Brutus' Birthday: Mithril Ore: 5

For Material Stone:  Birthday present?  Brutus is taking and thanking.  Is good item.  Good choice.

Harvested Great White Roses and Giant Potatoes today.

After giving the H.G. a Strawberry, got her next event.

HG: Freyashawk!  How delightful to have a visit from you!  You have worked so very dilgently ever since you came here!  And that has brought the light back to this place again!  For that your HArvest Goddess thanks you!  My Harvest Sprites seem to have perked up and returned to their usual liveliness!  Your Harvest Goddess is truly thrilled that you came here!  Really and truly!  I was a little skeptical at first about befriending a mortal like this, but it's all worked out!  Tee hee hee!  The Harvest Goddess and a mortal farmer... An odd couple, but let's tay good friends!  I just love you, Freyashawk!  You're positively adorable!  Tee hee hee...!

Happy Goddess
Got: Pink Diamond

Monday, 25 Autumn

Got Harvest God's Event after giving him an Apple tonight:

H.God:   Eh=heh-heh!  Glad you came, glad you came!  I've been waiting for you, mortal!  It must be a lot of work to climb all the way up here, eh?  Don't go too fast!  Eh, there's one little thing I wanted to ask... Have you seen the Harvest Goddess recently...?  I, eh, I... well, I'm in love with that cutie of a Harvest Goddess, but that's a secret!  Don't tell, eh?  Next time you see the Harvest Goddess, give her the Harvest God's affectionate regards!  Eh-heh-heh!

Harvest God's Crush
Got: Amethyst

Dewy at 2 Notes;  Hey, you!  I'm... I"m gonna water your crops, okay!  I am, so just deal with it!

Just conversation or will he water a few?

Sunday, 24 Autumn

First time I've found Iris on my farm... early morning, to the left of my farmhouse.
Iris:  When I was a little girl, I used to go watch and wonder at the seeds sprouting up in th efarm's fields...

Legendary Meuniere: 1200G

Great Hot Pepper: 120G
Habanero: 100G
  A variety of hot pepper that thrives in swampy areas.

Mandrake: 150G
  Magical carrot that thrives in lowland areas.

Sunny Red: 100G
  Fall flower that has bright orange petals.

Point Values in Autumn Cooking Contest

 This is a peculiar situation.  It makes sense that the Autumn Cooking Contest, the second of its kind, has higher requirements than the Spring one.  I believe I won with a Fried Egg in that one.  Here, however, there were surprising results.  I do not know if the point values are constant or random, but it appears that they must be set in advance even if random, as I tried again and again and the only dish with sufficient point values to win was the Grilled Bluegill.  Ironically, Grilled Rainbow Trout, made with Great Butter instead of regular Butter, was worth only 1200 Points.

Winning with the Grilled Bluegill at 2000 points, I received an Onyx Ore as a 'grand prize'.  Although every one who participated was supposed to get a prize, I received nothing more, either as winner or even when I was third place or did not place at all...  So the only participation prize is given the first time you enter the Contest which, for me, was in Spring.

Grilled Bluegill: 2000 Points
Got Onyx Ore
Emily 1514 points
Tony: 1359

Great Fried Egg: did not win
Emily 1755 points
Tony: 1684
Iris: 1466

It says every one gets participation prize, but I think that is only the first time you enter.  Got nothing.

Great Meuniere did not win!
1887 Iris won
Tony: 1592
Emily: 1528

Blissful Bread (did not make myself)
1798 Tony
Iris in third with 1376 points... did not even show!

Event ends at 5.00 p.m.  The only dish I had that would get enough points was the Grilled Bluegill, ironically.

If I enter Grilled Rainbow Trout, made with Great Butter, it won't win!  Why does the Grilled Bluegill get more points?  Tony with less than 1700 points won that one.  I got third place with 1200 Points!  How bizarre!


23 Autumn, Cooking Contest

Hanna is in my house at 6.00 a.m.

Goooood morning, Freyashawk!  Today is our town's Cooking Contest!  Participants get scored on the dishes that they enter, and the higheest score wins!  If you want to compete, talk to me between 10 a.m. and 2.59 p.m.  I'll be in the town square.  Hope you'll take part, Freyashawk!

She is at four notes... wonder if it will increase at all through participation in the contest.

