I spent my day foraging and just exploring to see what was new for summer. When I got back home, I saw some glowing orbs around my property. At first I thought they were ghosts or something, and then I realized they were just fireflies. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Summer, Day 2<\/h5>\n
Today I bought a few pepper seeds, wheat seeds, and radish seeds. I planted some of them on my farm, and then I went down to the beach to relax for a bit. I picked up some seashells while I was there, but I didn’t get much work done.<\/p>\n
After I went to sleep, I heard a loud rumbling sound.<\/p>\n
Summer, Day 3<\/h5>\n
As I started the day, a message informed me of some news: There had been an earthquake overnight! That explained the noise I heard. The first letter I received in summer was from Mayor Lewis. He wanted me to find his purple “shorts.” I’m not sure why “shorts” is in quotation marks, but this can’t be good. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

At the community center, I donated a few items (a sweet pea, spice berry, and grape) to complete the summer foraging bundle. A new scroll was unlocked on the bulletin board.<\/p>\n
I noticed that the boulders leading to the railroad (which I tried to blow up with a cherry bomb last time), were now gone! Apparently the earthquake cleared the rubble away, opening up a new path! (Seems a bit backwards, but I’m not complaining).<\/p>\n
I followed the path, and found a bath house!<\/p>\n

There are locker rooms and a spa. You can get into the water to refill your energy gauge! This place looks really well maintained for a place that was separated from all of humanity by a wall of boulders. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

The new path also led to a train station. But it didn’t look like the train was coming anytime soon.<\/p>\n Today, I worked on clearing up some weeds, sticks, and rocks from my property. I also talked with some people, including the wizard, who I hadn’t visited in a while. I didn’t get much else done, though.<\/p>\n I used my hoe to till the soil to make a fourth area to plant seeds. I put down some assorted summer seeds. I might as well use them while they’re in season.<\/p>\n Over at the mine, I worked my way down to level 20 for the first time. Not only did that unlock the level 20 elevator, but I also found this treasure chest. A steel smallsword was inside.<\/p>\n I hung out in the Stardrop Saloon in the evening, before heading home for the night.<\/p>\n I went to the blacksmith’s place today, and I found Mayor Lewis inside. He said he was collecting Clint’s business tax. Uh-oh, do I owe tax too?<\/p>\n Clint processed three geodes for me, which I dug up in the mine yesterday. They contained slate, jagoite, and a thunder egg. The first two were new ones for me, so I donated them to the museum next door.<\/p>\n As I was walking through town, a notice appeared on-screen. It said “a train is passing through Stardew Valley.” But I was nowhere near the train station, so I didn’t bother trying to see it. Maybe another time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"The](\"http:\/\/www.jvgs.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/sd-trainstation.jpg\")
