On Thursday, Apple told me about a strange dream she had. A floating fish with a deep voice told her that she makes lousy decorating choices. 😛

The dream freaked her out, so she wanted me to come over to her house for a bit. I did, and I hung around for a little while. But when I tried to leave, she stopped me! She said a lot of folks would love to spend time with a future famous person like her. Yikes.

Honestly, this is going to make me refuse visiting offers more often in the future if they’re going to do this stuff. So I waited a couple more minutes before trying to leave again. On the way out, she gave me the song called “I Love You.” I’m starting to think she may be stalking me. 😛
C.J. was in town, and I completed his seasports challenge of catching five fish in a row. I then sold him nearly half a million bells worth of fish. (I had a lot of sturgeon saved up in storage.)
Yesterday, Tia approached me and said that she’s been thinking about moving out of town.

I like Tia a lot, but I felt like it was time to let her go. She’s been in town since the third week of the game’s release (so, over a year and a half) and I felt ready to freshen things up a bit.
I went diving and found a scallop, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. He then told me that castles are just like houses wearing armor.
![Pascal: Castles are just, like, houses that're wearing armor, maaan.](https://www.jvgs.net/acnhblog/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/pascal-castles-sm.jpg)
I guess that makes sense, but I’d argue that they’re more like mansions wearing armor. You don’t see many house-sized castles, am I right?
Today, winter has arrived! Snow now covers the ground, and I built my first snowboy of the season. He taught me how to make a frozen mini snowperson. He didn’t give me the recipe directly, he just sent it to my NookPhone.
![Snowboy: I know! I'll show you how to make a frozen mini snowperson!](https://www.jvgs.net/acnhblog/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/snowboy-121121-sm.jpg)
I then went to say goodbye to Tia. I’m sure we’ll meet again someday!

K.K. Slider was in town, and he played a song called K.K. Dub for me, Apollo, Louie, Marina, and Static.
Out on Harv’s Island, Tortimer has returned!
![Tortimer: Well, well, well... You're looking spry, Jeff. Whaddaya need?](https://www.jvgs.net/acnhblog/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/tortimer-returned-sm.jpg)
I’m guessing we won’t see Cornimer again until next autumn.
Happy winter, everyone! I’ll see you all next time. ❄⛄
