Dark Morning

On June 9th, Mira asked me to catch a rainbow stag for her. I thought my chances would be better out on the island, so I took Kapp’n’s boat ride across the sea. While I was there, I remembered I could do something I can’t normally do in New Horizons: Fish from the north shore.

Fishing from the north shore in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

In New Horizons, you need to use fish bait to make fish spawn up there on your island.

Anyway, it took me longer than I expected, but I caught a rainbow stag for Mira. When I took it back to her, she rewarded me with a Tower of Pisa.

Mira: Well, looky here! That is one fine-lookin' rainbow stag!

On Saturday (June 15th), I was visiting Cube when he told me not to look in his mush dresser. So of course, I did look in his mush dresser. There was a robo-closet inside of it (somehow), and Cube let me keep it.

I got a robo-closet!

The Bug-Off competition was underway, so I grabbed a goliath beetle from my dock box. Nat gave it a nice, round 100-point score.

Nat, during the Bug-Off: 100 points!

That took over the top spot, and Nat gave me a snail clock as my reward. I later put it in my house. After the competition ended, I returned to Nat’s tent for the winners’ ceremony. I won 1st place, while Lolly finished in 2nd place, and Aurora was 3rd. 🙂 Here we are holding our trophies:

Yesterday, Jeremiah said he could smell my Tower of Pisa. I didn’t know it had a scent, unless it was really a tower of pizza? Now that, I’d like to smell. But Jeremiah wanted me to trade it for his makeup case.

Jeremiah: Wanna trade it for my sweet, sweet makeup case?

I agreed to the trade, just to be nice. 😛

I found three dig spots right next to each other, and they were all fossils! Usually when this happens, one of them is a gyroid or pitfall, but all three were fossils this time.

Three dig spots in a cluster.

Mira asked to visit my house (yes, again), and I agreed to it (again). Up in my swampy room with all the frogs, Mira said my house smells just like me! Somehow, I don’t think that’s a compliment. 😆

Mira: Mmmmmm! This place is starting to smell just like you!

I showed her every room, and she left once we got to the last room (the basement). Today, she sent me a letter thanking me for having her over. She included a kiddie bed, which she encouraged me to use in my house.

It was raining pretty heavily today, and Aurora (for one) seemed to be enjoying it.

Aurora: Oh, good morning, Mr. J! Don't you find rainy mornings refreshing, in igloos?
In igloos, I might be afraid the rain would melt the ice blocks, which would fall on my head and kill me. But sure, it’s refreshing.

The sky was dark…really dark. Believe it or not, this picture was taken at 10:30 a.m.!

Raining and dark skies in Forest this morning.

I still haven’t made progress on getting any of the other villager pics I’ve been trying for lately. But I’m not giving up! One of these days I’ll have something to report. I hope. 😆

One last note for today: I’ve had several campers over the past week or so. That included Ed last Monday, Marcie on Tuesday, and Broccolo yesterday.

Ed, looking sus: Oh, I'm not anyone suspicious!
Marcie: I'm certainly going to enjoy the time I spend here. I hope we get to know each other!
Broccolo, at the campsite: You're from this town, aren't you? I'm having a great time camping here!
