Shamrock Day 2022

March 7th was Molly’s birthday, and I attended her party; Agent S was also there. I gave Molly a laptop that I bought at Re-Tail for her birthday present.

Molly: Ooh, a laptop. How thoughtful of you. Thanks!

That same day, I found Tangy at the campsite! It’s too bad my town is full, because I would have liked to invite Tangy to Forest.

Tangy: I hope I'm not causing a big fuss or anything. Go about your normal business, folks! Nothing to see!

Yesterday, I went up to Shampoodle to dye my hair green. When I returned, I found a lost item on the ground. It didn’t belong to any of the first eight villagers I tracked down, but it did belong to #9: Agent S.

Agent S: Wow! I thought I'd lost my schmancy pouch forever!

She gave me a water cooler to thank me. As for the 10th villager, who took me a while to find? It was Cube, of course. He was in the museum.

Cube: I don't know if you're ignoring me or if you're just busy. But I have feelings too, you know.
So STOP hiding in the museum!

Today is Shamrock Day (St. Patrick’s Day), so I went over to the event plaza to get my gift from Isabelle. She gave me a shamrock hat to wear.

Isabelle: Please wear that shamrock hat and celebrate Shamrock Day with me, Mayor! We'll have TONS of fun!

I checked out the face-cutout standee to imagine myself as a rich leprechaun.

I decided to put the shamrock hat on for the day, and my villagers all commented on it.

Lolly: Oh, that hat! It's a design that definitely says Shamrock Day. What a cute idea!

Agent S said on days like today, she should be skipping around town with some iced coffee! Sounds like a plan!

Agent S: On days like this, I really should be skipping around town with some iced coffee!

And where do you think Cube spent his Shamrock Day? In the museum, of course.

Cube: This is a really amazing collection! All of us in Forest are so proud of it!

As mayor, I may need to speak with Blathers about banning Cube from the museum until he gives me his picture. 😛

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Ben from Snowland and Josh from Mistdew. Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you all had a good Shamrock Day! 🍀

Festivale 2022

Today is the day that confetti falls from the sky, and the dancing peacock Pavé comes to town. Viva Festivale!

Pave: VIVA...FESTIVALE!

He asked me to collect blue feathers, so I kept my eyes out for them as I played. The villagers that are outdoors enjoy dancing, and they’re all wearing cute little hats.

Inkwell: Let's whoop it up and get this little town hopping!

The feather-collecting was going slow. Fortunately, you can also play games (charades or rock-paper-scissors) with outdoor villagers to win more feathers. Molly really helped me out.

Molly: All right. Since you won, I'm handing over this blue feather.

Once I finally got three blue feathers, Pavé took them and handed me a Pavé bureau.

Pave: Pave is generous and attractive, so Pave will give you this Pave bureau.

Next, he wanted three green feathers. But before I got them, I found a rainbow feather. They can be exchanged immediately for a piece of furniture. In this case, Pavé gave me a Pavé clock for it.

Pave: GLORIOUS!

Unfortunately, the hunt for green feathers was dragging on. I was getting tired of searching, and I was nearly falling asleep as I played. 😛 But I did eventually get the feathers, and I traded them in for another Pavé bureau.

When Pavé told me he wanted purple feathers next–a color I only had one of–I decided to call it quits. I took my three furniture items over to Re-Tail, and I sold them for a total of 36,000 bells.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Skylar from Ashton and Ben from Snowland. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had an enjoyable Festivale, if you participated. See you next time!

Valentine’s Day 2022

Today is Valentine’s Day, and I received three valentines in the mail: Isabelle sent me a chocolate cake, Molly sent me a chocolate heart, and “Mom” sent me a comfy sweater.

Another Valentine’s Day tradition in recent Animal Crossing games is to enjoy some hot chocolate at the Roost. It’s so sweet! 💘

Me, enjoying some hot chocolate at the Roost on Valentine's Day: It's so sweet!

Rolf asked me to deliver something to Big Top (something that he left behind at Rolf’s house), and that item turned out to be a peach.

Big Top: It's my peach!

My reward was an apple! We’re just standing here trading fruit back and forth. 😂

Big Top: You must be hungry, right? Then here, have an apple!

Up in the sky, I couldn’t help but notice the northern lights…and a nearly full moon. It was a pretty sight to behold.

The northern lights and a nearly full moon light up the sky.

The two villagers whose pictures I still need (Inkwell and Cube) were both hiding out in the museum…where I can’t have regular conversations with them and can’t make any progress in growing our friendship. Boots was also in the museum, so that’s 30% of my town! It’s so annoying! I wish it was limited to zero one villager at a time.

I also found a couple of former villagers in the museum, including Hippeux. He was complaining that there aren’t any paintings with ripped males flexing their muscles. 😛

Hippeux: You ever notice they don't seem to have any ripped males flexing their muscles in these paintings...

He even suggested that he could model for some paintings. Yikes. 😛

Hippeux: If it's for the sake of art, I can pose as a model if necessary!
I’ve never been so glad to not be an artist.

Pascal had his RV parked at the campground, and he looks different without his hat.

Pascal: That face when you find fresh scallops on the beach... Mmm, mmmm!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Cooper from Suna and Skylar from Ashton. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! 💖💖💖
