Nature Day 2014

Today is Nature Day in America, also known as Earth Day. For the occasion, Tortimer actually stood up and got out of his chair. He was outside of town hall, handing out cool globes.

Tortimer: Today is Nature Day, sprout!Just don’t ask me what Octavian was doing standing in the doorway, because I don’t have a clue. Maybe he was protesting “Earth Day” and wanted it to be “Ocean Day” instead?

Anyway, here’s a look at the cool globe:

Me standing next to the cool globe I got from Tortimer on Nature Day.I went around to water flowers and found one new black rose. I also found one yesterday too. The two red roses you see here represent two of the eight spots that still need to be replaced with black/gold roses.

Two red roses along my path, among black and gold roses.If you’re wondering why I removed the path there, it’s so that the red roses have a chance to breed.

Happy Earth Day, everyone!

Bunny Day 2014

Today is Easter, which is known as Bunny Day in Animal Crossing. Zipper T. Bunny can be found outside of town hall today, looking for winning tickets (bunny foils), which can be found in bunny eggs.

Zipper: Spring is in the air! Flippity boing! Floppity zibbit! And I'm Zipper T. Bunny, the lucky spring rabbit!The bunny eggs will be buried all around town, and you have to dig them up.

Look at that! I dug up a Bunny egg!But not all of them are winners; many of them just contain candy instead. But the ones with bunny foils inside can be exchanged for pieces of egg furniture.

Zipper: Guess what you've won! A special Bunny Day treat!I didn’t play to complete a whole set, because I’ve already done it before. Besides, I spent a big chunk of the day playing theĀ Bunny Day festival in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. But I did play long enough to get several pieces of egg furniture. Here’s a video of the event that I recorded several years ago (when I didn’t have a lot of grass in my town):

I also spoke to Octavian tonight, and he told me that Melba was raised by wolves!

Octavian: Take Melba, for example. Did you know she was raised by wolves?I found one new black rose today, so I just need ten more now! Happy Easter, everyone!

Lily’s Fashion Sense

A message posted on the bulletin board served as a reminder that Bunny Day (Easter) is tomorrow!

~Notice~ Tomorrow, April 20th, is the day Zipper T. Bunny comes to town! Get your shovel ready and see you in front of the town hall!Over by the museum, Lily asked me for some new clothes. She then said she has no fashion sense. Yeah, that’s pretty obvious when you have Tortimer’s face on your shirt.

Lily: Ugh. You want to know something? I have ZERO fashion sense. It's true.Elmer was hanging out in his house tonight, and he tried to convince me he was having a rockin’ fun time.

Elmer: Hanging out in your own house is like a rocking chair: comfy AND fun! Not to mention rockin'!I found one new black rose today, so I just need 11 more now.

Have a happy Easter, everyone!
