Cherry Blossom Festival

Today is the third and final day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, and cherry blossom petals were falling from the sky.

Cherry blossom petals falling from the sky.I stopped at Nook’s and decided to replace my blue check print with a different tablecloth shirt,  the jade check print.

Timmy: That would be a jade check print you're looking at...I talked to Static and he said spring is the time to start something new…a new leaf! My thoughts exactly.

Static: Time to start something new. A fresh start. A new leaf.I then headed over to the wishing well for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Of course Tortimer was there. Kody was the dancing animal this year, and it almost looked like he was ice skating.

Robin: Drink, eat, and dance. Parties can make you forget everything.And Emerald and Belle were at the other table. Belle was getting drunk, and Emerald couldn’t stop laughing at her.

April Fool’s Day

Today is April Fool’s Day, and that means lots of pranks. It started out with a letter from Mom.

We've decided to give you your inheritance early. You're rich! April Fool's! -MomThere was another letter in my mailbox, but this one was no joke. Camofrog moved out of Forest and sent me this goodbye letter.

Camofrog's goodbye letter.And now that it’s April, many of the trees are pink.

Pink trees.I then went to Nook’s and the pranks resumed.

Tom Nook: I'm having a sale. Everything is 90% off!Puck’s one-track mind prevented him from comprehending the holiday.

Puck: Nothing beats April Food's Day.Static reminded me that the Cherry Blossom Festival starts soon; it runs April 5-7. He also told me he wanted to be the biggest April Fool ever.

Static: I'm gonna trick everybody! I'll be the biggest April Fool ever!Meanwhile, Tom apparently knows my secret now.

Tom: What's with the UFO by your house? Are you an alien?I then got to meet my newest neighbor, Lobo the wolf.

Lobo: Nice to meet you.Kody and Candi were too enthralled by a pill bug to be concerned with April Fool’s Day.

Kody and Candi staring at a bug.I was about done playing for the night, but I made one last stop at the post office. Phyllis pulled one last prank on me.

Phyllis: Did you hear Nook is closing up shop and moving out of town?

Candi the Carpet Camel?

It was raining in Forest today. On my way to Nook’s, I saw Candi and I stopped to talk to her. She was pretending to be Saharah the carpet saleswoman.

Candi: I came from far away to sell you a carpet.She asked if I wanted to buy a carpet. I said no, and she got all sad. She wondered how I knew she wasn’t Saharah. Well maybe because she’s lived practically next door to me for ten years? Not to mention a mouse has very little resemblance to a camel? Just saying.

Candi: How did you know I wasn't Saharah, cuddles?Candi: Well, you were right! I'm Candi!Candi: What!? Stop looking at me like I'm crazy!Anyway… I was tired of wearing the skull shirt, so I went to buy something new. The selection wasn’t that good, but I went ahead and bought the blue check shirt. Yeah, maybe it looks like a tablecloth, but then maybe no one will mind if I spill food on it.

Tommy: That would be a blue check shirt you're looking at.
But my eyes are closed, so I’m not looking at it!

I went around town pulling weeds. When I got to the beach, I saw Gulliver lying there.Gulliver on the beach.After I woke him up and listened to his spiel, he gave me a shogi piece. I continued on and I looked for the money rock. I couldn’t help but notice how my head goes into the cliff after hitting the rock.

My head disappearing into the cliff.
That’s gotta hurt.

After stopping at the post office, I returned home and took a look at the shogi piece. That’s all for today, see you next time!
