Mysterious Painting

I had quite a bit of mail waiting me in the mailbox today. Yesterday’s Snowboy sent me some ice flooring, and I received the five New Year’s Day items I ordered from Nook Shopping. That included the 2021 celebratory arch, which I put up at the entrance to Candy Cane Lane.

I also received a letter from Mom (with Mom’s art attached), and most importantly, my mysterious painting from Jolly Redd. I took it over to Blathers at the museum, and he confirmed that it was real.

Keaton was also hanging out in the art gallery. He was admiring the informative statue that I previously donated.

Keaton: I'm normally not the art-loving type. But thanks to your donation, I'm a changed eagle.

At Able Sisters, I bought a space parka and put it on.

Shortly before 6:00, I updated my dream for the first time in several weeks. So you can see Candy Cane Lane (and the rest of Forest) for yourself by going to dream address 6717-1633-3682.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Jongara for me, Hornsby, and Keaton.

I found a lost item on the ground, and it was a comic book that featured a girl with big sparkling eyes. I asked Agent S about it, but she told me it looked like Apple’s book. I later found Apple on the beach, and gave her the book. She rewarded me with a soft-serve hat.

I wrapped up the soft-serve hat and gave it to Louie as his daily gift. To my surprise, he put it on! He looked funny with it on…so of course, I had to take a picture. 😛

I shot down a balloon present that contained a DIY recipe for a festive tree. This is just the small, basic Christmas tree that you could normally buy at the shop in previous games. I made one and put it in my house, even though Christmas is over. 😛
