I played briefly on May 1st, and I got to see the windsocks that fly every year in early May. <\/p>\n\n\n

Today, I received Mathilda’s goodbye letter in the mail. She bounced after three months in Forest. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Dearest<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I ran into Pompom, and she said her mood was as ugly as the weather. I thought ducks liked the rain, though.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pompom:<\/a>
Oh, cheer<\/em> up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ursala was being as rude as ever. First she insulted me…<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ursala:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

…and then she tried to rip me off. I’m starting to wonder why she’s not my least-favorite villager in town. Even Baabara and Belle weren’t as rude as Ursala, at least today. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ursala:<\/a>
I can bearly <\/em>afford that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But just seconds later, I forgot about Ursala’s unkindness when I ran into Mathilda’s replacement: It’s Purrl! She’s such a good kitty. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Purrl:<\/a>
Of course she is still a snooty. Well, pobody’s nerfect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She previously lived in Forest back in 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wendell will be in town on Sunday, and several of my villagers were talking about his upcoming visit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Kody:<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Emerald asked me to catch an insect for her, so that she can study it. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Emerald:<\/a>
And by “study,” she means “eat.” \ud83d\udc1c<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The problem is that not many bugs show up when it’s raining. I went around banging rocks, and then I tried shaking a few trees. I wasn’t having much luck for a while. But I eventually found a pill bug; I took it back to Emerald, and she rewarded me with a perfect painting! Of course, I already have one in the museum, but that’s a really good reward for a bug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I posted a video of today’s full gameplay session, if you’d like to see it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
