Harv’s Island Complete!

Louie sent me another work of art in the mail today, a serene painting. It was real, but I didn’t need it. I also got my scenic painting from Redd in the mail. It was authentic as well, and I donated it to the museum.

I was hanging out in my gyroid room when Apple started yelling at me! She had quite an ultimatum for me! 😮

Apple: I came to hang out, so, um, let me in, or die!

I went back to the main room to let her in, and she gave me an orange that totally wasn’t poisonous. (Yeah, right.)

Apple: It's not like it's poisonous or anything, or die!

Later, I returned a lost item I found to Apple. She rewarded me with an athletic outfit.

Out on Harv’s island, Katrina’s fortune telling stand was now available to use. For 1,000 bells, she can tell us about our luck for the day, or she can tell us about our friendship with a certain villager. I asked about my friendship with Static, and she said the two of us are bound together by the strongest of bonds.

Katrina: Oh... Oh, I see something... Yes...

I paid her another 1,000 bells to ask about my luck for the day, and she said that my luck with friendship will improve. I seriously doubt that, but okay, sure. 😛

Next, I went over to speak to Harvey. He confirmed that this area is now complete!

Harvey: Isn't out little co-op beautiful? It's hard to believe it's all done. My dream actually came true!

Since the shops here only seem to update their inventory once a week, I may soon just visit weekly (unless I need to have a certain item customized that I can’t do myself). Cornimer has already given me more acorns than I’d normally acquire in a year, so I can’t see many reasons to keep coming back multiple times a week.

Kapp’n later took me to a mysterious island, and it had some odd path markings on the ground. But it also had some pumpkins growing.

Pumpkins are the one vegetable I don’t need, since I have tons of them in storage. But perhaps I’ll find some other vegetables on another island one day soon.

That’s all for tonight, but keep an eye out for my next Wi-Fi Moments video, coming in the next day or two. You can always find my latest videos here.

Vines

Today, I was able to harvest my tomatoes and wheat. The wheat could then be crafted into flour, so my selection of ingredients is finally starting to grow. I whipped up a few dishes, including carrot potage, tomato curry, and tomato puree.

Look what I made... some tomato puree!

Julian the unicorn was camping at the campsite. I like him, but I wasn’t about to force anybody out for him.

Julian: Ha HA! Got you. I'm not THAT fancy-pantsy. My name actually is Julian, though.

Redd was in town, along with his ship. I purchased a scenic painting, and I’m pretty sure it’s the real deal. So I should be donating it to the museum after it arrives in the mail tomorrow.

Speaking of the museum, I headed there tonight to buy my first coffee to go! It cost 300 bells, which is more expensive than the regular coffee, but I think I can afford it. 😉

Brewster: If you're after a coffee to go, I'll fix you one up for 300 bells...

Out at Harvey’s island, I saw that Redd was not standing at his RV (since he’s in Forest, of course). I fully paid off Katrina’s stand, and I made sure to check in with Harvey and Kicks.

Harvey: Now, I've never been a cool cat--in fact, I'm a dog! But even ol' Harv can tell that Kicks's shoes are neato!

I took Kapp’n’s boat to a mysterious island, and I’ve finally landed on the very special vine island!

Vines and glowing moss on a vine island.

I swiped a bunch of vines, and some glowing moss too. On the beach, I found a special message bottle: It came on some really cool sunset (or is it sunrise?) stationery, and it gave me a recipe for a vine crown.

My dear anonymous reader, I can NOT stop thinking about this furniture I saw in a dream! So, I have turned it into a DIY recipe. I am compelled to share my recipe, so I have stuffed it in this bottle. May it inspire you to action. Faraway wishes, -Baabara
(Please stay far away, Baabara.)

I’ll need to decide which part(s) of town would look good with the glowing moss. The vines may look good up in Donkey Kong Country.

See you all next time!

Saharah’s Shop

Yesterday, Timo sent me a stage flame machine in the mail, and it’s 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks, Timo!

Look! I dug up a dootoid!

I also received a letter from Nook Inc., thanking me for helping residents participate in group stretching. They sent me a Nook Inc. leotard…even though I’ll never wear it. 😛

Wisp was in town last night, and I collected his spirits and returned them. In exchange, he gave me a safety barrier.

At the Roost, I got some coffee and Brewster gave me the option to drink it hot or let it cool. I didn’t have this option on Saturday…but I still drank it hot.

Brewster: It's best to drink it fresh, before it cools...

On Harv’s island, Reese and Cyrus’ customization shop was now opened for business. I didn’t have him customize anything for me yet, but it’s good to keep making progress with the shops here.

Cyrus: Now, as my lovely Reese mentioned, I can customize darn near anything. Just bring it in, and I'll have a look!

After that, I funded Saharah’s shop.

The mysterious island for the day was a bamboo island.

As I started up the game today (Monday), Isabelle told me that C.J. was in town! This is a new feature, and it’s quite helpful. But it’s actually a new step for the series, since previous games didn’t do this for normal, recurring visitors.

Isabelle: Oh! I just heard that C.J. is visiting Forest today.

Eloise pinged me and ask if I’d like to visit her house right away, and I said yes.

Eloise: Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's be off!

But unlike in New Leaf, I didn’t have to lead the way to her house; we just automatically appeared there. She eventually asked to play a card game, and I lost. After a minute or so, I got tired of hanging around. As I walked out the door, she gave me a gift (a copy of K.K. Soul).

My first batch of carrots sprouted today, so I now have a few veggies for cooking.

Saharah’s shop opened on Harv’s island today. I was very pleased to see that you can actually see what you’re buying from her! No more blind purchases!

Saharah: I have also mysterious flooring and wallpaper. Oh, how surprising you will find it! Are you ready to buy?

Leif had some potato seeds (actually called seed potatoes), so I bought a few of them…and later planted them in town.

Redd’s inventory changed (perhaps because a new week has started), but I didn’t need his new works of art. I then funded Kicks’ shop, so that should be open tomorrow. After that, all I’ll need is Katrina!

Today’s mysterious island was set in springtime, so I had the opportunity to catch some cherry blossom petals…even though I didn’t bother. 😛 But another unusual thing about the island is that it only had nine weeds! Usually these islands have a bunch!

After drinking another hot cup of coffee at the Roost today, Brewster told me that I’ll be able to order coffee to-go starting tomorrow! ☕

Brewster: Starting tomorrow, you're welcome to come around...and order at the counter to the right...

That’s all for today, but I’ll be back again soon. See ya next time!
