A/N: Yes this slightly boring year is over! It's nice that Tina's life gets easier though. By the end of Winter you'll notice how much better her life is. Fodder issues, food issues, love and animal issues. These are no longer a problem. Tina is in a good place. Well... for now. These issues are resolved but not the ones that show up in year 4.

Entry 116 day 31 Winter

Romeo is currently meowing a lot. Anyway, it was a nice and clear day. So I quickly washed Cody and Nina. I picked flowers and passed them out to Nathan and my usual friends.

I also gave Marlin more S milk, and for our engagement anniversary, I gave him the Strawberry short cake. I ate some Sashimi and that's mostly it.

Nathan wrote something interesting in his diary. He wrote that he smelled something stinky from Vesta's fields. And that the smelly stuff must help crops grow. I'm positive that he's talking about fertilizer.

Let's see... other than catching a fish and seeing Mukumuku, that's all. The year has been excellent so far. It's hard to believe it's almost over.

Entry 117 day 32

I think Kaga is finally out of milk. I still have Keko to help so it's okay. I caught 2 fish today.

I saw Lumina start walking to the forest. It was raining and she said that the rain sounds peaceful. I think she's turning into Celia. Really.

I visited Vesta and Celia and then Dr. Hardy. Dr. Hardy told me to be careful so I wouldn't catch a cold. That was kind of him.

Well, Romeo is becoming quite vocal around me. And clingy. I almost miss the days when he was quiet and distant. Not caring if I'm around or not. He was much quieter then. If he becomes too bothersome, I can always leave him outside if it doesn't rain or snow. But I do like the fact that I was able to get him to like me. If only I knew how to make Stan like me more. But it's alright. As long as none of my animals hate me.

Entry 118 day 33

I sold milk to Van and talked with Vesta and Celia. Celia said she liked the sounds of crickets chirping. And she always says that Nathan is very cute. I talked to Lumina and saw Mukumuku again. That's really it. Nothing really interesting happened. Oh, and I'm positive Kaga is out of milk.

Entry 119 day 34

It snowed a little this morning. Nathan and I went to Vesta's together. Other than the usual, I made Earth soup and stew. To make stew, I used a potato, carrot and milk. I put those in the fridge. Snow now covers the ground. That is great. This winter is good so far, the best we've ever had.

Entry 120 day 35

It snowed a little then stopped. I decided to give Marlin the stew. I wonder if he'll like it. I caught 2 more fish and went to work in the field. Nathan was running all over the field looking at the animals. He keeps saying that he would like to work on the farm when he's older. That's good. 'Cause with all our animals, I'll need all the help I can get.

Entry 121 day 36

I caught a small but rare fish. Sharkshark. Or something like that. We have a lot of money. Current G is 40,950. Maybe I'll buy a lot of fertilizer again. The grass should be growing back soon. I hope to see a little green tomorrow. It snowed again. Nathan was very happy about that. He said, "Mom! It's snowing! Isn't it exciting?" Yeah, seeing the snow fall is very nice. I love it too.

Entry 122 day 37

I caught more fish and harvested the turnips. The carrots should be ready in a couple of days. And seriously, the potatoes should be done in years.

We seem to be having a weather pattern. Snow, stop then snow at night. By the way, no green today.

I caught Lumina as she was about to leave the valley. I'm not sure why she was going to the city. Lots of people go up that road and come back later. No need to worry, no one is moving away. Takakura goes there every day to go sell things I ask him to. I couldn't find Celia. Maybe she went to the city too.

I made fish stew using a fish, turnip and potato. I put some in the fridge and gave some to Marlin. I'm sure he liked it. Van will come for the last time this year tomorrow. I hope I see him. Even though we don't need the money. He's kinda my friend.

Entry 123 day 38

I saw the usual people including Galen. Also Mukumuku. I caught a fish and sold a bunch of things to Van. Like the last golden wool of the year. The grass is growing back. Well, half of it.

Marlin asked me to make him something. So I made him some Earth soup. He told me he noticed that I have been working really hard at cooking. And that the amount of dishes I can make have increased recently. Yeah! I can cook!

Later... I was outside by Danny's dog house. He suddenly jumped in his doghouse. I immediately thought that it was going to snow. So I ran and put the animals inside the barn. I came out and sure enough, it was snowing. Danny is such a useful dog. He's always been there to help when he can. That's most of what happened today. It's clear to tell that I trust my dog a lot. His senses are very sharp.

Entry 124 day 39

I ordered some bird feed. Tonight is the last night I have Takakura work this year. Well, technically he will still work tomorrow. Anyway, Tomorrow is the last day of the year. I'll try to relax and just have fun. Oh, I saw Muffy. She said that she may wear skimpy clothes, but she has poor circulation. Then she went on to say that she's freezing. Interesting. I wonder what her logic on her clothing in the Winter is. Nathan and I walked to Vesta's farm together again. I think it's raining now. It'll probably rain tomorrow. But that won't stop me from doing things.

Entry 125 day 40

This is it! I was actually able to harvest some potatoes. I spoke with Lumina, Vesta, Celia, Muffy, Nik, Nak, Flak, Takakura, Tartan, Galen and Mukukuku. All the milk from today went in the fridge along with one egg. Because the other 2 were fertilized. Heh, don't want to eat one of those by mistake. It was nice and clear. Mostly. Maybe kinda cloudy. Oh, and I did it. Romeo can't possibly love me any more then he does. Danny and I hung out and I spent the rest of the time with my family. I have 46,510 G. Over 200 stacks of fodder and I just ate some stew. I am very happy. I went out and looked at the stars.

Entry 126

I was looking at the practically empty shelves in the tool shed. When Nathan walked in through the door of the barn. I was surprised and turned to face him. When he popped up, he said hey. Then he said that he would brush the cows. He likes farm work and he would like to help out when he's older. I smiled and nodded. I wonder which Nathan wants to do more. Being a rancher or farmer. But maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself again. It'll be a while before he's old enough to decide such things. This years harvest has been good. Harvest can mean different things. I gained a lot from the harvest. And not just food or money. It's been a great year. I hope we all have many more together.
