Aurora was back outside today, after finally getting over her cold. It’s good to see her feeling better. She thanked me for giving her medicine and she gave me a bear pole.
Since I bought the silver shovel from the museum gift shop the other day, I decided to put my regular shovel for sale at Re-Tail. I’ll be opening my New Leaf gate on Sunday around 8pm Eastern U.S. time, and I figured there’s a good chance at least one of my visitors won’t have a shovel yet. So one of them will be able to make use of it, I’m sure.
I recently bought an axe, but I hadn’t used it yet. So I cut down a tree today to try it out. It works. 😛
I also tested out the ability to sit on the tree stump.
That also worked, although I did get some splinters in my butt. Just kidding.
While using the silver shovel, I found today’s money rock. But this was no ordinary money rock! Instead of coins and money bags, it kept spitting out precious gems!
In all, it gave me three amethysts, a sapphire, a ruby, an emerald, a silver nugget, and a gold nugget. Jackpot! Or so I thought. When I sold them, the total came to 19,000 bells. Now that is more than the usual amount of money I get from money rocks (16,100 bells), but it’s not a huge difference.
While I was still walking around with my shovel, Fuchsia asked me what I was looking for. Being the sarcastic mayor that I am, I chose the option “holes.” She didn’t see the humor in my response.
A bit later, I saw Tex. He asked me for a new catchphrase to replace his current one, “picante.” I know he’s a penguin, but with a name like Tex, he just has to start calling people “cowboy.”
And before I was done playing, I ran into Yuka. She put on a dazzling display of her supreme intelligence.
That’s the end of today’s blog entry, but I have a couple videos for you. The first one is a slideshow I made of many of my pictures taken in my first month with the game:
And also, Nintendo just put out an Animal Crossing New Leaf launch trailer. It shows a lot of the new features of the game, so check it out too!
