Have to remember:
- Sheared Puff yesterday so he will be ready to be sheared again next Sunday. Or Saturday.
- Bess will give birth in Spring
- Bring Gotz dinner
- Give Jeff rice cake
8:40AM
I like to think that my girls (my hens) are a close-knit family. Beau is the tough but motherly parent, Rice is overly nice parent, and Hija and Mac (Beau's daughters) are the trouble making kids (Mac being the leader).

There was another commercial about Blue Feathers on sale at the supermarket. Apparently, this is what townspeople use when they want to propose to someone. I bought one a few weeks ago and it sits at the bottom of my chest, under all my farm equipment.
Anyway, Jeff liked the rice cake and made a cute surprised face when I gave it to him. "A present...for me?" Maybe he's only used to gifts from his family? Or just not from his customers?
I visited Won today and played his Apple Challenge. I only won 2 rounds and got 2 lottery tickets and only won from 1 of them. My prize was Moon Drop flower seeds.
He did that thing again. Touching my hands. Looking at me. Sometimes when I hand him something and he goes to take it, he'll touch my hands. It looks casual, like an accident, if someone were to glance at us. And it would be to me too if he didn't look at me the way he did when he does that. It's hard to describe, his look. But it's not something I can just shrug my shoulders at. Time always seems to stop just at that moment, I guess, if that's a way to describe it. And I look at him too. I'm not sure if my face matched his though.

"Won's eyes are a warming brown, especially in the cold winter." I finally found a nice way to describe them.
9:00PM
I decided to do some last minute mining before the ice around Kappa Mine melted. I reached a floor where there was water but when I used my fishing rod I couldn't reel in anything before it got away (unless it was garbage).
I think I need a better rod but Saibara, the blacksmith, can't upgrade my rod any further. Oh well. I brought back a lot of stones for Zack to ship. I found my favorite stones, the sand rose, but since I had a few on my shelf at home already, I didn't keep any.
I went to the New Year's Eve Noodles Festival in Rose Square. Ann was there and we both stuffed our faces with buckwheat noodles until we couldn't stuff anymore in. She asked me why I didn't go watch the sunrise with Cliff this year or ask him to come to the Near Year Eve Noodles Festival with me.
Cliff and I are supposed to be a couple.
I think Ann noticed I didn't want to talk about that so she suggested we see if we could take any leftovers home. Usually there's just loads of buckwheat flour left and that's just what we got.
I wonder if I can use it for a stew?

Happy Spring and New Year!
Has it really been 4 years since I came here? I've been on this farm for 4 years. That's something. I don't know what exactly but it has to be something.
7:40AM
I wore my favorite tomato red overalls today and planned to take Dog to the beach to play frisbee. When I went outside, Mayor Thomas was there letting me know my mailbox was full of letters. (I still think it's weird the mayor is also the mailman here). He wished me a happy new year and hoped I'd be coming to the festival this evening. I offered him some breakfast but he said he had to make preparations. That's when I realized I couldn't take Dog to the beach today since I have to get through Rose Square (where the festival is held) to get there.
After he left, I checked my mail and it made me smile. I think I got a New Year's card from everybody this year. Everyone except Won and Zack. I even got one from Kai. His letters always make me smile. I can't wait to see him this summer. I got more pineapples for him.
Ann sent me a letter that said the same thing as last year. "Come see me at the inn whenever you're feeling lonely!" She's a sweet friend. Whenever I do go there and it's a slow day we chat and laugh while having some of her cooking.

The New Year's Festival was delicious as always. And Ann and I got to take home all the leftover rice cakes we could carry again.
I hope this year will be a happy one.

Remember:
-Rain tomorrow
-Bess will give birth next week!
1:10PM
I'm going to play frisbee with Dog today but since I'll be by Won's shop, I'm going to drop by to give him his New Year's gift and buy a new ball for Dog.
I'm not going to wear my gloves this time.
9:40PM
I messed up. But it was funny. When I got to the beach, I realized I forgot to bring Dog with me. I made a mental note to play fetch with him when I got back.
Won and Zack wished me a late Happy New year when I entered. Just like last year, Zack said he expects my farm to do even better than last year. Won says he expects rarer items from me to sell to him ("Or you could just give me them," he added quietly with a wink). When Zack left after I bought a new ball, I showed Won the moon stone. His eyes gleamed along with the lenses of his glasses when he realized what it was.
He did it again. The touch-look-time-stop thing. He did it and said thank you. His hands are soft. I wonder if he felt weird touching my hard hands. What's the point of wearing gloves when they don't help?