When I reload, Hunter is there immediately after;  I done got some good news.  Sonate gave birth to a baby.  Let's head over to the barn.  I wanna show y'all the precious thing.

The mother has not increased in loyalty (notes) and the baby has only 1/2 musical note so I see no advantage to using the potion particularly apart from being cheaper than buying a cow.

Sam at 3 notes speaks of bringing his daughter to my farm.  'One of dese days I'm gonna bring my daughter ta yiour farm, Freyashawk.  I'd like ta do dat...

After the contest:  Geddoudda here.  where did yiu learn to cook like dat?  Youse gotta let me try dat grub sometimes...

I'm a happy guy, you know why?  Cause I got to know a stand up gal like youse!

Not every one speaks of the contest.

Iris will say:  You're a good cook, Freyashawk!  I was surprised just how good!

Hanna at 4 notes:  I'll tell you what, I'm going to cook up that tasty soup I remember when I was little, yes, indeedy!

Emily at 5:  When I was little, the vegetables I ate came from your farm and they were delicious!  I want some more!

Hunter: Well, I aint much fer cookin' except the basics!  I just marvel at you winnin' that Cookin' Festival.

The people that speak of it did not even compete, apart from Iris, who was in some results.  The people who competed were Tony and Emily.

Sam stands next to my farm tonight.  I need to make a full schedule of every one who visits.

Thursday, 21 Autumn: Hanna's Birthday

I have been giving almost every one Most Favourite Gifts on a daily basis.  All the Eligible Bachelors have a full five Musical Notes... most of the Eligible Girls almost have the maximum.  Hanna is not at five...

I find her in the Square at 8.30 a.m.

Hanna: Wishing me a happy birthday, are you, Freyashawk?    Thanks!  Another year older, hoo boy...!

Hanna's Birthday
Got: Romanesco Seeds: 5

I give her my last Onion.

Hanna:  How about tghat!  A birthday present for me?  I love it!  Tee-hee!  Thank you, Freyashawk!

She was at 3 1/2 musical notes... now at a full 4 Musical Notes.

Have a total of 10 Sunny Reds now, but selling them to Sam does not unlock the seeds at Iris' Stand.

At 9.00 a.m., Hanna and April are both in the Square (in separate locations), Hunter is in his animal paddock, Iris is down by the river to the left of Hunter's house and Luke is outside of his house.

Tuesday, 19 Autumn: Earth and Ore Event, Mandrake Seeds Unlocked

I reloaded and reloaded until I had a total of 30 Mandrakes... kept getting a total of 29!  Finally though, had it and sold them to Sam.  This UNLOCKED Mandrake Seeds!  Huzzah!  Now I can focus on the Angel Lantern...

In one result, the six Crimson Seeds I had planted (reward) produced one Killer Tomato but I needed the Mandrake Seeds more I believe.

At 7.00 p.m. I found Andrea on my original farmland, (near side of the river), in the southwest corner in the same position that I often find Gilbert or April.  Her Event triggered when I spoke to her.

Andrea:  Hey, Freyashawk!  Still hard at work?  Don't overwork yourself!  But I have to say, you've really turned this farm into something impressive!  It's as if since you came, the whole place was suddenly spruced up with a colourful paint job!  How can I put it... It's like you see the world in a whole different light than I do.  I want to know more about you, Freyashawk!  Tell me about yourself!

My choices now:

I'd rather not.

Sure!

And I want to hear more about you.

I chose:  And I want to hear more about you.

Andrea:  Huh?!  Is that a line you picked up somewhere?  Even if it is, it's a nice thing to say to a girl.  I think we've got a lot to talk about!  You and I may march to the beat of different drummers, but I feel like we have something in common.  At the very least, just like you, I moved here because this place captured my imagination!  You and I should work together to protect this place, whatever it takes to do that.  I love the voice of the rocks!  I love the voices of people!  But the voice I really love is yours!  So when you come to the bar, use that voice of yours, and let's get into conversation!  Ah-ha-ha!

Earth and Ore
Got: Ruby

If I had chosen:  I'd rather not.

Andrea:  Aw, don't say that!  Well, anyway, even if you won't tell me, your actions will!  You and I may march to the beat... etc.

If I had chosen:  Sure!

