When I started up the game this evening, I got Genji’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Even though I’ve long had enough gold roses to line all my paths, my surplus continues to grow. If I ever accidentally destroy one (or 20), I’ll have no problem replacing it (or them). I actually have even more extras besides these; they’ve sprouted up at various locations around town.

Angus asked me to make a delivery to Broccolo, and I told him I’d help him out. Fortunately, I found Broccolo about three seconds later. But Broccolo was scared to open up the package.

I have one spot in town where four Jacob’s ladders have grown in a square pattern. They’re often wilted (thought not usually all at once), and I water them when I see them wilted, but they never seem to die. That’s a bit surprising considering I only play twice a week.

I saw a balloon present floating by, so I whipped out my slingshot and shot it down. Inside the box, I found a starman.

I took the bus to the city, and I saw that the cones (that normally block off the Reset Surveillance Center) were pushed to the side. I walked in, and nobody was home. But I had my eye on the last slice of pizza… I wonder if they’d know it was me who took it…

I wanted to dye my hair green to dress up as Mohawk McClover (like I did in New Leaf today), but Shampoodle was already closed for the day. I’ll try to do it next time I play (if it’s early enough in the day).

I finished up my night in Crazy Redd’s shop. I saw a plant for sale, so I asked Redd about it. It was a pothos! I’ve been looking for a pothos for years! Just for my catalog checklist, that is. But it’s about time it finally showed up!

It was a dark, rainy night in Forest tonight.

I noticed a very large fish shadow in the ocean, so I got my fishing rod out and caught myself a living fossil! It’s my first coelacanth of 2015.

I got an unpleasant surprise when I went inside Genji’s house: He’s all packed up and ready to move out, without warning! It’s sad to see him go. Well, at least I still have him in my GameCube town.

It’s Saturday night, so I went up to the Roost to take in a performance from K.K. Slider. I let him choose the song, and he played K.K. Calypso for me.

Lily asked me to make a delivery to Mallary, and the item turned out to be a robo-floor. When I returned to Lily, she thanked me and gave me 552 bells.

I can’t help but wonder what is the significance of the number 552. Animals have given 552 bells as a reward numerous times before, including here, here, here, and here. It just seems a bit strange that that number is always popping up.

Just like in New Leaf, February 25th brings the melting of snow and the return of green grass. Spring is here! Unofficially, at least. I was tired of the snow and ice, so it’s great to see the grass once again. I also changed my path to green bricks, since the ice bricks stood out too much now that the snow is gone.

Fang was going along with the spring theme, as he was already walking around with a watering can. He claimed to be a serious gardener, but I have my doubts.

Genji asked me to make a delivery to Mallary, so I waddled the duck over there. I gave her the present, and it turned out to be a caveman tunic! Ha! But the biggest surprise was that she actually liked it.

Near the top of the ramp, Lily was her own party planning committee. But she was having trouble deciding on a theme.

Friga asked me to catch a pill bug for her, so I went around with my shovel, banging rocks all around town. Eventually, I caught her precious pill bug and returned it to her. She thanked me with a tea table. I guess that’s not a bad trade.

I took the bus to the city, where it was raining. When I checked out Crazy Redd’s new items for the week, something in his shop caught my eye. I saw a fish-shaped thing hanging from the ceiling, with something hanging underneath it. It took me a couple of seconds until I noticed the bath mat on the ground; that’s what he was selling. The fish thing is just part of his shop decorations. Oops.
