A/N: Future updates will be uncertain. But it's not like this is a great story anyway. Slower updates wont really bother people. Just giving you a warning in case I have trouble. A small glitch happened in the game. It made it in the diary. Oh... by the way... Merry Christmas.

Entry 138 day 11 Summer

It rained again. But today was okay. I don't have to worry about fodder anyway. Unless it rains every day. I harvested the last of the Strawberries and went fishing. Also, I visited Vesta and Celia like I do every other day. I decided to make Marlin something for dinner. I made him Light pickles. Using just one turnip. Not very much of a meal. It's just salad. Well I hardly make him food. So he'll probably appreciate it.

Entry 139 day 12

Another short rainy day. I caught a few fish and saw Nathan standing in the rain with his head up and eyes closed. Such an odd boy. But, he probably gets that from me. After all, I do talk to myself in the mirror.

I went over to Vesta's and I thought I saw Vesta and Celia in an argument. I couldn't hear what they were saying. And it was over before I walked up. Celia looked fine. She said that it was hot and asked how everyone was at Natsume farm. But when I spoke with my sis-in-law, she had a red angry was fine later. They're usually laid back. I wonder if they had a disagreement. Well, as long as their fine now, I guess that's what counts.

Entry 140 day 13

My usual routine now is that I wake up at 6:00am using my alarm clock. Then I greet Marlin, who wakes up right after me. Next, I go in the living room to watch TV. Mostly to check the weather and see if a good show is on. After that, I go back in my room and set the alarm to 7:00am. I get some sleep then Nathan knocks on the door and says he watered the crops. Then I go out and do my work. And see that Nathan has let Romeo outside for me. That's what usually happens. I don't have to feed Romeo anymore. He and Danny feed themselves. So I don't have to worry about that.

Van came and I sold him some things. Including the golden wool. I made a good deal. I think...

I saw Lumina and she greeted me with a big "Good Morning!" We usually don't meet before 12:00. So I guess she was happy. It feels good to see her. She's like a sister to me. So is Celia.

Nathan went to Vesta's again. Very good. My orange, peach and banana tree have fruit. I'll gather them tomorrow. I saw Muffy at night. She said Summer nights are romantic. Well, I mostly did farm work. So not much else happened.

Entry 141 day 14

I was very busy cutting grass, picking up a lot of fruit and washing the animals. I saw Nathan walk off the farm. I went after him a little later. But I couldn't find him. I looked all over on my farm and finally found him eating in the kitchen. I would have been upset for that. But it's not like he did anything wrong. Plus, he smiled as he said he watered the crops earlier. That melted me. His smile, is a weapon.

Entry 142 day 15

I picked some Happy Lamp flowers. Tartan always seems to talk about mixing flowers with crops. And saying they can have certain effects. So I started picking so I could eventually try that. Speaking of picking, I picked all of the turnips. 26 in all. If I matched that with fish and carrots, we would never have to worry about wether we could have fish stew or not. I know Marlin doesn't care much for sweets, but I made him a new dessert. Fruit punch. Using three fruit. We'll see if he likes it.

Entry 143 day 16

Marlin liked the fruit punch. I think he liked it more than the light pickles. Back to my farm. Keko is giving less milk. And it's rank B. Uh-oh.

Anyway, I went to the forest and visited the elves. When I was back at home. I saw Marlin in the living room. I talked with him and he asked if I watched TV. I said I do occasionally. Then Marlin went on to say he wondered if he should watch. 'Cause he hears there are some good farming shows. I watch the farming quizzes and such. But I really like the entertainment channel. Where it has a cool show called Detective Wait-and-see. Star trip is interesting and the documentaries can be funny.

Marlin and Nathan were talking earlier and I don't think it was pleasant. Oh well, there isn't much I can do about that. I made some fruit punch and put it in the fridge and ate some for myself. A girl's gotta eat.

Entry 144 day 17

I had to pick most of the Watermelons, cut grass for fodder, wash the animals and etc. Thus is a farmers life.

Marlin suggests that I grow some hybrid trees. I guess I could use Tartan to do that. But not yet. We aren't in a rush anyway. Keko is really running out of milk. I'm hardly making money with her. No more calves. So I'll rely on eggs, wool and crops. Still haven't gotten back to 40,000G. Well, the amount was higher. Anyway, we probably won't get back there any time soon.

Entry 145 day 18

Van came, so I sheared Cody and sold stuff. I picked a lot of the crops. Which reminds me, I have to buy more seeds from Vesta. The trees stopped giving me fruit. But I think the apple or grape, if not both, will start giving me fruit in a few days. All of my animals, except Stan, love me as much as they can. But my horse has been stuck at the same level of affection for a very long time. He doesn't really care if I nuzzle or check on him. Which he used to love a while back.

Today, while we were riding, I thought he may not have eaten. So we stopped and I got off to give him some fodder I had with me. I think he appreciated it. Because he likes me a little more. I don't know why he's not like the others. But maybe packing fodder while we go out is a good plan. Even when that horse of mine would refuse sometimes because he already ate. Maybe Stan needs food in order to start liking my attention towards him again. I can only hope. But I have a feeling that will take a while. Something to add to my to do list. Have my horse love me as much as he can like the others. I like my horse. And I want him to be happy.

Entry 146 day 19

I bought a lot of tomato, carrot, and yam seeds from Vesta. And I decided to have Tartan try mixing a Happy Lamp flower and a tomato seed. I didn't think anything happened. Until I finally noticed that the tomato seed could be planted in any season or soil. That is very good. I guess Tartan did a good job. I planted that one tomato seed since it doesn't matter when I plant it.

It started to rain, so I headed home and put the animals away. Then I went fishing and caught a fish. When there isn't much to be done, I usually do that. Tomorrow's the last day of Summer. It'll be very busy for me. I actually hope it rains.

Entry 147 day 20

I'm tired again. It's a good thing I only have to plant once a month. It rained like I wanted. So that helped. Then it stopped so I was able to wash my animals. My sheep, Cody, ran really fast. It was scary because it felt like he was chasing me. I never had to run as fast as I can to get ahead of one of the animals. Let's just hope he doesn't do that again.

Anyway, I had a feeling it would rain again. So I put all of them up. I was right. I planted the seeds at 3:00pm and was done by 7:00. I had to do a lot of work. But at least I can relax tomorrow. Just a little though. But it'll be better than today.

Tomorrow is the first day of Fall. I'm halfway done with the year. Takakura says that cows don't like the heat. So they give less milk. That probably explains why I get a lot of good milk in Winter. Too bad Keko probably wont do that this year. Oh well...
