A/N: Heh heh... sorry I still haven't finished the last few entries in Winter 6. I feel bad because I had time to do it but... I was playing Harvest Moon Save the homeland. There's a good chance I wont have Winter 6 up next week. But I should have it finished the following week. This is the second to the last chapter before Tina's diary is finished. Thank you for reading this far. Only a little more to go before it's over.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon.
Entry 232 Day 21 Fall
It's the first day of Fall! The rain continued from yesterday, but it stopped shortly. I had a feeling it was going to be another rain, stop, rain cycle. So I prepared myself for that.
The apple, grape and other hybrid trees look almost ready to drop fruit. That's good. And I harvested one S rank watermelon.
Let's see… I did a small amount of fishing before rushing home. The feeling it was going to rain was stronger. After an hour or so on my farm, the rain started up as predicted. So I put my animals up. It was still early, so I hung out with Nathan in the tool shed before going to the food storage to spend time with Marlin. I went to talk with Tartan and then I walked back to the house with Marlin.
I played with Romeo a little before getting myself some dinner. I was going to make Sashimi from the fish I caught and store it away, but we have plenty. I decided to make it for Marlin. I forgot… does he like Sashimi? Well I'm sure he'll tell me tomorrow. Today was a little boring. But at least I had plenty of time to spend with my family. And that's important to me.
Entry 233 Day 22
It was raining hard, but it let up. Again. The cycle of rain, stop, rain continues. And next month, it'll be snow, stop, snow. Today was relaxing though. I harvested all of the watermelons and shook the Apple, Grape and now called Jurum trees for their fruit. Van will be in the valley tomorrow. I don't have a lot of golden eggs to sell. Then again, I may get another one tomorrow.
I saw Takakura and Galen talking. I didn't know they knew each other. Interesting. During the break in rain, Danny and I ran around the farm for fun. Marlin watched. He probably thinks it's odd for someone my age to be running around racing her dog. But I'm young at heart. It was a lot of fun. I should do that more often. Hmm… I wonder who would win in a race between my husband and I.
Entry 234 Day 23
My chickens refused to lay eggs today. Oh well, I was still able to sell 2 golden eggs to Van.
Nathan hung out with me in the field again. His interest in animals is growing more and more. He was staring at Cody the sheep for a while. Then he moved on to look at Katlyn and Isadora.
Anyway, I saw Celia outside of Vesta's farm. She must have been on her way to the villa. She and I talked for a while. She apparently uses fallen leaves as bookmarks. I guess that's an easy way to get a bookmark.
I also talked with Lumina and bought 5 more watermelon seeds from Vesta. I went to Takakura's house and had Tartan mix the seeds with Happy Lamp flowers. It was getting late so I will plant them tomorrow. Takakura and I talked a little and that was pretty much it. Oh, and I made over 1,000G with the profit from the fruit I sold.
Entry 235 Day 24
The weather man said it was going to ran, so I kept my animals inside. Sure enough, it started raining around 11:00am. I planted the watermelon seeds and shook some fruit down from the trees.
I paid I quick visit to Vesta and Celia before going to Turtle Swamp to fish. The rain stopped after I cast the line. But I didn't rush home to let my animals out. I knew that it would probably start raining again so there was no point. I caught a few minor fish and it was almost 6:00pm by the time I was done. It actually didn't rain again to my surprise. I whistled for my horse and rode him back home. I put Stan back in the barn and that's really it.
Nathan is getting even more interested in animals than I thought. I can't remember the last time he even spoke about crops. Well I must admit, I care more about our animals than the crops too. Even though my son cares more about animals than crops, he's equally skilled in both. Makes me wonder if he's surpassed me without my knowledge.
Around 7:00pm, Marlin said something that depressed Nathan. So I tried cheering him up by giving him a flower. Poor Nathan… it makes me sad to see his head droop. I want him to always be happy. Speaking of happy things, tomorrow is the Harvest Festival! I'm so excited!
Entry 236 Day 25
The grass in the field is turning brown, but it's alright. I had fun today. Going to the bar to celebrate the Harvest festival with Vesta, Celia and Marlin was a blast. Once again, Marlin insulted my cooking. I can honestly say he's joking, since he practically begs me to make him food. But Vesta still gets steamed at him. Always threatening to throw him out. Anyway, with good food, good friends and my dear husband with me, I was as happy as I could be. I still am.
I picked the last of the fruit so there won't be any more until next year. I went fishing and caught a lot of Colombo fish. I was hoping to catch one worth while fish, but I guess it doesn't matter. I fish more for killing time. Plus, it's relaxing.
All in all, it was a pretty good day. This year's Harvest festival was great. I bet next year will be even better. Vesta and Celia keep telling me to go every year. I won't disappoint them. Spending time with them is a lot of fun.
Entry 237 Day 26
It was a pretty dull day. I just took care of the animals, visited Vesta and Celia, and then went fishing. I caught a lot of fish so I'm thinking about selling them.
