While watering the many wilted flowers around my house tonight, I spotted something new. Something bright and purple…purple pansies, hiding right behind my house!

I should be able to catch the peacock butterfly now! Well, aside from the fact that it won’t be back in season until March. 😀 But I have what I need to do it, although I’d still like to grow more hybrids over the winter. For now, I put the purple pansies in my house so there’s no risk of them dying.

It seems like I’ve been wearing the BB shirt forever, and I was getting quite tired of it. So I went into Able Sisters and bought a one-way tee to wear instead. While I was there, I noticed that Sable is sew ready for Halloween. 😛

The latest Message of the Week on the bulletin board was about being as old as you feel.

Right after I got done reading that, Margie approached me and wanted to buy my BB shirt. I was happy to sell it, and she gave me 100 bells for it.

Jeremiah asked me to catch a pill bug for him tonight, and I agreed to help out. He said pill bugs are like wizards, just with more legs. I guess, but that would be one ugly wizard.

So I went around banging rocks, and I eventually caught a leggy wizard for him. But once I took it back to him, he basically said nevermind, because he already caught one! What??

I don’t recall ever having this happen before. He didn’t even show me the pill bug to prove it. When I “win” the competition, I always have to give him the bug to prove I won, so where’s my proof that he won? So I got no prize for all that work. And to make things worse, he started gloating!

When I spoke to him again, he wanted me to catch him a migratory locust. No way!

When I ran into Curly, he told me he was exhausted from gardening all day.

And he wasn’t just saying that; it was true! His house was surrounded by flowers, none of them wilted. And these were not here the last time I played.

Bree asked me for a new greeting, so I told her to say “I’m annoying.”

Crazy Redd was in town (after not being here last week, due to the Acorn Festival), and he had a lovely painting for sale. I didn’t need it, though.

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and Tortimer Cornimer can be found outside of town hall to officiate the event.

He gave me my fortune, and apparently I’m a rotten acorn. Or maybe Cornimer is just a nut.

Acorns can be found under many regular (non-fruit) trees around town. My job is to pick them up, discard of any rotten acorns, and give the rest to Cornimer.

While you can put the rotten acorns in the recycle bin, it will quickly fill up. Alternatively, you can sell them to Tom Nook. But he doesn’t pay much for them…only 2 bells each, in fact.

And of course, the villagers in town will also be talking about the event.

Or in some cases, singing about it.

Bree was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine.

When the number of (good) acorns you give to Cornimer reaches certain numbers, he will reward you with pieces of mush furniture. I gave him a total of 67 acorns, and I scored a mush chair, mush stool, mush end table, mush lamp, and mush dresser.

Last year, it took me six days of playing to complete the set. I don’t plan on doing that again, since I still have my original mush set in my house already.

I just sold this year’s mush furniture.

I saw on the bulletin board that Kiki’s birthday was October 8th (yesterday). Oops, I missed it.

In other news, I have posted my latest ACWW video, Ep. 16. It shows highlights from my town from July through early October, along with some fun and surprises. I hope you enjoy it!
