Jacob’s Mantis

On Sunday, Hamlet asked me to dig up his time capsule that he had me bury last month. So I went to the northwest corner of town, dug up the time capsule, and then returned it to Hamlet. After reading the letter he wrote himself, he concluded that he was immature back then.

Hamlet: Hoo! This is embarrassing! I was so immature back then!
But you’re a mature little hamster now, huh?

But he thanked me for returning it, and he gave me a polka-dot sofa as my reward.

Yesterday, I was minding my own business, banging a rock, when Pashmina came up to me and interrupted me!  If you thought I was surprised, you should’ve seen her! She was so shocked that she had a little accident!

Pashmina: Well, well. If it isn't dude! I peed!In another part of town, I thought I saw something unusual about this Jacob’s ladder…

I caught an orchid mantis! My eyes see all!I then made a dream visit to Villager’s town of Squam (dream address 5900-5539-4323). Update: The new dream address is 4F00-000F-CC39. The paths there are quite unique: They have a green grass/plant design, along with cookies, candy, strawberries, and jack-o’-lanterns. I like it! It’s very colorful!

My white cap.Beth came over for a short visit, and she took a seat on the bench. I used the opportunity to release some bugs in her hair. And even though she couldn’t see it, I also held out a frog that squirmed all over the back of her head. I’m sure she’ll find the frog slime on her pillow when she goes to bed later. You’re welcome, Beth.

That knocked it down to my private beach, where it will likely puzzle dream visitors for weeks or months to come. (I’m too lazy to swim over there just to pick it up).

A present that I knocked onto my private beach.Then again, it might be cool to do that repeatedly to see how many presents I could get down there. Instead of a private beach, it could be a present beach. 🙂

My recent dream visitors have been August from Holowyn and 🙂 (yes, a smiley face) from Donut. Thanks for stopping by!

One last note: Yesterday I put up a new ACCF video showing me pitfalling all ten of my villagers. Even though it’s not New Leaf, I think many of you may enjoy it. Here’s the link if you’re interested: ACCF: Pitfalling My Villagers.
