Yesterday, Punchy had his net out, and he was chasing a butterfly. I just thought it looked so cute. 🦋😸

This morning, the snow all melted…so we have grass once again! Yay! 😁 Even though this isn’t the official (or even meteorological) start of spring in real life, this is the first step towards breaking out of the winter doldrums.

I’m glad I got that nice photo in the morning, because it was raining the rest of the day (and night). Agent S even suggested a rainy-day party, saying we could all come dressed as our favorite clouds.

Ooh, which cloud should I be? Ooh, I got dibs on Puffy the Campfire Slayer! 😉

I asked K.K. slider for a random song, and he performed K.K. Faire for me, Agent S, and Louie–the only remaining villagers from March 2020!

If you’re wondering, Bones is the only other 2020 villager I still have around. But he moved in on October 15th of that year.

When I visited Rio after the show, I noticed that she had her confetti machine turned off. So I turned it on for her. She should keep it on all the time! 🙂

The colorful confetti was quite a contrast to the dreary rain outside. But Ankha made things interesting when I found her studying Marina’s octopus! She even had a reference book open as she studied it! 🐙

I guess she’s not used to seeing many octopi where she’s from. 😉

I recently posted New Horizons Moments #19, and it features a lot of Ankha. Please give it a watch if you’re interested. 🙂

See you next time! 🙂 Never Stop Crossing!

Festivale took place on Monday, and many of my villagers were hanging out at the plaza for the occasion. Rio said that she’s all about dancing and sparkling, so she felt that Festivale is basically made for her.

Even though other peppy villagers will repeat this dialogue as well, I feel like it’s especially true with Rio.

And of course, Pavé the dancing peacock was also there. Viva Festivale!

He wanted me to bring him feathers, three of a color at a time. I quickly caught three purple feathers, and I gave them to Pavé in exchange for a Festivale balloon lamp. I continued to catch feathers as I made my rounds, and I caught a couple of rainbow feathers as well. I ended up with about nine Festivale items, but I did not collect enough rainbow feathers to earn any additional Festivale floats this year.

My bank account balance reached 52 million bells, even though I did not sell my Festivale stuff. (I just put it into storage.)

Today, Ankha told me that she’d like to play in the snow like she did when she was young. She questioned why she should have to act her age now.

Aren’t you like 3,000 years old, though? If you acted your age, you’d be dead.

Louie told me he had a fight with Punchy, which made me wonder if he punched Punchy or if Punchy punched him. 😉 But he asked me to deliver a gift to Punchy to smooth things over, and I agreed to help out. The gift was a jockey uniform, and he put it on right away. For a reward, he gave me the athletic jacket he was already wearing; he even said it was still warm.

I’m putting together a new New Horizons Moments video; look for it soon! 🙂

On Thursday, Croque the ugly mustached frog was camping at my campsite. Even though I was wearing a frog shirt, I had no interest in adopting this hideous creature.

Tonight, I found Ankha sitting on a bench. She asked if I was wanting to sit there too. Although technically, this was not an invitation.

When I joined her on the bench, she didn’t exactly seem thrilled to have me there. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Polka for me and Agent S.

Static was visiting Punchy tonight, and he was impressed by his house. They both looked so cute, especially the looks on their faces. 🙂

A couple of other quick notes about the last few days:

• I helped Gulliver on Thursday, and he sent me a candy-skull mask yesterday.
• Yesterday, Wisp gave me some stone tile (flooring).

See you all next time!
