Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Yesterday, I updated my dream (address 6717-1633-3682), so it will now reflect the changes I’ve previously mentioned in the blog (up through the Wrinkly Kong pattern I mentioned Wednesday).

But of course, I’m still continuing to make changes as I prepare for Halloween…so this won’t be my final Halloween update.

Saharah was in town yesterday, so I made some purchases from her. I ended up with a simple medium orange mat, a tree-lined wall, brown argyle rug, and pyramid tile.

Today, Judy was camping at the campsite. She’s one of the eight new villagers in New Horizons, and she is kinda cute, but I did not ask her to move in.

C.J. was also in town, and he asked me to catch three big-time fish in a row for his challenge. I caught a sea bass, a barred knifejaw, and a zebra turkeyfish to complete the challenge.

Tia was crafting today, and she taught me the recipe for the spooky arch. It requires 10 orange pumpkins, 10 pieces of hardwood, and three pieces of clay. I only had enough pumpkins and wood to make one, but I’ll make more another day.

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Logan, Xavier, and William showed up…and that seemed to be it. We visited some villagers, talk about the apparent lack of creepy furniture in New Horizons, hung out at the graveyard, and went diving.

Alex from Pawnee then came over, so we had five players. That was as many as we were going to get, so we headed over to the frog course for likely one last race. I plan on taking the frog race course out soon to make something Halloween-themed. The final frog race ended just like the first frog race, with William winning. Congrats, William!

Xavier achieved a personal best by completing the race for the first time. 😂 As you may remember, he got stuck on the course last week. 😛

After the race, Logan left, and I took this photo by my spooky scarecrow. The white spooky stuff seems to look the creepiest, IMO.

Shortly after 11:00, William left, and then Alex left as well. I was feeling tired tonight, and maybe I was boring everyone. So about 11:15, I ended the session and closed the gate for the night. Thanks to everyone who came! I’ll try to have a new activity to make things more interesting next week.

If all goes well, I’ll be posting two videos this weekend: one on Saturday and one on Sunday. You can see my latest videos here.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow for the fishing tournament!

Yesterday, my pumpkin plants yielded another crop. So apparently it’s every two days that more pumpkins grow. Not bad.

It was raining in town, which saved me some time from watering. And Gulliver was in town, washed up on the beach. I dug up the five pieces of his communicator and returned them to him.

Hornsby was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. He thanked me by giving me a biker jacket.

Also, Lopez taught me a recipe for a spooky lantern.

Today, I received my thank-you letter from Gulliver. He sent me the Tower of Pisa as my reward.

I’m glad he sent a furniture item this time, instead of some silly accessory. But I’m not sure how or where to use it, so I’m leaning towards putting it into storage for now.

Leif was in town again today, which makes twice in the first week of October. I bought some more pumpkin starts and some more orange windflower seeds as well.

I bought another spooky arch at Nook’s Cranny, but I’m hoping to get the recipe for this one soon. I plan on replacing my stone arches with spooky arches, so I’ll still need four more.

Hornsby was talking about the Halloween decorations around town, and he wondered if it was ghosts putting them up! No, it’s me!

Lopez taught me a new D.I.Y. recipe for a spooky standing lamp, and I got the recipes for the spooky chair and spooky candy set from balloon presents. Even though I hated using up three pieces of candy so soon, I made the candy set and put it on the table at the amusement park.

Between the entrances of Death Valley and Decay (D.K.) Country, I put a pattern of Wrinkly Kong. She’s a Donkey Kong character, but she’s also a ghost (in later games, at least). So it fits both themes; I can’t resist things that have a double meaning (such as puns).

I cleaned up a lot of the extra flowers that appeared overnight (because of the rain yesterday), and I moved some flowers around. I haven’t updated my dream yet, but I’m going to try to do that tomorrow.

See you next time!

There was a heavy meteor shower in the sky above Forest tonight, and Celeste was in town to watch the shooting stars with me.

She gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a satellite, and I was happy about that. 🛰️

Kicks was also in town, so I stopped by his stand to see what he had. To my surprise, he had something new for October: Impish wings!

Even though they don’t sound like something Kicks would sell, they’re apparently classified as a backpack. I bought the black wings and put them on my back.

Nook’s Cranny had a spooky lantern set for sale, and I bought it…even though I’m not sure where I’ll put it just yet. If you’re not aware, the spooky furniture items are available both from crafting and from the shop. That’s very helpful, and it seems to be a rare thing for furniture in this game. However, they can not be ordered from the catalog.

At Able Sisters, I bought myself an orange football helmet.

Tybalt taught me the recipe for a spooky scarecrow. It only requires three orange pumpkins and four pieces of wood, so that’s not bad.

Later on, I ran into Wisp. However, he didn’t look happy to see me. 😛

I was not expecting to see him tonight, for a couple reasons. For one thing, he was just here last night; so that means he showed up two nights in a row. Also, it’s not very often that you see Celeste and Wisp in town at the same time. I think this is only the 2nd time I’ve seen them both on the same night.

I gathered up his spirits for him, and it wasn’t very hard tonight. Most of them were clumped up together in the same area!

When I took the spirits back to him, he gave me a cute white wall.

See you all next time!
