill the bird feeders, which gave them the chance to smile at their little friends.
Thursday, they shipped their last potatoes for the bulletin board request, along with a massive load of peas, beans and coffee beans. They eyed the chest full of coffee beans, and also added one more keg to their modest machine area. There was no way they'd be keeping up with the sheer number of coffee beans growing, even accounting for processing through fall and winter. Not if they wanted to do anything else around the farm. So they sold the freshest ones straight.
Thursday was also the day they finally remembered to hand in the next few bundle items for the soot sprite who hid in the cave*, upgrading their tools through some strange magical process. They still needed another cave carrot before they could get a better hoe, and they were sadly low on actual ore, which, unsurprisingly, was a key ingredient for every single tool. Ah well, nobody said magic was *cheaper or easier than the blacksmith's fees, and anyone who didn't really understand just how little Rowan liked to talk to others would probably have just told them to go to Clint in the first place.
Also on Thursday, while chopping a tree... a shirt fell out of it. It was wrapped in a ribbon the same colour as the mystery boxes, a ribbon which seemed to cruble to dust as soon as it was untied. Maybe this explained why the shirt was a similar style to the one Rowan wore most habitually, and a similar colour, and happened to be just their size. And was lighter weight for the upcoming hot weather.
Who exactly was this person who dropped boxes everywhere and random mysterious gifts? Some of the villagers also found some of the mystery boxes; Rowan had overheard Abigail swearing to her dad that she'd seen a blue-skinned man in a big hat go by once in a plane, and scatter them. (Pierre had pooh-poohed this, saying Harvey would know if there was a plane in the vicinity.)
Friday, Rowan received a mini-shipping bin in the mail as thanks for all the potatoes. They suspected it wouldn't be nearly enough for their crop range - and would be proven right - but it was definitely a start. Maybe they'd run out of backpack space while harvesting *slightly* less quickly.
Friday they focused on collecting crops and on chopping the spare trees, since they wouldn't be doing so as much on Saturday when they meant to go to the mountain lake. And, they realised belatedly, they should really check out the quarry this time.
On Saturday, they started, reluctantly, in town, walking up, dropping the pile of gems from Emily's billboard request in her hands, to her great pleasure. They added a flower just for her on top, and were, reluctantly, pleased to learn they'd just inadvertently managed to hand her a birthday gift, not just a general nice gesture. IT was... it felt kind of nice to accidentally make someone a bit happier instead of annoying them, but they still didn't know how to process it. So after giving the nice elderly gardener another pretty flower, they fled to the lake via a minecart to the quarry; there was no room to move outside the one narrow path. But a few bombs cleared up a good mass of things, including enough gems to more than make up for Emily's handful.
And they'd never been told the quarry contained its own seams of coal ***, ending up with more than enough to breathe easy on that front for the first time in a while. They opted not to spend their energy longer in the quarry than that, as if they chopped all the trees as well, they wouldn't have room for the fish they were planning to reel in.
And along with a nice range of fish, at last, at last, they got that damn river jelly for the midnight carp pond.
Sunday was the end of the month, and the harvest EVERYTHING day. Rowan had lucked out, and came to the field to a final burst of strawberries, AND beans, AND coffee beans (okay that last was hardly a surprise), plus lentils and peas. And, reluctantly, they pulled the flowers in front of the bee hutches; everything that wasn't marked for spring AND summer. Yeah, the mini-shipping bin wasn't going to do the trick all by itself. They also moved the seeds from spring back to the house and brought down the summer seeds, ready for the next day. Summer was on its way...
* There's often a higher percentage of trash at the farm even on ConcernedApe's own designs, and the fishing on this one seemed to be set up a bit wonky, not doing what the actual mod-maker tried to get it to do. So this was me doing a test. Seemed to pass, though.

It's Spring. Year 2. Kent came to my door to say hello.
I blew most of the money I had left on seeds, but I also made two seed makers to turn my leftover strawberries into strawberry seeds. I have 24 boxes of Deluxe Speed-Gro and I used all of them on my strawberry plants.
On the second day I accepted a crop request - now I need to grow 100 cauliflowers. Right now I have carrots, parsnips and garlic that can all be harvested in a few days and replaced with cauliflowers.
The other bulletin board option was a resource run on wood, and since I cut down most of the trees in winter it will take a while for them to grow back.
On Wednesday I went looking for Maru in the clinic, but instead I was ambushed by Harvey who wanted to give me a check-up. I managed to find Maru and give her the gold bar she'd asked for.
Bigfoot ran across the screen in the secret woods while I was trying to gather some hardwood. Why does that still startle me?
On Thursday it was Kent's birthday. I brought him an egg, since I don't know how to make his favourite foods yet and I don't have anything else to give him.
I harvested my first 24 strawberries. Sold 10, kept some of the gold-star ones for gifts and some of the regular ones for jelly.
On Friday and Saturday I harvested more crops and planted the rest of the cauliflower seeds.
There was a catfish frenzy, and I managed to catch exactly 2 in as many hours. I don't need them for the CC (Linus took care of that) but I still needed to catch one for the record.
On Sunday I ran around with gifts. Evelyn showed me how to make cookies that taste like hockey pucks (although I didn't tell her - didn't want to hurt her feelings). Elliott wanted to know what kind of novels I like. I chose Mystery, because he looks like a guy that wants to write Romance.
Lewis was happy with his gold-star pepper for his birthday. I didn't tell him where he should stick it...
