Month: April 2022

Flower Fest 2022

On Tuesday, I received a letter in the mail from Wishy. He sent me a blue corner.

Crazy Redd was not in town, because the Flower Fest is underway this week. Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, but only to talk about how much pain he was in. 🤷‍♀️

Tortimer: Oh, Jeff... I'm so tired. My feet ache from standing here all day...

Peanut was talking some trash, saying that she’s going to win the Flower Fest if I keep “slackin’.”

Peanut: I hope you keep slackin', 'cause then I'll win again this year!

Just about everybody was overconfident in their ability to win. At least they’re all such good sports about it.

Cyrano: Sunday's the last day! So just keep that in mind when you're losing, loser!

Deena insisted that I couldn’t possibly love flowers as much as she does.

Deena: But I seriously doubt that you love flowers as much as I do!

So I took a look at her flower garden, and…

A few wilted flowers outside of Deena's house.

She had a few flowers around her house, but not tons. And at least half of them were wilted! She thinks this is going to win the Flower Fest?! Good luck with that.

I gave Snake some more medicine on Tuesday, and then he was all better by today. He thanked me for all the medicine by giving me some cabana flooring. He also promised to make me some onion glutenizer soup the next time I got sick. Um, thanks but no thanks.

Snake: I'll make you my special Super Onion Glutenizer Soup, bunyip!

Bob was one of the few villagers not consumed with the Flower Fest. He was content to talk about steam baths and smooth skin.

Bob: That's where you sweat so much, it makes your skin nice and smooth.

Mom’s Prank

On Tuesday, Cyrano spoke with me to make sure I’d take good care of his photo that he gave me a few months back. He warned me not to do anything weird with it, or he said I’ll regret it. I had no interest in doing anything weird with it!

Cyrano: And don't do anything weird with it or you'll regret it, in my nose!
Don’t flatter yourself.

Snake was still sick, so I gave him some medicine on Tuesday, and then again today.

Today is April Fools’ Day, and even though there’s not an event for the occasion, you can get a prank attempt from Mom in the mail. She sent me a letter saying that a tree crushed my parents’ house and they lost everything! Wow, that’s actually a pretty harsh trick. 😛

Dear Jeff, A tree fell onto the house and crushed it! We lost everything! Just kidding. Did I get you? -Mom

But at least it’s a different letter than what Mom sent before, in 2020. It makes me wonder how many possible April Fools letters are programmed into the game!

The start of April also brings cherry blossom season, with many of the regular trees having pink leaves for the early part of the month.

Pink leaves on many trees for cherry blossom season.

The flea market is coming up tomorrow, and Olivia was excited for it. She said that last time, she made Bob buy a soup can from her! 😂

Olivia: Last time I made Bob buy a soup can!

She said bargaining is a lot of fun, and she can’t wait to see what she makes someone buy this time. 😛

Olivia: Bargaining is SO FUN! Hmm. I wonder what I'll make someone buy this time.

I heard a shooting star go by tonight, but I had my slingshot out for a UFO that never came. So I missed it. Shoot! 🌠

Update: About half an hour after posting this entry, another shooting star flew by. I wished on it, so I should be getting a gift from Wishy when I play again next week. 🙂
