Farmer Bobbi woke up this week in a mood. Not a bad mood, a weird mood. Emily knows a weird mood when she sees one so let Bobbi do her thing, curious what the end result was going to be. In anticipation of what was to come, she
...bought a chair. Sometimes you need a place to sit. To take a load off while considering the sanity of your life partner.
Bobbi started saying, "Um, well you see..." but of course there is Emily's smile and eyes, so-
Bobbi perked up, "Uh, this is great and matches our wood decor perfectly!" It's important to start your day with Coffee, it sometimes lets your brain do things it's often not capable of. "Now that I have all those mannequins moved out, the place barely looks lived in." Never mind there were still like 70 scattered about the house.
Outside the next day Emily asked,
"I've been thinking," Bobbi started, at which point Emily needed to suppress her concerned face as Bobbi thinking didn't
always lead to dangerous outcomes, but she rather had a skill-based reputation in that area of expertise. "There's some sort of health kick thingy I read about on Sam's phone that's I guess all the rage where people are eating all sorts of things and, and it's supposed to be healthy."
Emily failed to suppress the concerned face.
"Oh!" Bobbi bubbled with wide eyes, paying attention to Emily's reactions for once. "It's all
food they're eating, it's totally a normal food thing!" As Emily opened her mouth for clarification, Bobby quickly cut across with, "It's even
healthy food," arched eyebrows with the emphasized word, poking Emily on the shoulder, "mmm you know, things you grow in the ground." Bobbi waved her hand almost dismissively, faintly reminding Emily of her sister. "Crops and stuff." A Cheshire grin matched with bouncing on her toes let Emily know that Bobbi had already mentally committed to this and was just looking for approval. This time it seemed pretty innocuous, perhaps this idea wouldn't lead to "accidentally" slicing off the bottom third of Emily's favorite dress like last time.
"That sounds like something you're well equipped for, my lovely Farmer Wife. What are you going to do? Replace our beautiful red Rhubarb with a hodgepodge of vegetables?"
"Oh no," Bobbi enthused, for once having the semblance of a plan, "I'm going to use all my free space on Ginger and stuff it there. That way I won't have to wait like 3 months until the Fall! I'd probably forget the whole plan if I don't get it all planted in a day or so."
"I would remind you of course, my little muffin,"
Emily said giving Bobbi a kiss on the forehead and a hug. "But you seem to have it all thought out." A sly look snuck across Emily's face before asking, "Can we afford all the seeds?!"
Bobbi missed the humor and sarcasm at first. "Oh yes, I just need 15 each of all these seeds from Pierre," she produced a list scrawled in her poor writing, "it's only 14 crops so that should totally fit. I even found a buncha Sprinklers laying around in the Shed. Like 60!" Big wide Bobbi smile. "Oh! yes we have like 8 million g and the seeds are a lot less th-". Bobbi narrowed her eyes at Emily and pursed her lips.
Emily's enjoyment of this display was not well hidden. "Hee hee, gotcha!"
Bobbi took it in stride, "Yes, you got me you lucky fish. I gave up Elliott's beautiful hair and beachfront property just to be with you." She turned on her heel to depart, yelling over her shoulder, "I made
sacrifices!"
She didn't get far. Emily Bear hugged Bobbi from the back and hauled her into the house. There would be ample time to plant everything later.

It turned out there wasn't as much time as anticipated and Bobbi passed out at 2am in the middle of her muddy field beneath gathering storms, only to be found by Leo and unceremonoiusly dragged to her beach house. She finished the next day, soaked to the bone but satisfied that she would soon sell a lot of new bulk produce she'd never done before:
In 13 days, it would all be ready. However, spending a day by herself and her first night ever away from her wife and family made something very small and stupid snap in her brain, giving her a totally not weird at all idea for the upcoming Egg Hunt...
