Farmer Bobbi wakes up after being out all hours in Skull Cavern the night before, where Gunther needed to haul her out for the modest fee of 1000g (patronizing local businesses is important, think global, shop local!). As she drags her sorry rear outta bed with pockets fulla saplings and an odd assortment of cooked dishes, Emily hits her with:

......
Empty blank stare from Bobbi accompanied by a few blinks. She wonders what she did right or wrong but can't come up with anything she's done for the house this season other than add additional bones to the Bone Chest.
"Uhhummmm," Bobbi stammers, waiting in vain per the usual for her brain to produce something useful, looking around the house for some inspiration. "Maybe you're thinking of your other wife?," she finishes, turning back to Emily with a wan smile.
"No you silly I mean everything. Not just the house, the whole thing, the farm and the shop and keeping Robin busy working on new construction!" Emily rolls her eyes in an uncomfortable similar way to her sister. "Sometimes wonder whether you're being intentionally obtuse or merely trying to make me feel comfortable by acting like Haley." She looks Bobbi in the eye and winks with a grin.
"Does just tired count?" Bobbi asks with a little less life than usual. I need coffee where is the coffee brain needs caffeine to process wife noises.
"Awww, c'mere you," Emily wraps a lumpier than expected Bobbi in a supporting hug, squeezing extra hard just because it's fun and plants a kiss somewhere in Bobbi's mop of hair.
"Urg," Bobbi chokes out from within the unexpected vise grip, "Me feels better now, thank you!" Released from temporary bondage, Bobbi pauses to catch her breath but having no more coffee than before doesn't manage much brain.
"Soooo I couldn't help but notice you have some full pockets there," Emily mentions casually, eyebrows raised, seemingly appraising Bobbi but in reality visually rummaging through her full pockets. "Did you bring me a new blouse or dress?"
One blink but this time brain caught hold of a thought. "No, I ended up with like 4 cowboy hats but I left them for the serpents to try on 'cause their bald heads looked cold." A pause as small hands finally find their quarry. "But I got this for you instead, it's real earthy, totally
you kinda stuff!"

By the time Bobbi fishes the Survival Burger out of her pockets, Emily is already making a run for it.
"Ewwww groooss!" Emily yells over her shoulder, again in an almost disturbing echo of her sister. "You found some moldy cave burger and now try to foist it upon your truly beloved? What kind of
monster are you?" Giggling as she runs down the hall and up the stairs towards the attic.
"Hey get back here," Bobbi protests, setting off to corner Emily using whatever means necessary. "This is fresh from the bowels of Skull Cavern." Puffing up the stairs. "This kinda stuff is... a delicacy! Restaurants in Gotoro pay thousands for these and here..." >Puff< who installed these stupid steep stairs? "...I am offering one to you out of the kindness of my heart!" Hearing a bump in the attic means Emily wants to be caught. Once she gets a head start, Bobbi can rarely catch the taller and faster Emily but the attic is cluttered with one way in and out. Bobbi smiles, finishing the stairs at a slow climb. "I need to fatten you up, you're too skinny and I'll never catch you until I bring you down to my level."
As Bobbi enters the attic, Emily is carefully examining the snake skull, saying, "You do that almost every day when you make me stand one step down on the stairs for your special Bobbi hug."
Bobbi smiles behind Emily's back, "Well I like to be the tall one once in a while even if it means our feet remain strangers. Would you like a savory survival burger freshly separated from its natural habitat? I didn't even make it myself!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say so?" Emily takes the burger and scarfs it down in a decidedly intentionally unladylike manner.

Bobbi spent the rest of the day gathering supplies for her further adventures, Moss and Mystic Syrup from her Train Station Forest and Hardwood from Ginger.
And Golden Coconuts, now past half a stack:
514!

Also tilled under more Ginger crops to make room for 2 new Fruit saplings. Soon it'll be an Orchard only, or from Farmer Bobbi' perspective:
"A beautiful and lazy waste of space." Just like me!, she thinks. Well except the beautiful part but then nobody's perfect, eh?
Returning to the house at 9:40pm, desperate to catch Emms before bed, unusually Bobbi finds Emily in the exact spot she left her in the morning.

Taking in the Natural History Museum-flavored attic full of cluttered bones and skeletons, Bobbi answers this with a very clearly pronounced. "You are
such a weirdo." And proceeds to give Emily a empty-pocketed non-lumpy non-bonecrushing hug, which is returned in earnest.
"Now that's why I love you dear, because I was thinking precisely the same thing."
As Bobbi unlocks from Emily, she asks with a bemused smile, "Um, so why did you single out Robin this morning, is there something you forgot to tell me?" But she receives no reply as it's 10pm and per her routine Emily slides away silently to bed with an impish smile.
And great House Design, Emilys right, it's really cozy.
After that I went to Lewis House to find his Lucky Shorts once more, since its so helpful with fishing now. The day after I won the Ice Fishing Contest for the first time ever... Yeah I know, its no big deal for the most, but I'm very proud right now.
Sometimes I dont understand the algorithm of this game...