Andrea:  Really?  Great!  That's what I like about you, Freyashawk!  You're a straight shooter.  You and I may march to the beat... etc.

I can experience this as early as 4.00 p.m.

While i was walking about, looking for Andrea, I discovered something very useful!  I had been afraid to cut down any trees on my farm in places where I remembered planting fruit trees but in fact, the game distinguishes between Trees YOU have planted and ones that crop up spontaneously.  If it is a tree that you planted, you will see a prompt asking if you wish to use your axe on the tree!  So you can cut down trees on your farm without any anxiety that you may have destroyed your precious fruit trees!

17 Autumn, Luke's Birthday

Selling 20 Mandrake to Sam will not unlock Mandrake Seeds, so perhaps I will be unable to unlock them in this first autumn.

Luke:  Oh, is it my birthday?  Thanks for remembering!

Luke's Birthday
Yellow Dahlia Seeds: 5

For Egg, Luke:  Whoa!  You got me a birthday present?  I love it!  Great gift!  Thanks so much!

All species of Fish may be a Most Favourite for Gilbert.  I gave him a Goby after failing to catch any Mosquitofish and he showed red hearts... only difference is that Goby is worth more when shipped!

Flower Mutations:

Pink Carnations are the autumn mutation of regular Carnations.  Got Pink Carnations and Great Carnations today.

I walk into the Sprite Tree at 10.20 p.m.  It is a cloudy night.

Dewy is shaking his head back and forth.  His eyes are shut.

Dewy:  Hey, what's the big idea!  Who invited you, you big lunk?  I'm busy here, can't you see?  I don't have time to play with you just 'cause you showed up!

Rowan:  Dewy, what a pack of lies!  You've been whining for Freyashawk to visit recently!

Blossom:  Why do you have to be such a liar, Dewy?!  Let's play together and have looooooooots and lots of fun!  (two musical hearts)

Dewy:  Waaaaahhhh, you shuddup!  You tattletale!  (1 1/2 hearts only)  WAAAHHHHHH!  Freyashawk!  Don't pay any attention to what they said!

Dewy's Dilemma
Got Pink Spinach Seeds: 5

Rowan is at 2 1/2 hearts, the highest of the three.

Monday, 18 Autumn:  Rainy Day

I impregnated my youngest adult Cow by using Miracle Potion.  Will see how long it takes.  When I left the barn, she moved ot a stall... now I cannot interact with her, which is fine by me.  I have far more than sufficient chorse.

Thursday 26 May 2016

Thursday, 14 Autumn: Hunter's Birthday

Went to Hunter's Shop.

Hunter:  Huh... Guess it is muh birthday... I always clean forget it...
Hunter's Birthday
 Miracle Potion

Gave him Millk:  A birthday gift, huh?  An' it's somethin' I like.  Ain't that a nice gift... Thanks...

Of course I had to refuse to offer him the Blue Feather before I even could talk to the man... it's like that with all the Bachelors now.  I need to decide upon one to marry.  It will be either Tony or Luke for a start... like both of them.  I would like Gilbert, apart from his desire for fish, except that his endless versifying is a little annoying.   I will marry all of them in the end, but will not save the results.  Gareth isn't too bad, once you get to know him.  Hunter has that awful way of speaking.

Sadly, selling 15 Mandrake to Sam does not unlock the seeds so one must sell at least 20 I expect, and possibly 25.  Will try to find out before the season's end.

Wednesday, 13 Autumn: Harvest Goddess 2nd Event

Yesterday I unlocked White Celery by selling 10 to Sam.  I could not unlock Mandrake when I sold 10 to Sam, nor when I sold 12... I have a theory now.  If the mutation is a 1st Generation Mutation, you can unlock it by shipping 10 but if it is a 2nd Generation Crop, you need more... whether 15 or 20 I do not know yet.

Today after giving a Strawberry to the HG, I experienced her next event:

HG:  Tee-hee-hee!  How nice of you to visit!  Your Harvest Goddess has her ways of knowing just how hard you are working!  Please keep being kidn of my Harvest Sprites!  I know it's not easy to restore the lost memories...  But if any one can do it, it's my plucky Freyashawk!  Your Harvest Goddess has confidence in you!  Keep on making memories with all your friends in the town!
