Tonight, I opened my gate at 10:00 for Friday Night Forest. This is my next-to-last Friday Night Forest and my next-to-next-to-last Wi-Fi night. As I waited for visitors, I watered my flowers and did my usual tasks. I spotted Pascal on my northern bridge; I gave him a scallop and he gave me a ship cannon.
Move along, Ribbot. You saw nothing.
Nate’s replacement hasn’t moved in yet, but I finished planting flowers in Nate’s “grave.” This is to help the grass there regrow quicker.
I found one new black rose on my walk around town. It isn’t much, but I’ll take it.
I waited until 10:45, but nobody showed up. So I closed the gate and ended my game for the night. I guess I had been hoping some of my old Wi-Fi friends would come and visit for these last few Wi-Fi nights, and we’d have some good times like we’ve had many times in the past five and a half years. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case.
I had also been hoping to have enough material for two last Wi-Fi Moments videos, but that’s not looking likely if the final two openings are anything like tonight. Maybe next month will be better…but I’m not holding my breath.
And today was April Fool’s Day, so Tortimer was outside of town hall to hand out gifts. But as he handed me a gift, I noticed there was no item. He was handing me nothing, and I put that nothing in my pocket. April Fool’s. Oh he got me good, oh ho ho horf.
But then he gave me the real gift, which is absolutely real…and yet, just as useless as the nothing. It’s a leaf. Not a New Leaf, just a leaf. You put it in your house and it looks like a leaf because it is a leaf. Oh joy.
Okay, so I’m not a fan of Tortimer’s sense of humor. But I made my walk around town, and saw that some trees now have pink leaves (to represent cherry blossoms, even though actual cherry trees won’t have them). They’re only around in early April, so enjoy them while you can!
I didn’t find any new black roses today, but I did find a new blue rose. I’ll see you all next time!
