Spring 4 (Thursday) / 730G, 42 Lumber
-Full Forage, but do not pick up one of the Edible Herbs (you need free hands to pick up the dog later).
-Before heading back to the farm to sell, pick up your dog in the Crossroads and head to the Vineyard.

-Karen's schedule has her at the Vineyard 100% of the time on Thursdays, she'll be outside the cellar.
