Current Appointments:

Spring 13, 11:00am:
Roscoe and his apprentice are coming to fix pasture fence (have sympathy cookies for girl prepared).

Spring 28, 4:30pm:

Attend the Harvest Goddess Festival, see Rosalie dance, and maybe learn more about the Harvest Goddess.

Things to Remember:

Fall, Year 0:
(9) Bought run-down ranch, needs lots of work. Moved to Meadow View; nice not to have to deal with people. Social obligations too exhausting, feel hollow. Must work hard to improve ranch and find a purpose.
(14) Had barn rebuilt, painted cheery color. Much nicer now.

Winter, Year 0:
(1) Can't make much progress in winter. Everything frozen.
(7) First birthday in new place. Celebrated alone. Was slightly lonely, but not that bad. Bought full-grown cow and two lambs as practical birthday present; cow (named it Milkshake) producing milk so have some income. Sheep hopefully grown and ready to shear by late Spring, Summer.
(20) Making plans for improvements once better weather comes.

Spring, Year 1:
(1) Got information on farm renovations from Roscoe. Poor apprentice doesn't seem to want to be there, but don't want to get involved. Bought supplies to begin kitchen garden; Harper's Grocery might be new customer soon.
(3) Tilled and planted kitchen garden; had surprise visit from Rosalie from the bar, and sold milk to new flower shop owner, Sunny. Brought up festivals; sound interesting, might go to one.
(6) Visited Powell Farm to ask Davis for gardening tips. Very useful. Very enthusiastic helper. Liked my cookies; his sister might stop by.
(13)
(14) Attended Harvest King Festival. Congrats to Rosalie; maybe next time I'll actually participate.
(25) Woken up by strange fisherman complaining about my pond. He threw Colin in! But I got his precious fishing lure.

Address Book:

The Mayor: Showed me around when I first arrived. Good source of information about town.

Acquaintance

Roscoe Carpenter: Local carpenter, does good work. Very enthusiastic about his job. I respect his work ethic and professionalism.

Acquaintance

Benny Harper: Owns the grocery. Surprisingly helpful. Interested in buying milk products, but must install fridge area first. (Note: Remember to return his gardening books.)

Acquaintance

Alsetessa Pine: Not sure if actually breeds animals or just has chronic Snow White syndrome. Bought Milkshake and both lambs from this winter. Animals in good health, friendly. Nice that she checks in on them regularly but is occasionally overbearing. Tips good, but worth regular invasion? Not a bad person. ~~Why is her hair green?~~

Indifferent

Natly Powell: Not actually sure what her name was. Roscoe's unwilling apprentice. Roscoe's a good worker but can't help but feel sympathy. Obviously doesn't want to work there. A bit sassy.

Aquaintance

Rosalie Travers: A bit talkative. Likes discussing others' business too much, I think. On the other hand, very knowledgeable about the town so that's useful. Friendly about it too. Also makes a good vodka lemonade. Will just try to avoid when not feeling up to talking.

Indifferent

Sunny Smith: Also from the city and new here. Friendly but not nosy. Client.

acquaintance

Davis Powell: Friendly farmer down the road. Very... enthusiastic. Helpful though. I might visit more often— for gardening tips.

indifferent

Fisherman Augie: Woke me up at 7am to rant about my pond, then threw Colin into it. Not a pleasant encounter.
