Yesterday, carpeting was the premium item at Re-Tail. So I checked my storage and found four leftover special carpets to sell, from the ice, Pavé, and egg sets.
Today was Weeding Day, so I made sure to visit Leif at the event plaza before 7 p.m.
Believe it or not, this was my first time pulling weeds for Leif! For the first Weeding Day (in 2014), my town was clean and I just participated to unlock the topiaries. In 2015 and 2016, I missed Leif entirely! But I caught him this time.
Leif told me to pull the weeds in town and then return to him. After pulling one, I checked back and he told me I had 11 more to go.
So, I went around town and picked all the remaining weeds. Leif then congratulated me on a job well done.
He rewarded me with a “town cleanup prize,” which was a cosmos fan. Leif claimed to have made it himself, by hand, but I think he was just clowning around.
Here’s a look at the cosmos fan in my house:
And up at the Emporium, I saw that the gardening center was closed for the day. That’s because Leif can’t be in two places at the same time. 😛
And just before 7:00, I used my Booker character to speak with Leif at the plaza. Leif said that Forest was already clean and weed-free, but he still gave Booker a gift: a lily record player.
Later on, I got a letter in the mail from Leif. He sent me a stool fertilizer sample.
My recent dream visitors have been Ian from Somerset and Chris from Windburg. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend! I hope you all had a successful Weeding Day!
