Rain, Rosie, Rugs

It was a rainy day in town today, and most of my villagers were complaining about it. Monty, though, complained that I looked happy despite the rain.

Monty: How can you look so happy in this nasty weather? Yup... I always knew you were a strange one.

I found a new house near my northwest bridge. (It’s not the spot where Tom lived, but it’s just a bit south of there.) That means that Ed’s replacement has moved in, so I quickly went inside. I was quite happy to meet my newest neighbor!

Rosie: Well, I'm Rosie, and I'm the newest resident of your awesome town!

It’s Rosie the cat! She lived in Forest back in 2011, but I also had her in Wild World from 2018-2020. I like her a lot, so I’m glad to have her around once again! 🙂

Big Top asked me to make a delivery to Mint, and I agreed to help out. The gift was a cabin rug, and I didn’t think much of it at first.

Mint: Oh! It's a cabin rug!

When I returned to Big Top, however, I had to do a double take. His reward for me was also a cabin rug!

Big Top: Oh, that's right... to thank you, I want to give you a cabin rug!

How many cabin rugs does this guy have? 😆

Over at town hall, I found two furniture items in the recycle bin this afternoon: a deluxe range and a pine chair.

I played again this evening, mainly to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Calypso” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Calypso.
K.K. looked tired or something in this screenshot. 😪

After the show, I decided to shake some trees. I found both of today’s furniture items: a wheat field and a blue wardrobe. But more importantly, I encountered five bees and I caught them all! Going 5-for-5 is very unusual for me in this game, but I felt like a pro, for the day at least. 😆🐝

I caught a bee! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

Marina’s Squid

I played on Sunday, and I received a cute letter from Mint in the mail. It was about the game of hide-and-seek that we played last week.

To Jeff, Thanks for playing hide-and-seek with us earlier. It's nice to just play like a kid sometimes, isn't it? -From: Mint

She sent me a metal guitar as my prize for winning the game.

It was Easter Sunday (aka Bunny Day), so I had a chat with the one-and-only Zipper T. Bunny.

Zipper: boingity boing! Hello there!

I dug up all the bunny eggs I could find. Some had candy inside, and others had bunny foils. I found 11 of the 12 bunny foils, and I redeemed them for egg furniture. (I didn’t worry about the one I missed.) I sold the 11 items for a total of 98,888 bells. 💰

But Antonio was more concerned with the rain, and the mud it was creating. He apparently wanted to wrestle someone in the mud!

Antonio: It's getting nice and muddy around here! Now, if someone would volunteer to let me tackle them in it...

Today, I received a goodbye letter in the mail from the horse that recently depart-Ed.

Yo, Jeff, This is it, my last day in Forest! Living here made me realize just how burly I really am. Tell everyone thanks for being so scrawny!

Robin was feeling sick…and unpretty. I gave her a dose of medicine to help with the cold. As for being unpretty, she’s on her own there.

Robin: P-p-please. never felt so... unpretty. Qu-qu-quickly...

Monty told me that he recently visited Nana, and he said she’s quite a good cook! He particularly loved the garlic bread that was drowned in green onion(s)? I’m not sure about the onions, but whatever floats your garlic bread, man.

Monty: The garlic bread I had was just drowned in green onion. What a taste sensation, monk monk!

Marina surprised me by asking me for a squid! Was she looking for a new cousin? It took me way too long to track one town, but I did track one down eventually.

Marina: Oh! A squid!

She only rewarded me with 528 bells, but I guess it was okay. Because during my search, I also caught a few barred knifejaws and red snappers, which are worth a few thousand bells apiece.

Later on, I went up to the Roost for K.K.’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Country” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Country.

Since the fish I caught earlier got me close to a new savings milestone, I gathered up a few loads of fruit to add to it. My balance has now reached 67 million bells.

Your current balance is 67,000,000 bells.

See you next time!

Ed’s Early Exit

A message posted to the bulletin board today reminded me that Bunny Day is coming up tomorrow. I like how it says to “get your shovel ready,” as if we’re going to be attacking Zipper T. Bunny with our shovels…and then possibly burying him. Oh, wait, maybe that’s just me? 😆

4/19/2025 ~Notice~ Tomorrow, April 20th, is the day Zipper T. Bunny comes to town! Get your shovel ready and see you in front of the town hall!

When I visited Ed, I was surprised to find he was all packed up and ready to leave town!

Ed: Whoa! Jeff?! I was trying to move out in secret, but you must've heard my muscles flexing.

He has only lived here for three weeks, so he barely had enough time to unpack his hay! 😉 I guess he couldn’t stirrup the will to stay. But three weeks is the same length of time that his predecessor Groucho spent here. I guess the new guys must not like it here for some reason.

At the Roost tonight, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. That worked out well, because he played “Steep Hill” for me; one of my favorites!

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Steep Hill.

After the show, Mint asked me to play a game of hide and seek with her. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Big Top, and Nana. I found Mint very quickly, right behind Marina’s house. The other two took me a few minutes, because they were both in the northeast part of town (near the museum). I seemed to scare Nana when I found her. 😛

Nana: Eek!

With that, I won the game…but Mint swore that it was the last time she’d ever lose to me.

Mint: Maybe you are pretty good at hide-and-seek, after all. But...that's the LAST time I lose to you!

My pockets were full, so she’s going to send my prize in the mail.

Bunny Day is coming up tomorrow! I’m not sure if I’ll play or not, but it is a fairly easy way to make about 100k. Feel free to check out my Bunny Day Guide for more info! Have a Happy Easter and I’ll see you next time!
