Autumn Moon 2018

Tonight was the night of the autumn moon (better known as the harvest moon). Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out wheat bundles for the occasion.

Isabelle: To celebrate Autumn Moon tonight, I prepared wheat bundles for everyone. Would you like one?

When I spoke to her again, she said she’d like to snuggle the moon every night if it was a great big pillow. It’s not a great big pillow, Isabelle, but your imagination rocks.

Isabelle: If the moon were like a great big pillow, I'd pull it down here and snuggle it every night before bed.

There was also a faceboard up for the occasion, so I stuck my face through the hole and became a scarecrow. You can also see the moon behind me.

Jeff uses the face-cutout standee for the autumn moon in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Villagers in town were also talking about the moon. My favorite moon quote of the night was Lolly’s, when she said she wanted to put a few drops of moonlight in a jar for later.

Lolly: The moon is gorgeous tonight, isn't it? I wish I could put a few drops of its light in a jar for later.

There was one other moon-related note I want to share, but this one is apparently just a big coincidence. T&T Emporium had a spotlight item today, and it happened to be…the moon!

=Breaking News!= Thanks to clever business sense, we've received a very fine moon! It won't last, so don't delay! -Timothy and Thomas

My recent dream visitors have been Pokey from Hontas, GFC from M, and Louie from Louivill. Lolly also mentioned dreaming of Brandon from Toadtown. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good night (or day)!

Bell Pincher

Bones recently told me he was thinking of moving out of town on September 27th. I thought about it for a moment, but I ultimately told him to stay in Forest a while longer. I’d still like to get his picture if I can before letting him go.

Bones: Oh, skippy! Don't freak out, but I'm planning on moving away on the 27th of this month.

While visiting Lolly today, she asked me to buy her modern wood chest, and then her modern wood lamp, for well over 1,000 bells each. I bought them both, and then she had the nerve to call me a bell-pincher! I always buy her overpriced stuff I don’t need, yet I can’t seem to shake this label (which is arguably the only negative label they’ll give you).

Lolly: I hear you're a bit of a bell-pincher, Jeff.

Molly asked me to dig up the time capsule she had me bury for her a few weeks back.

Molly: Umm, do you remember that time capsule I had you bury? I think it'd be fun to open it now.

So I dug it up and took it back to her. There was a red flannel shirt inside, along with a letter about spilling food and getting stains out. She gave me a box sofa for my trouble.

My recent dream visitors have been Shelby from Forest, Mayounna from Amy Rose, Adam from Jesten, Raffaele from Marijoa, Bailey from Harding, Aldo from USA, and Blake from Peesvill. My villagers also mentioned dreaming of Rachel from Elizavil (Bones), Adam from New Wind (Lolly), and Jeffrey from Mars (Lolly). Thanks for stopping by!

Lolly: I had a very strange dream about someone called Jeffrey from Mars.

Lolly, Lolly, Lolly

Last Sunday night, it was raining hard in Forest…just as it was in my new City Folk town of Mushroom, and in real life as well. It felt like I couldn’t escape it! 😛

Lolly: This rain does NOT want to stop!

I found a lost item on the ground, and the search for its owner brought me back to Lolly. She gave me a big-dot tank to thank me for returning it.

Lolly: Oh! This IS mine! Great, now I can keep both hands warm.
This poor little kitten has lost her mitten.

On Tuesday, Lolly informed me that she has already read 20 books this fall!

Lolly: I'm what you'd call a voracious reader, bonbon. I've already consumed 20 books this fall!
She has an appetite for reading.

I’m not intentionally making this entire entry about Lolly, but that’s just the way it’s worked out! 😛 On Thursday, she asked me to bury a time capsule for her. I buried it in my usual spot for time capsules, even though it’s a long way from her house.

Lolly: Sorry to spring this on you, but would you be interested in burying my time capsule for me?

Today, the final Bug-Off of the year was held. I was trying to get one of the non-gold trophies, so I just caught one bug (a red dragonfly) and gave it to Nat. It scored 23 points, and I didn’t want to go any higher.

Nat: 23 points!

But when I attended the winners’ ceremony later on, I didn’t even make the podium! Vivian was the winner, Rolf got 2nd place, and Big Top finished 3rd. Oops.

Vivian celebrates a Bug-Off victory.
V is for victory. And Vivian.

My recent dream visitors have been Timor from Nauen, Teren from SmolTown, Lindsay from Hoopie, Jack from JDH, Julie from Narnia, Olive from Starhill, and Emma from Safavoir. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
