Yesterday, Hornsby wrote me a letter, saying letters remind him of his grandma. At least, before she…. stopped writing letters. And at the end, he said his grandma smelled good (past tense). Is this his way of saying his grandma died? 🙁
Speaking of death, Rizzo referred to his own body as a carcass! He was itching from fleas, and he made a big deal out of it right in front of Leif. Well, I guess he knows Leif isn’t going to tell anyone. I helped the rat carcass out by catching his flea; Leif applauded me like he was relieved to not be standing next to an infested rat any more. 😛
While I was at the plaza, I bought some more pink-azalea starts from Leif. I used them to replace the generic shrubs I had been using in my park (which I’m now calling Peach Park). It will take a few days for them to grow, but it certainly is a satisfying feeling to keep improving my island. Even if most of the daily improvements are small, it’s all a step in the right direction. 🙂
Later, I used the island designer app to widen my new waterfall (the one that empties near the sumo ring). I think it looks a lot better now.
Just a few other quick notes about yesterday:
- I re-routed part of the new creek, so that my two fake bridges look better.
- I received my tailors ticket from Label in the mail.
- I noticed several pink cosmos on the cliffs, so I planted them near Hornsby’s house.
- Two new black roses sprouted up in my flower garden.
Saharah was in town today, and I bought some cloud flooring and a dig-site wall from her. I like them both, but the cloud flooring was particularly cool because it’s animated! It’s like you’re walking through a cloud! While this would be great for a cloud/sky/heaven themed room, it would also work well as fog for a Halloween room!
Apple was sick with a cold, so I fetched some medicine for her. She’s now on the road to no nose gunk, and she gave me a career jacket as thanks.
I started up the island designer app and put in a new path in the western part of my town. I’ve been reluctant to make this path, because this area is a tight squeeze (thanks to my obstacle course). But I made a path connecting my northwest bridge (near the campsite) down past Tia’s house, and to my southwest bridge. I bought a bunch of orange windflower seeds and lined the path with them.
As an experiment, I took the rock-head statue I got from Keaton, and put it on an island in the river. An odd choice, sure. And I probably won’t keep it this way, but here’s a look anyway. 😂
That’s all for now, but I’ll be back again tomorrow with another entry. See you then! 🙂
