On Tuesday night, I had my first bug-hunting session of the year. I recorded a video of my hour-long hunt, and you can see it here:

Yesterday, Nana was talking about how she wanted to be able to identify fossils on her own. (I’ve talked about that before too.) But Nana said that Blathers was unwilling to help, because it was a trade secret.

Last night, I had a short (20-minute) bug-hunting session. I earned 56,945 bells in the process.

Today, Curly was talking about pants with elastic waistbands. He said he’ll never let fashion get in the way of his eating. 🐷

Grizzly asked me to buy his vertigo shirt for 356 bells, and I agreed. I don’t mind when the amount is in the hundreds. Anything over 1,000 bells is a different story. 😛

Seconds later, Mint came over to talk to Grizzly. They had a funny conversation that started with Mint apologizing for calling Grizzly a puddinghead. But then they both started admitting things they did to each other. 😆

They both got angry, and it ended with Mint calling Grizzly a puddinghead… again. The conversation came full circle.

When I visited Roscoe, he was looking for some new clothes. So I tried giving him the vertigo shirt from Grizzly…and it worked!

Roscoe gave me a melon chair for helping out.

Ruby asked me for a killifish, so I checked out my town’s ponds until I found one. She gave me a tulip chair in return, and she also gave me a very sweet compliment. 🍨

Enjoy your summer bug hunting, and I’ll be back with more next week! 🙂

I found a four-leaf clover in town today, though I don’t think it gave me any good luck. 🍀

Clyde asked if he could visit my house, and I agreed. Unfortunately, I had to choose a meeting time. When I tried a time that was too soon, he said he couldn’t make it that soon because he’s not the running type.

So I chose a later time. In the meantime, I went to Able Sisters to buy a new shirt. I thought my flame shirt seemed a bit hot with summer here now, so I bought a nice, cool bubble shirt instead.

My next stop was Big Top’s house, and he just so happened to ask for new clothes. I gave him the flame shirt, and he loved it! He gave me 520 bells, which is 110 bells more than what I paid for my bubble shirt! That worked out well!

When I visited Mint, she had a scowl on her face when she told me she was going to buy a deluxe beanbag. Um, okay?

She said she likes to buy nice things to pass the time while she waits for the next big event to come around.

I then headed home and waited for Clyde to come knocking. When he arrived, he initially seemed excited to see my house. But it didn’t take him long to start complaining about my lack of furniture. 😑

I had a bed and other furniture upstairs, but he wouldn’t follow me up there. He just stood in my main room complaining. He said he would rate my room three stars out of five…and so would his mom.

I got sick of his complaints, so I just waited for him to leave. He may be new in town, but he’s already becoming one of my least favorites.

Later on, I went to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance. I asked for a random song, and he played Rockin’ K.K. for me.

Midge locked herself out of her house, so I did a little fishing and found her key for her.

She rewarded me with a farting gyroid (a tootoid), which took the wind out of my sails. 💨

Before wrapping up my night, I gathered some fruit and earned enough bells to get my account balance up to 61.5 million bells. So my personal goal for the summer will be to earn 2.5 million bells (getting my balance to 64 million) by September 1st. I’ll get started on that summer bug-catching next week. I can’t wait! 🙂

I found a new house on my path just south of Able Sisters today. This is in a spot that has rarely been occupied.

Inside, I found Clyde the horse. He actually lived here before in 2017-18, but I barely even remember his time here. He must not be a very memorable dude. (That’s probably true, because when he previously moved in, I didn’t even notice it.)

His biggest claim to fame in Forest is being in my Pitfall Pandemonium video (along with Tabby, Samson, Benedict, and Midge). So Clyde and Midge lived in Forest at the same time in 2018, just like they do again now. (I just hope Tabby doesn’t also return to join them!)

One other interesting thing about Clyde’s arrival is that Forest is now a two-horse town. As for my other horse, Roscoe, he was locked out of his house today. Just to stay on the horses’ good side, I fished his key out of the river. I don’t need the two of them as enemies; they have a lot of horsepower! 😉

I took the key back to Roscoe, and he rewarded me with a howloid.

I was happy to see that he actually used his key to enter his house. Sometimes, you’ll go to all that trouble, and they just stay outside anyway. 😆

Later on, I went down to the Roost to check out the Saturday night musical performance. K.K. played K.K. Ballad for me, which is a really good song.
