Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, and I received valentine letters in the mail from all of my islanders (and one from Isabelle, too).

After reading them all, I found a bunch of chocolate hearts and heart-shaped bouquets in my pockets.
I also went to the Roost for the other sweet Valentine’s Day treat: Hot chocolate! Brewster has served cocoa instead of coffee for this occasion, starting with City Folk. Mmm!

Bluebear was camping at the campsite, and she’s cute. I did not ask her to move in, though.

But something struck me seeing her in New Horizons. I know I’m colorblind, but despite her name, she looks green to me! It looks like her fur is sea green, or a similar shade. I didn’t think she looked this green in the older games, but in ACNH, that absolutely looks like a shade of green to my eyes.
So I opened that screenshot in an image-editing program and got out the eyedropper tool. You know how it’ll show how much red, green, and blue are in a particular pixel? Of course the numbers vary depending on which spot you choose, but I noticed something consistent. No matter where I put the cursor on her fur, it’s showing more green than blue!

It’s not just my colorblindness! Bluebear is green! Yes, it’s technically a shade in between blue and green, but it’s closer to green! Check your favorite image editing program for yourself if you don’t believe me.
Tonight, I had a chat with Ankha in the plaza. She told me some things about her tomb that seem hard to believe…

While I was at the plaza, I asked K.K. Slider to play a random song. He performed Surfin’ K.K. for me, Ankha, and Louie. It doesn’t exactly feel like surfing weather right now, but I guess we can imagine that it’s summer.
After the concert ended, I went out to Harv’s island. I asked Katrina to tell my fortune, and she saw an island where residents prefer to live in tents instead of houses!

According to her, this meant that I was going to have bad luck with money. But of course, she had a remedy for me. I just needed to pay 10,000 bells for it…and I did. She will send me my lucky charm in the mail next time.
I also had a chat with Leif, as I was curious about his weeding service. I didn’t have enough weeds on my island to purchase his services, but he did tell me what his fee is: A whopping 100,000 bells! Yikes!

Have any of you ever used this service? Do you think it was worth the money? Let me know in the comments!
Here a few other quick notes about this week:
- Agent S was sick on Monday, so I gave her some medicine. In return she gave me an apron.
- I helped out Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate-treasure robe.
- Today, I returned a lost item to Bones. He rewarded me with a pacifier! Is he calling me a baby?
Just a heads-up that I finally posted my New Horizons Art Guide. I know it’s long overdue, but it’s here now…complete with a pun about every work of art. I hope you’ll check it out! Here’s a sample:
See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
