Today, Tangy told me she needed a Peking Man in her life.

So I went up to her house and peeked in her window. Nah, she wanted a fossil…a specific fossil. And she wasn’t the only one with an overly specific request: Opal asked me for a ptera left wing. As you might have guessed, I was unable to fulfill either of those requests today. In fact, I didn’t even find a fossil to dig up!

There was a new house in town, and it belonged to Midge the bird. She just moved in today. I know birds often eat insects, so I wonder if Midge eats midges.

When I visited Poncho, he was talking about the summer heat and how he loves tanning. But would he even get tan? Or would he just turn a darker shade of blue?

Speaking of summertime, I’ve noticed that (unfortunately), none of my villagers have started wearing bikinis yet! I thought at least one of them would be wearing a bikini by now.

When coming out of my house, there’s something that often catches my eye and tricks me for a split-second. Look at the top-right corner of the following picture, between the bulletin board and town hall.

It almost looks like a rainbow. But it’s just the stripes on the side of Nook ‘n’ Go. Still, it catches my eye pretty often.

I turned the game off for a couple hours, but returned later on. There was a meteor shower going on, and Kitty joined me on the bridge to watch them.

Chow sent me his goodbye letter in the mail, and I received it today.

A notice on the bulletin board informed town residents that the fireworks festivals are almost here! They take place on Sunday nights in August, and there are four of them this year.

I’ll try to check out the fireworks at some point this month. Although, I still have some leftover unused fireworks from last year! Oops!

The hot summer temperatures are making some of the animals uncomfortable. Static even said he’s thinking about shaving his fur off! Don’t do it, Static! Just buy an air conditioner or something!

When I had a chat with Tank, he told me that Nan recently became a vegetarian. So I guess that means she ate meat until recently, then? Hmm, I wonder who what she ate.

Opal asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “I’m a gem.”

I then caught a few bugs, but it wasn’t late enough for the really valuable ones to be out just yet.

Chow had his belongings all packed up in boxes today. He’s been alright during his time in Forest, but I won’t particularly miss him.

Saharah was in town yet again, still looking for old wallpaper. Static and Tangy each gave me their old wallpaper.

But those two weren’t enough, since you need to give Saharah three of them to get a rare wallpaper. So I put them both into storage for now.

In late July, the grass turns a bluish shade of green. It’s particularly noticeable near my crop circles. Since the color of a pattern isn’t going to automatically change based on the time of year, it’s going to really stand out for much of the year.

I spotted a balloon present and shot it down with my slingshot, even though I snapped this picture a fraction of a second too early. It contained a brick block (from the Mario set).

I took a bus ride out to the city, but most of the shops were already closed for the night.
