Meteor Shower, Snowman, Gold Roses

There was a meteor shower in Forest tonight. I stopped on the bridge to watch a shooting star fly past.

A shooting star flies by, through the clear night sky.On my walk around town, I saw a happy cat and a sad cat:

A happy, whistling Bob standing next to a crying lost kitten, Katie.Poppy asked me for a new catchphrase. I tried to teach her “poopy,” but the game wouldn’t let me. So I added an extra “o” and it worked fine.

Poppy: Pooopy. Hm... I like the way it rolls off the tongue!I saw two snowballs near each other, so I made a snowman.

Snowman: But I never dreamed that I'd wind up this gorgeous! You, sire, are an artist! I can't thank you enough!If you’ve been reading this blog for a long time, you may know that one of my long-term goals is to line all my paths with gold roses that I bred myself. My collection has been growing lately, so I replaced the red roses leading to my museum with gold roses. I still have a bunch of other gold roses in certain areas of town, but I still have a long way to go.

The path to my museum lined with gold roses. Bob is standing in the light from the museum's open door.

Valentine’s Day

Today is Valentine’s Day and I received this letter from Mint:

Dear Jeff, Happy Valentine's Day! Please enjoy this little treat, since I think you're pretty neat! -From: MintShe sent me a chocolate heart! I don’t recall ever getting one of these before.

A chocolate heart sits on my snowman table.I also went to The Roost to enjoy a hot cup of coffee hot chocolate. On Valentine’s Day, Brewster secretly replaces the fine coffee he usually serves with hot chocolate! Sweet!

Wait a second... This is hot chocolate!!It snowed earlier in the day, so I didn’t have to water my flowers. I shot down a balloon present and got a cabin dresser.

Of course, I also talked to some of my animal neighbors.

Bob: Oh, you arsonist! What are you up to today, master?Kid Cat was telling me about the weird sounds that come from his body.

Kid Cat: And when I'm lying in bed, I hear weird cartoon sound effects coming from my body.

Who is Hayley?

A message posted on the bulletin board reminded me that Festivale is coming up next Monday. I might open my gate for that…even though it is my least favorite of the five furniture holidays.

~Festivale Notice~ Festivale is February 20th! Get ready to CELEBRATE next week!While walking around town, Bob asked me to play hide-and-seek. I was busy looking for Pete (to find out if the UFO would be coming today), so I declined his offer. As he was still depressed over that, I talked to Kid Cat nearby.

Kid Cat asked me how Hayley was doing…the Hayley that stopped by the other day. Okay, this really confused me, because I don’t have a Hayley on my roster. I’m fairly sure I’ve never had a Hayley on my roster either..so what’s this all about? Does anyone know? (Update: It was probably someone who visited him when he lived in a previous town.)

Kid Cat: Hey, how's that Hayley kid holding up? You know, the one who rolled by the other day?Anyway, I continued working my way around town, watering my flowers. Two new black roses popped up today. I heard someone crying behind Nook ‘n’ Go. Of course, it was Katie. Ugh. She got separated from her mom in Anville (Olivia’s town). Sorry cat, I can’t help you.

Katie: ...I hafta get to Anville! Jeff: Buy a map, kid.I shot down a balloon present and it contained a school chair. I then stopped and saved my game.
