Weeding Day 2023

On Tuesday, Jeremiah told me that he loves seafood…but he would never eat his pet turtle. I wouldn’t expect a frog to like seafood in the first place.

Jeremiah: So even though I DO love seafood, I would NEVER eat my pal soft-shelled turtle!

A bit later, a bank deposit resulted in my account balance reaching 125 million bells.

Your current balance is 125,000,000 bells.

On Wednesday, Cherry asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I agreed, and she gave me 15 minutes to find her, Cube, and Hornsby. It took me less than three minutes to find them all: Hornsby was near the video screen, Cube was behind Jeremiah’s house, and Cherry hid behind Rolf’s house.

Cherry: Oh no! Aww, you found me!

She rewarded me with a breaker for winning the game.

Today is the last Friday of April, which means that it’s Weeding Day. I found Leif at the event plaza.

Leif: Once again, we'll be pulling weeds and making the town look happy!

Since I didn’t have any weeds that needed pulling, he just rewarded me with another violet screen as the Town Cleanup Prize. Meanwhile, the gardening corner at T&T Emporium sat empty for the day.

The empty gardening corner in the Nooklings' shop.

My villagers were also talking about Weeding Day, saying they’re going to help out. 😛

Inkwell: Yup! I'm gonna pull weeds whenever I see 'em, in the sea!

But I wonder if Cherry was a bit confused…

Cherry: I don't totally hate the smell of weeds. I actually find it calming.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors included Tobias from Pinevale and Zuko from Pokyo. Thanks for stopping by!

3-Year Time Capsule

Late on April 10th, I managed to snap a photo of the early-April pink trees (and falling cherry blossom petals) before they disappeared hours later.

The pink trees of early April in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

On Monday, Cherry was visiting Inkwell at the same time that I was. I chatted with both of them until they were sick of me. They both had their thought bubbles above their heads at the same time. Wow, they must’ve really hated me. 😆

Inkwell and Cherry, both sick of talking to me.

On Tuesday, Rolf asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I did, but unfortunately, my battery later died before I could save the game. So it’s like that (or anything else I did in that session) never happened. Oops.

But that made me decide to do something else I’ve been putting off for years: I gave Aurora back her time capsule that I accidentally dug up too early back in 2020!. She never asked for it back! But she was happy to have it in her possession again, and she gave me the li’l bro’s tee that was inside.

Aurora: Wow! You found it for me?! You know, I was just thinking it was about time to dig that thing up.
We both know that’s a lie.

Yesterday, Eunice the sheep was camping at the campsite. She’s nice (it’s in her name!), but I wasn’t interested in adopting her. And of course, my town is full anyway.

Eunice: Hello. I hope it's all right that I've decided to camp here. You have a lovely town.

Gulliver was in town, and he was talking about flamenco dancers and matadors. He was headed to Spain.

Gulliver: You've also got the dangerous and exciting birthplace of matadors. Such daring and bravery!

Today, he sent me a Gaudi’s lizard in the mail. Boots immediately wanted it, and he asked me to trade it for a dawn tank. He threatened to bite me, so I didn’t have much choice in the matter. 😉

Boots: Please trade me for my dawn tank! And I bite?

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned to it to Cube. He said that he has been keeping his cheesecake in it! He then gave me an editor’s desk to thank me for returning the bag. But he didn’t even offer me a piece of the cheesecake! 😉

Cube: Whoa! I was looking forever for this!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Jacob from Lotus, Jude from Judeland, and Leo from Gameston. Thanks for stopping by!

Lolly’s Birthday 2023

Yesterday, I received a letter from Cherry in the mail. She thanked me for inviting her over last time, and she sent me an imperial wall.

Winnie the horse was camping at the campsite, and she was talking about the voices in her head. 😉

Winnie: This trip was SO last minute, but I'm totally glad i listened to that little voice inside my head!
Was it the Horse Whisperer?

I found a lost item by the train station, and it was very close to being on the tracks! Good thing it didn’t get run over by a train. 😉

I picked up a lost item!

I returned it to its owner Cherry, and she rewarded with a dogtooth shirt! I hope the teeth aren’t hers!

Cherry: It's not much... But as a reward for findin' it, you should totally take my dogtooth shirt!
This shirt bites.

Today is Lolly’s birthday, so I headed over to her house for her birthday party. My buddy Rolf was also there to help her celebrate. 🙂

Lolly celebrates her birthday with me and Rolf.

I gave Lolly a towel rack that I bought from Harvey as a birthday present. But she didn’t seem very impressed. 😆

Lolly: Wow, a towel rack! I'm, uh, touched. Thank you!

Over by the town tree, Cube asked if there were any weird things that I like.

Cube: Hey, do you have any weird things you like? I definitely do.

He said that he likes holes in pants!

Cube: Like...holes in pants!
Do you even wear pants?

He elaborated that holes aren’t a good thing in socks, but they are in pants. 😛

Cube: Holes in socks aren't cool, but holes in pants are awesome!

My villagers kept telling me that Rolf was thinking of moving out, but I couldn’t talk to him about it because he was at Lolly’s party! But I started up the game again later, and he was finally outdoors. So he pinged me, and now he’s safely stuck in Forest for a while longer. 🙂

Inkwell and I were talking about me hypothetically being a soccer referee. He asked if I would give him a yellow card, a red card, or a blue card. I didn’t think there was a blue card in soccer, and I didn’t want to penalize him anyway, so I chose that one. So he accused me of not knowing much about soccer. 😛

Inkwell: You don't know much about soccer, do you, champ?

To be fair, I don’t know a lot about soccer. 😛 But I did know about the penalty cards, at least. 😆