We're not making much money at this point so any small amount would be good. It's not that we're poor or I'm greedy. I just want to be able to say I did a good job when compared to other years. Basically, I want to prove I was and still am a provider for the family. I'm happy with the amount of money we have now. I never thought I would even see that much money. Still… I want to have a steadily growing amount of money. If something bad happens like… all our animals are suddenly struck will illness, then I want to make sure we have enough money for such an emergency. Also, I would like to eventually expand the farm, and make repairs to the old rusted buildings. I'd like to see this old farm renewed.
Entry 238 Day 27
Marlin complemented me again. I always love that. Anyway, it started raining so I put my animals up. Then I went to go visit my sis, Vesta. I started to leave my farm and I saw Nathan was on his way there too. We went there together and I went in Vesta's house to talk to her. But I noticed Celia wasn't there. I figured I'd just see her later.
I walked out of Vesta's house and saw Nathan looking at her crops. I talked with him a little before leaving to go fishing. I saw and talked to Lumina and Galen on my way to Turtle Swamp. I kept going and was almost there when I suddenly felt a little lonely. I usually have Stan with me at least. Once I arrived I saw the turtle. That made me happy. I had company after all. I started fishing and I noticed he wasn't walking around. I looked back and saw that he was sleeping. How adorable. I continued to fish and caught a lot of them. Just when I was thinking of leaving, the storm picked up. And I knew that sound of thunder meant a storm was coming. I started going back home but the storm was getting bad. I couldn't see well.
I suddenly heard the sound of someone playing a guitar. I knew that had to be Gustafa. That meant I had to be right next to his home. I knew the path home from there. I just had to go a little to the right and up. I ran up the path, but I noticed a familiar silhouette to my right. It was on the bridge and looked like my son. I strayed from my path and went over. I was right. Nathan had to have been at his Aunt's all day. We walked back home together. It was nice. Well that's all for now. Van comes tomorrow.
Entry 239 Day 28
It didn't rain. Well… it's actually raining as I write. It's bedtime though so it doesn't matter. Anyway, I sheared Cody and sold gold eggs and wool. That, and with all the fish I sold I made a nice profit.
Oh, when I went into Vesta's house, I was surprised to see Nathan in there. He usually hangs out outside. He left around 11:00am. But then he went into Vesta's… Shed? Storage? Whatever. I knew he was going to hang out there all day again. That makes me happy.
I went fishing again and sold more fish to Van. I finished just in time to walk home with Nathan again. Except I had to keep stopping for my son. I was riding Stan and so he's a little faster. Once home and having the animals go back in the barn, I ate dinner with Nathan. As I occasionally do. I gave Marlin Light Pickles for dinner. And like I said, it is now raining.
The grass in the field is completely brown, so I wont cut any new fodder for a while. That way my animals will still have something to eat outside. Winter's coming up. I'm thinking about taking it easy for that season. I want to enjoy it.
Entry 240 Day 29
When I woke up I was surprised to see that it was snowing. I had wanted to wash the animals, but the weather made it so I couldn't. Then it started raining . I went on with my work and hoped it would stop. I started to fish when I noticed the rain was stopping.
I whistled for Stan and rode back to my farm. I was about to let the other animals out when I noticed something. The rain had stopped, but Danny was still in his doghouse. I looked at Danny in confusion. Why would he be in his doghouse if the rain had stopped? The answer came when some snow started to fall. It was a little frustrating, but I had Stan go back in the barn. No washing today.
I looked up at the sky before going into the house. It was hard to tell the snow from the stars. But it was a pretty sight. Hopefully, I'll get to wash my animals tomorrow. The last day of Fall. I can hear that it's raining again now. The weather sure is wacky today.
Entry 241 Day 30
It was snowing this morning. I really hoped that it would stop. It eventually did, so I scrambled to wash the animals before it would rain or snow again. I made it just in time. Just as I finished washing the last animal it started to rain.
I left my farm for a little and ran into Vesta. It looked like she was walking back from Romana's villa. Vesta seems to like the rain a lot. She said that it was great that we don't have to water crops when it rains like this. Lumina happened to walk up so I talked with her as well.
Then I realized that Celia had to be alone at Vesta's farm. So I ran over to check on her. She was watching the crops and said she wished Spring would hurry up and get here. She always says that. But that's one of the reasons she's my best friend. Celia is dependable. She isn't the type to switch from one thing to another. She knows what she does and does not like. Muffy is a different story. Not that I don't like Muffy. I just used her as an example.
Anyway… Fall is over. It's one of my favorite seasons. Marlin likes it too. Not too hot and not too cold. I also love the Harvest festival. I received Romeo from Romana in Fall too. One of the main reasons I like Fall is because of what happened my first Fall here. It wasn't always happy though, considering that was the first time Marlin snapped at me. But back then, was the first time I actually went on what could have been called a date with him by the river. It was during Fall that I was positive that I wanted to be Marlin's wife. We've been together for many years now. Well tomorrow is the first of Winter. My other favorite season.
