Spring 28, Year 4 at Cozy Farm
Madly rushed around the farm in the rain harvesting all the crops before Summer tomorrow (why do I always leave it until the last day of the season!!). Almost forgot to harvest the flower patch in the Stardew Valley Expanded Community Garden. Happy I had the time to harvest a gazillion peonies for floral bouquets:

Also went on a date with Shane to the Library (thanks to the Date Night mod), where he had a hot coffee waiting for me, and we ended up reading a detective novel together (until Gunther gently reminded us it was closing time).

I played the last two weeks of Spring in one sitting. Didn't plan to, but just got sucked in... 😂 Not unusual for me when it comes to this game, to be honest... 😆

*

The desert festival was a bit hit-and-miss. I managed to slay 10 serpents for Marlon, but it was a serpent rush on the second floor, so my egg rating wasn't anything I'd even care to tell Gil about.
The next day I totally failed to catch a scorpion carp. I did manage to get my three outfits from Emily, but I forgot to pick up the free cactus.

I remembered Pam's birthday, though, and I now have my first 10-heart relationship. :thumbsup:

I got the monster eradication goals for dust sprites and duggies. I need 31 bats, exactly 100 void spirits, 32 rock crabs and some 450 or so slimes in the regular mines. Want to concentrate on those and get up my combat skill before I go back to the skull cavern. I'm stuck at level 8.

Reached level 10 in Foraging and chose Botanist. Failed Robin's hardwood quest because I apparently forgot to go to the secret woods one day, and you really need to go every day if you have no other source of hardwood.

I finally bought a pomegranate sapling. The traveling cart had one relatively cheap. I'm slowly starting to set up ancient fruits in my greenhouse. I found three of them in the mines so far, and just harvested the first one and turned it into two seeds.

I remembered Shane's birthday and I finally remembered to rummage through the trash in town. All I got was some broken glasses and an acorn.
And I once again forgot QoS.

The last week of Spring I gathered 100 bone pieces for Gunther without any problems. I was annoyed, though, because Evelyn's quest had no come up all Spring, and it only works in Spring. I wanted that coffee maker!

I danced with Shane at the flower dance, and apparently that got me to 8 hearts with him. So the next day Pierre started advertising his bouquets. I bought a void egg from Krobus after the dance. I had just intended a quick visit to give him a horseradish, but the egg called to me. :blush:

I spent Thursday and Friday in the rain, mostly fishing. Assisted Shane with his Joja commercial and watched Clint turn Bluu.
Both Pierre and Emily received their birthday presents. Yeah! So proud of my ability to read a calendar!! :grin::grin:
I managed to get Level 10 Mining while trying to work on my Combat skill. I chose Miner, because I rarely have trouble finding coal, and I do sell a lot of bars in the late game.

On Saturday I went to see Krobus and bought his stardrop. I left the sewers and jumped back in to get the cut scene with Dwarf. And I caught the Mutant Carp. Still at level 9, though.
I also bought a second rabbit. I debated buying another goat - but I'm still hoping my goat will give birth and save me the money. :cool:

Sunday I cleaned up the last of my harvest. I have some cauliflower left from mixed seeds that didn't quite mature.

I went to Pierre's to buy an orange sapling. I will probably not get an orange from it this year, because I really should have planted it earlier this week. Before I could buy it, though, I somehow had the urge to sneak into Pierre's bedroom and discover his "stash" of whatever it is...

I went to check up on Krobus, who assured me he was just a little bruised. Then I went to see Dwarf, who just wanted to know about "milk" and never mentioned the fight at all.

I passed out filling my kegs, woke up with a strawberry on my head, and now have two QoS recipes to catch up on.

Agreed! I have quite a large mahogany grove on my most-developed farm, and I love it even if it isn't all that useful much anymore (though you are right about the wood chippers, especially with hoppers)

Also, tapping mahogany trees is surprisingly useful if you make your own fertilizer. Some people won't need to deal with this, but as someone who sells stacks of 999 sap regularly, I sometimes don't have a stash when I need it for crafting, so I started tapping mahogany trees, and problem solved.

Kate got 2 of the remaining 3 blue jazz colors in the same day. YOSS!!!! Stacks of ancient fruit wine and jelly are growing, plus an awesome stack of legend II roe (I might make it to a full stack in a year ... maybe) and various dried shrooms. And diamonds of course 😁 💎.

I didn't get as big of a haul of moss this year's green rain, because it happened to land on a day when all the various timings happened to coincide. So I had to harvest GI, fill the two sheds of kegs, fill the 1.5 sheds of jelly, grab fish roe, harvest the quarry of diamonds, AND harvest the mushrooms before I finally got around to going and scything a few big weeds. Happily, though, I'd prepped quite a lot of trees for cutting down later, so they all grew moss and those I was able to save for the next day.

Summer started with me sitting in bed holding a strawberry, because like I said, I'd once again fainted on the farm.
Joja charged me 1,000g.

I bought a load of seeds. Blueberry, tomato, pepper, hops, spangle, poppy, melon, radish, wheat and of course red cabbage. Planted what I had room for (plus some summer squash). Put the rest in a chest. Cleaned up some weeds and debris.
I neglected all of my animals that first day, there was just too much to do. I did make some extra mayo machines.

And yes, I also planted a few mahogany seeds, using tree fertilizer on all of them. I know Robin won't give up that easily...

I spent most of the week fishing and fighting monsters, but I didn't reach level 10 in either skill. I did remember Jas' birthday and brought her a fairy rose.
I picked up a quest from Demetrius, who wanted me to catch 10 red mullets. I went to the far side of the beach to do so, and managed to catch 5 mullets and the Crimson Fish the first day, and then my inventory was full.

On Friday I bought a second iridium sprinkler for my greenhouse, and a stardrop.

Saturday was Green Rain Day, so I just ran around slashing at weeds. Didn't find the living hat. Demetrius sent me a letter asking for a pufferfish, and I just happen to have one in my fish chest. Also, my first peppers are ready for harvesting. And my baby mahogany trees got a boost, too. (I think the fertilizer helped, too...)

I didn't want to go to the desert on Sunday. Instead I'm concentrating on the regular mines to get my monster goals. Although my first stop was to see Demetrius to give him is puffer fish. Robin intercepted me because she wanted me to have blueprints for flute blocks and drum blocks. And I decided to see Maru and Sebastian while I was there anyway. Sebastian told me about his freelance programming job. Maru didn't have anything important to say, she was busy doing something with a gadget.

I didn't do a lot of monster hunting, but I did try for the stone fish and the ice pip. Didn't get the ice pip, but did manage to get my Level 10 in Fishing. I chose Pirate, because treasure chests are fun and money is boring.

I forgot Queen of Sauce. Again.
