UFO #22

Once again, Avery was still sick!

Avery: Touch my forehead, will ya? Do I feel warm? I'd better get to bed early tonight...inside me.But I’ve bought him medicine three times already and enough is enough. You’re on your own this time, pal.

I went around watering my flowers. Since I’m breeding black/gold roses, I often pick up any unwanted flowers that pop up around town. I’ll often put them in the free flower area for my friends, or sometimes I’ll sell them just to get rid of them.

Today, I picked up a white rose near some red roses. I figured it was just one of the daily random flowers that appear. But when I went in Nook’s to sell stuff, I saw that it was actually a pink rose. When they’re on the ground, the pink is very pale and they look like white roses–even to people who aren’t colorblind! So it surprised me to see it was actually pink. I put it by Scott’s house for him to put into storage. Unlike almost all other hybrids, I don’t have many of them in storage.

About to sell some pink roses and other items at Nook's shop.Everything indicated that today would be a UFO day. And sure enough, the UFO flew by at 8:02. I had my slingshot ready and shot it down. This picture was snapped a split-second before my slingshot pellets made contact.

Gulliver's spaceship part on the ground.I ran into Del and he offered me a bunny shirt for 430 bells. Even though I didn’t really care for the shirt, I was feeling generous, so I bought it.

Del: For me, whenever I see a bunny shirt, I can't help breaking out my wallet!

Labor Day

After starting up my game, I noticed Tortimer standing near town hall. Today is Labor Day in the U.S.

Tortimer: Today is Labor Day, sprout.Tortimer gave me a picnic basket. It apparently includes mint gingham wallpaper (yummy) and some inedible blue cookies. Thanks a lot, Tortimer!

Avery: Hack, hack! Cough, choke! Don't come near me! This cold would kill a lesser animal, inside me!I bought him some more medicine.

After that, I noticed Pascal on the bridge. He was looking to the right, as was Deena in the background. So I joined in.

Standing on a bridge near Pascal, with Deena in the background. All of us were facing east.I combed the beach for scallops, but there were none to be found. So I talked to Pascal anyway, just to watch him dive into the river.

Pascal makes a splash as he dives into the river.I caught up with him further down, below the waterfall. He’s lucky I wasn’t peeing off the bridge or something.

Pascal floats by under a bridge.Anyway, I found one new black rose today. Nobody has moved in yet to take Kid Cat’s place, but I bet that will happen soon.
