Wisp gave me a stepladder on Sunday night for recovering his spirits. Unfortunately, you can’t use it to climb up a cliff. (Yes, I actually tried it.) 😛

On Monday, I met up with Joan at the hospital. She gave me free turnips again, but only 30 of them this time.

The Nooklings were paying 129 bells for turnips, so I sold them for about 24k. I guess this is one way to slowly eat away at my turnip deficit.

Label was at the plaza yesterday, and she wanted to see me in a sporty outfit. So I put on a basketball tank, basketball shorts, basketball shoes, and a football helmet. 😂 Label loved the look, and she rewarded me with some Labelle sneakers.

Today, the museum began its annual Stamp Rally in honor of International Museum Day. Each exhibit at the museum has three stamp stations where you can get your card stamped.

When you complete a card, you can return it to Blathers for a reward (a plaque). There are a total of four rewards, and I collected all four of them today. Even though you can get them again each day through the end of May, I probably won’t do it again. 😛

But I did learn something new about the museum! You know how there are blue circles to stand on in the fossil exhibit, where the camera can shift for a different view? I don’t think I ever noticed the blue circle upstairs by the doorway in the main fossil room. So I caught this cool view of a T-rex and a triceratops.

Down on the beach, in the area designated for displaying lunar moss, I found Gulliver. Kind of appropriate, since he used to be a life form from another world himself. 😛

I dug up the pieces of his communicator and returned them to him.

The recycle box at Resident Services had two blue Moroccan walls today. I wonder who recycled two of the same wallpaper? 😛

Just to confirm, I do plan on hosting Friday Night Forest this week, at 10 p.m. Eastern time for anyone on my roster. I have a ton of extra recipes I’ve had sitting around for months, mostly cooking recipes and 2.0 items. Whatever isn’t taken on Friday is going into the trash. 😛

Able Sisters had cowboy shirts for sale today, and I bought a blue one for Beardo. It’s one of the rare times that I actually gave a gift to him, but he was quite happy with it. 😂

At the plaza later on, Bones seemed to know what I’ve been up to lately!

As you can see, K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night concert. I had a special request, but I think he misunderstood…

That request was supposed to go out to Beardo! 💀 Oh well. K.K. played one of his “error” songs, and it was pretty good. It’s nice to hear something different for a change.

Peaches was camping at the campsite. And something about her just doesn’t look right in New Horizons; I think it’s those cross-shaped eyes. They looked okay in the older games, but they really stand out more (in a bad way) in high-definition.

At the museum, I donated the graceful painting I got from Jolly Redd, and it was the real deal!

I only need one more painting to complete the museum!! Unless it takes me more than 9 months to get that last one, this will be the quickest I’ve completed the museum in any game. Redd’s stand on Harv’s Island has helped immensely.

Trivia: I only need one more painting in Wild World, too! (Not the same painting, though.) Imagine how crazy that would be if I completed both museums on the same day. 😂 Unlikely, sure, but not impossible.

Later on, I headed out to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Gayle the pink alligator wanted a vacation home where she can feel the prairie winds.

She insisted on a pergola outdoors, and I also added a windmill, a kids’ tent, a couple of triangular topiaries, a hammock, a hay bed, and some of the other recommended items. I made her house pink to match her skin.

Indoors, I used a meadow vista wallpaper, wildflower meadow flooring, and an assortment of wooden furniture. When possible, I customized the wood to be pink. It’s simple, but I like how it came out. It’s a cute little home.

Back at the office, Lottie paid me 15,000 Poki for the job. She then told me Wardell went out for a walk. I found him sitting on a log on the northern beach, where he was once before. He taught me some new soundscapes that mimic the sounds of cities and forests.

I hope you’re all having a good weekend. See you next time!

You know how I like putting a decoration outside of many villagers’ homes, like the bunny decoration outside of Sasha’s house? Well, I finally found something to put outside of Beardo’s house.

Wednesday’s turnip prices dropped into the 70s and 80s. So when they rebounded to 112 on Thursday, I reluctantly sold all I had for a very slight profit. It was getting too late in the week to risk anything more. And with that, I think I’m going to take a break from turnip trading for a while. The Nook Miles achievement for turnips is going to have to wait. I’m tired of this nonsense the past three weeks. 😂

I ran into Resetti at the Roost yesterday, and I was a bit surprised! So he actually does make an on-screen appearance without needing an amiibo. He said things are going well since he gave up the yelling business, although he does get a bit lonely now. But he compensates by yelling at rocks.

In the afternoon, I went on Twitter to find some racers for my new obstacle course: It’s a space race! After hearing on the news that glowing moss has been spotted on the moon, the two players race to the moon to find it and bring it back to Earth. First one to show it off for the TV cameras wins! Unfortunately, a couple of my villagers were getting in the way at one point. 😂

But we were able to hold the races. Thanks to Yadiel, Frank, Beat, and William for participating! Here’s my video of the races:

Today, I updated my dream. So you can take a closer look at the race course if you’d like. My dream address is 6717-1633-3682.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north shore. He had a graceful painting for sale, and it’s different from both fakes that I’ve saved pictures of! So that gives me reason to believe that it’s probably real! I’ll know for sure tomorrow. 🙂

Later on tonight, there was a meteor shower. I found Celeste in town, and she gave me five star fragments.

Now that my race course is done, I’m considering having a long-overdue Friday Night Forest, perhaps next week (May 20th). I should know for sure by the middle of next week, so check the blog for more info if you’re on my roster.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow (and probably a new Paradise Planning house design).
