Northern Lights

As expected, the snowtyke sent me another snowman matryoshka. Tom asked me for it, so I’m going to give it to him since he helps me out with bingo numbers every day.

The Northern Lights were in the skies above Forest tonight, so I took pictures from various locations around town. Here they are over my train station.

The northern lights above my town hall.And here they are by my snow family.

Northern lights and my snow family.Crazy Redd was in town once again today. He had a basic painting for sale, but it looked the same as the fake one I bought recently. Two of the other three paintings were ones I already had in the museum, so my buying decision was easy. I sprung for this jolly painting.

Redd: I see! Ya seem to be really close to that jolly painting, yeah?I often customize the furniture I get from animals or at the store. I end up giving them to villagers when they ask for furniture. Here is a customized polka-dot clock I picked up today.

Take home the polka-dot clock?Over by my central bridge, I stopped to snap another picture of the Northern Lights overhead.

The northern lights from my bridge.When I went up to Main Street, Luna told me that Kyle from Delta was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Emporium, I had ACCF flashbacks when I saw Gabi and a classic buffet. Nice table.

Timmy: Ah, a classic buffet! A fine item, yes?Back in town, I was having serious trouble locating snowballs to build a snowman. Once, a dung beetle had it on the edge of a cliff and there was no way to save it. Another time, it was on the edge of the river and fell in. Another one smashed into a tree and shattered as soon as I got to it.

But mostly, I just couldn’t find them! Even though I would go indoors and come back out to reset them, there was one point where I made about five or six trips around town and still couldn’t find one of them–despite looking everywhere, behind every tree and every building. It took me over an hour before I finally rounded them both up and built a (purposely flawed) snowmam.

Snowmam: Starting today, I will be staying  in town for a while. Please stop by for a chat every now and then.She wouldn’t even mention snowflakes, so I’m hoping she’s made poorly enough that the snowtyke won’t give me credit for her.

My buddy Kidd suggested a totem pole as a public works project.

Kidd: And it's free of charge! Yeah, what we definitely need around here is a totem pole.I’m not sure if I would want this in my town or not. At any rate, it doesn’t seem worth the hefty price tag (538,000 bells).

Totem pole: 538,000 bells.That wrapped up my (late) night in Forest, but I have two other things to share with you. One is a QR code for a Star Trek Starfleet uniform submitted by Roman. If you’re interested, check it out on theĀ QR Codes page.

The other thing I have to share is a slideshow of my New Leaf pictures taken in the month of December. Enjoy!
