Gulliver sent me my reward in the mail today, and it was a Dala horse. It’s a small furniture item, so it’s not a big deal…but it’s not an ugly accessory either. 😛

While diving, I caught a sea cucumber. It was my first one, so I donated it to the museum.

Near the Animal Crossing cemetery, I found a lost item…a sticky pouch.

Keaton told me that it belonged to Bones. And when I took it over, Bones rewarded me with a waistcoat.

Later on tonight, there was a meteor shower up in the sky. Celeste was also in town, and she gave me a DIY recipe for a starry wall.

Yesterday, I found a lost item on the ground. It was a comic book that had a girl with big, sparkling eyes on the cover. I asked Midge about it, and she suggested that it might belong to Agent S. I took it over to the superhero squirrel, and she confirmed that it was hers.

She gave me a mountain parka for returning the book.

Marina the octopus was camping at the campsite. I really like Marina, but not quite enough to kick someone out.

Wisp was in town last night, and he rewarded me with some sweatpants for recovering his spirits for him.

Today, Gulliver was washed up on the beach. I found his five communicator pieces for him, so he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

Three of my largest villagers–Keaton, Tybalt, and Louie–were hanging out at the plaza, grilling and eating. I don’t know what the occasion was, but it’s making me hungry. 😉

Note: No Friday Night Forest this week.

Yesterday, I saw a bug I hadn’t seen yet, a blue dragonfly. I got my net out and caught it; it’s called a damselfly. Of course, I promptly donated it to the museum. It’s one of the new catches for November.

Saharah was in town, and I got some new stuff from her: a simple medium avocado mat, a circuit-board wall, a blue stripes rug, and a dig-site flooring.

I shot down a balloon present that contained a DIY recipe for a mush low stool. It just required two round mushrooms, so I made it out of a couple mushrooms I found today.

I removed a few spooky furniture items from outdoors, and added some of them to my main room. I plan on keeping my spooky room in my house at least until I earn all of the HHA awards. Note: I also have no immediate plans of removing my Halloween race course. So it will be up for at least a couple more weeks, and possibly longer.

But there is one Halloweeny part of town that I did remove: the graveyard. In its place (roughly), I put in something I’ve had in mind for months. I knew that once I removed the frog race course, I wanted to put in a froggy pond for people to jump across. It’s not a race or anything, it’s just a little side attraction. My original idea wasn’t for the pond to be frog-shaped, but that’s what I tried out.

It has a face, and it’s made of eight spaces in the water…just enough for eight players to pose there for pictures. I’m not sure if I’ll keep it like this or change it to a larger, rectangular pond with more spaces to hop across…but let me know what you think!

Today, I was disappointed to see that Bones has learned Rizzo’s catchphrase! That’s right, Bones is now calling himself a rat! 😮

Tybalt complimented me on my shirt, which was the referee shirt I designed. The funny part is that he was wearing the same shirt! So yeah, I guess he would like it. 😛

Leif was in town, but I didn’t want anything that he had. He no longer sells pumpkin starts.

I found some extra dig spots, and I wondered how I could possibly have extra fossils. But they weren’t fossils, they were rare mushrooms!

I actually dug up two of them today, and the Nooklings pay 16,000 bells apiece for them! However, I’m hanging onto these just in case they’ll be needed for some DIY recipes.
