Welcome to October

September is gone, and so is the green grass. This is the new grass color.

The new grass color for early October.I watered my flowers, finding two new black roses today. I also caught a pike in the river.

Since it’s October now, I wanted to decorate for Halloween a little. I cleaned out my main room of my house and put my gorgeous furniture set in storage. In its place, I brought out the spooky furniture set. I kept the mega howloid, since its screams fit in nicely with my room. Of course I have K.K. Dirge playing now as well.

I ordered a skeleton to place in my room, so I’ll post a picture of my room once that arrives. I ended up cleaning out some re-orderable items in my storage to make room for the Roman candles I put away.

Then I switched to my Guest character and changed my paths. The design is the same, but the “bricks” are now orange instead of green.

My black and orange path through town.Scott got a letter from “Mom,” and I just have to say I really like the paper she used.

Dear Scott, The days are cooling down, and the leaves are just starting to change color. For some reason, it makes me feel a little sentimental. I should write a poem. -MomUnfortunately, I did not get the new DLC for October today. Hopefully I’ll get it tomorrow.

A Peeing Statue

When I started up the game, the first thing I did was go to the beach to look for Gulliver.

Gulliver: A new planet!I gave him his spaceship part that I recovered yesterday and he gave me a Manneken Pis. It’s the peeing statue on the right in this picture.

A Merlion fountain and a Manneken Pis, both emptying water to the same spot.I opened my gate at 10:00 and TZ and Bradley came in.

Bill: This is a total emergency! All hands on deck! Help me look, got pants?!TZ brought some Halloween themed patterns that she put on display in my Able Sisters shop. Soon after, Skye showed up. So it was a full house tonight. We hung out in my messy house for a while, then visited Scott’s house briefly. I gave everyone a couple of Roman candles and we burned them off by town hall.

Jeff, Bradley, TZ, and Skye hanging out near town hall.We then went to the museum and just hung out. Bradley wanted to see the exhibits. I noticed that dragonflies will land on the water in the insect room. I don’t think I ever noticed that before. They almost look like they’re dead when they’re just sitting on the water.

Around 11:00, Bradley left.

Skye: We're playing a game. T Zelda, in a pitfall: wahhhTZ left around 11:20. Skye and I went to the guest house for a while and did a little fishing. Around midnight, Skye left and I closed my gate for the night.

Coffee with Bill, and a UFO Sighting

It was raining when I started up my game today. So I didn’t have to water my flowers…that’s always a welcome relief. One new black rose popped up today. Katie was still in town, crying up a storm. I ignored her.

I went into The Roost at the museum and Bill was in there, enjoying a cup of coffee. So I had one as well. Here you can see Brewster preparing my coffee…he also added some pigeon milk to it.  Mmm, delicious. Wait…it came from where?

Brewster prepares my coffee as I sit next to Bill in the Roost.I saw a balloon present and shot it down. It was a fire flower; I sold it. But the highlight of my day in Forest came later on. The UFO! I had to run to catch up with it, and I may have destroyed some flowers in the process, but I was able to shoot it just before it flew out of town.

A UFO flies by.It’s hard to see the smoke trails in that picture because of the clouds, but they’re there. And yes, I was a bit slow in taking the picture. But this means Gulliver will be in town tomorrow, and I can exchange the spaceship part I recovered for another of his exclusive items. I hope I get something good… *cough*metroid*cough*. Check back tomorrow to find out what he gives me.
