Jeremiah asked me for a new greeting yesterday, and I told him to say “I was a bullfrog.”

It was raining, and Inkwell told me he was going to shower outside. He used both his Splatoon-themed greeting and his Splatoon-themed catchphrase, and it all made logical sense together! That’s pretty rare. 😆

He asked me for some furniture, and I gave him the Kinderdijk windmill that I got in the mail from Gulliver (from the Netherlands). He liked what I chose, and he gave me a soft-serve lamp in return.

There was a tent at the campsite, and I found Biskit inside! He’s the cute dog that has no eyes…or at least no pupils. But when he reacted surprised, he actually did have eyes! And pupils!

I would have adopted him instantly if I had room in my town, but of course I didn’t.

I found a lost item on the ground, and I returned it to Lolly. It was a bag that had some bread inside! She said it’s probably stale now, and I don’t blame her for not wanting to eat it. Especially since it was on the ground, out in the rain.

She rewarded me with a bold-check tee, and I decided to put it on. It’s a shirt I remember wearing in the GameCube game many years ago.

By today, the rain was gone and the sun was out. Aurora asked me to bury a time capsule for her, and of course I helped out (despite the unenthusiastic look on my face in this screenshot). 😆

Mira asked me to catch a puffer fish for her, so that she could see if it looked like Hornsby. Fortunately, it didn’t take me long to track one down.

Mira thanked me for the fish, but she didn’t say if it looked like Hornsby to her or not. 😛 She gave me a dharma in return.

We’re about to head into October, and Jack will be showing up soon to tell us about Halloween! I’ll see you next time! 🎃

Last Saturday, I found Gulliver down on the beach.

He was headed to Mexico, and he sent me a skeleton figurine in the mail.

Boots gave me a new nickname, “bro.” He said that now he feels like he’s my king, in a swamp. 😛

Sunday, Boots asked me to make a delivery to Molly. Before she even opened it, she could tell it smelled sweaty. Eww.

She offered me “something special” if I could guess what it was, but I didn’t want it if it smelled sweaty! So I guessed that it was furniture, which was of course wrong. So I got no reward, but that’s okay.

Yesterday, Mira asked me for some new furniture. I gave her the skeleton figurine from Gulliver, and she seemed to like it. She rewarded me with a portable toilet.

It was the night of the autumn moon (harvest moon), and Aurora wanted to save a few drops of the moon’s light to look at later. Aww, that’s cute.

So of course, I had to look up at the sky to see it for myself.

Over at the plaza, Isabelle was there to hand out wheat bundles.

I also stopped to pose in the face-cutout standee that was set up for the occasion. I’m a scarecrow!

Today, Rolf told me about a weird new trend he saw on TV: He said that people are getting antlers attached to their heads! Now that is weird!

Cube asked me for a small piece of furniture, and I gave him the wheat bundle. He appreciated the gift, and he gave me a science table in return.

Gulliver was in town again today, and he was talking about tulips and windmills. He was headed for the Netherlands.

Mira started rapping to me, about feng shui of all things.

Hornsby pinged me, but Mira’s rap kept going and going. 😛

By the time Mira’s rap was over, Hornsby had moved on. So I’ll never know what he wanted. But it wasn’t about moving, because Aurora already wanted to move today…and I convinced her to stay.

I saw a very large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out an arapaima. These are always so satisfying to catch!

At the drive-in campground, I went inside an RV; it belonged to Joan! She was telling me that she’s more comfortable around turnips than people.

I’ll be back with another entry later this month. I hope to see you then! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Last Saturday, I saw a really big flower next to my yellow bench! 😉

But it was just Cube, holding a petal parasol. When I spoke with him, he started talking about dragonflies spitting out tiny flames. 😆

It was just the start of his conversation leading to a request: He wanted me to catch a dragonfly for him. So I started looking around, and I wasn’t seeing any at first (maybe because it was raining). But when I finally did spot one (after the rain stopped), it was a big one! It was a banded dragonfly!

I took it back to Cube, and he gave me a nice reward: a computer.

I also noticed something else in the sky. A double rainbow was starting to form!

As the minutes wore on, it got brighter and brighter!

While this isn’t the first double rainbow I’ve seen in Forest (that was in 2016), this is just the 2nd one! So I took a bunch of pictures of it, all over town!

I think I overdid it with the photos, haha. But it’s a rare sight to see, so why not? 🌈

On Monday, Eugene the koala was camping in town. I never liked the guy.

At Re-Tail, I saw a cube clock for sale. I bought it, and decided to mail it to Cube (get it?) as a gift. I also wrote him a nice letter, politely asking for his photo. 😆

Today, I received a response from Cube. He said he liked the letter, but he didn’t send me a gift with his reply. Oh well. I tried.

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he was talking about tom yum kung and elephants. The elephants made me think of India (because of Dhalsim’s stage in Street Fighter II, haha), but that wasn’t one of the choices. So I consulted my Gulliver guide and saw that Thailand was the correct answer.

Gulliver will be sending me a tuk-tuk in the mail next time!

If you haven’t yet seen my latest video, it’s a comparison of my town in each Animal Crossing game. It contrasts details about each town, my villagers, my museum and collections, and also my accomplishments and goals. I hope you’ll give it a watch!
