Its funny going from the most inactive and boring season (Winter) to the most assiduous and organized season (Spring). I'm going from zero crops and an overly abundant amount of time to waste, and still having the ability to go to bed by 6pm, to a season where I'm growing more than I have ever even attempted and not having a moment of freedom and being lucky to get to bed by 11pm. I'm now growing 24 plots of crops, 16 plots of grass, and 16 plots of flowers (actually are needed to get honey and a power berry...) Luckily, grass never needs watering, and the flowers I'm not dedicated 100% to, so they can miss a watering on a holiday. I spent most of last night doing farm math of costs, profits, harvest days vs. holidays, and making a schedule for the important events of the day. Its also the season that I plan on being married in, so I have to juggle presents and visits to up Karen to Red, then propose. The wedding a week later, so I need to plan well ahead and make sure that it doesn't fall on a holiday or a harvest day.
