On Tuesday, Marina asked if I’ve picked up any new hobbies lately. I said no, and she suggested trying some new recipes. Was this the seed that grew into crafting and cooking later in New Horizons?
When I visited my other pink neighbor Nana, she asked me to catch a peacock for her! Unfortunately, it was the day after Festivale, so I was too late to catch Pavé. 
Just kidding. She wanted a peacock butterfly, even though she never mentioned the word butterfly.
Saharah was in town, and she asked me for some old wallpaper. So I started asking around. Felicity told me that she had some old wallpaper the day before, but she just traded it for some slippers. That was random.
Antonio helped me out by giving me some wallpaper, although he claimed to not know that Saharah even had a name! He said he had just called her “Eyelash Lady.”
Mint and Monty (M&M?) also had some old wallpaper for me, so I had the three that I needed! I took them back to Saharah, and she gave me a backgammon wall for them. I’m game for that.
I played some more City Folk again today, and Marina told me there was a painter in town. She was talking about Wendell, of course.
It just made me think what a shame it is that Wendell’s role has diminished in recent games. In New Leaf, he only existed in dreams. And then in New Horizons, he got completely replaced by a custom designs portal. He may still show up in the Roost if you use an amiibo card, but still, that’s disappointing.
Anyway, I ran into Wendell a few moments later. I shook down the apples from a nearby tree and gave him one. He thanked me and gave me not a coloring book, but a coloring Nook.
It’s a pattern of Tom Nook that’s not filled in. You can color it in yourself, if you’d like.
I later spotted a peacock butterfly flying around! I caught it and took it over to Nana. (I like how they give you a few days for requests in this game.)
She rewarded me with a lattice wall.
Marina has been toying with the idea of moving out, but I finally got her to change her mind after about six attempts. I can’t let my 3rd favorite villager leave, especially when she just got here! And speaking of that, would you like to know where I’d rank all of my villagers? I recently ranked my villagers in all eight of my Animal Crossing towns, and you see the full lists in this video:
I also just posted my monthly recap of villager arrivals and departures in my towns. And you can see that here:
I hope to see you all next week with more! Have a great weekend!
