I didn’t write a blog entry yesterday, but I do want to share a picture I took last night. You know how Booker runs the lost-and-found at the gate? Ever wonder how the items get there? Last night, Egbert provided me with the answer. The animals supposedly take the items they find to Booker.
I guess that makes sense, even though I think the animals would really just keep the items (or leave them there). But at least they tried to explain it.
As for today, there were no snow flurries either in town or in the city. When I made my walk around town, I found one new black rose. I decided to try making my first snowman of the season.
But he wasn’t happy about his appearance. I think I made the head a bit too small.
I dug up a gyroid today, and it happened to be another mini-tootoid! So I put it in my house, and I now have three of them! They’re good to have around, because they make a convenient excuse. “It wasn’t me, it was the gyroid!”

Tonight was the night for the northern lights (aurora borealis). This was the first of the season for Forest.
Lately I’ve been looking for tootoids (the farting gyroids) for my house. It occurred to me that I haven’t checked my gyroid storage lately. I knew I had stored a few gyroids with Brewster a while back, but I didn’t know which ones. So I went into The Roost to see what I had.
I had about seven or eight gyroids stored with him, and one of them was a mini-tootoid. So I took it back.
Del seemed to be looking forward to Christmas. He was talking about the elf that rides in a sleigh.
I went in Bob’s house, and he mentioned someone that has not been on my friend roster for two a half years. That struck me as odd.
I went around checking for new black roses, but didn’t find any. But I did find something else, an empty lamp…
I also ran into Avery, and he asked me for a new catchphrase. I’m trying to go with holiday-themed catchphrases, and other animals are already using “you elf” and “jinglebell.” So I had Avery say “ho ho ho.”
Later in the evening, I came back to look for Wisp. He was near the southwest corner of town.
Wisp told me to go into my attic and rub the lamp, so I did. He then popped back out of the lamp.
He asked me what reward I wanted. I chose furniture and he gave me an executive toy. I needed it for my catalog, so it’s nice to check one more thing off my checklist.
