While I was watering my flowers today, I noticed a balloon present floating by to the north. I thought this made for a nice picture of me watching it go by. I did eventually shoot it down; it contained an upright piano.
After not seeing Pete around town between 5:00 and 5:30, plus the absence of any other visitors, I knew the UFO would be making an appearance this evening.
When the time came, I ran up and down my main north/south path. I saw the UFO flying left to right along the highest route. Instead of running directly under it (possibly going too far), I first headed east. I have spots marked off so I know where to stand, and I stood there. Within a couple seconds, the UFO flew overhead and I shot it.
As I was looking for the spaceship part, I saw a dig spot. I dug it up and got a rare mushroom. That’s worth a whopping 16,000 bells.
I spotted the spaceship part just below the cliff. I can give that to Gulliver tomorrow for another piece of his rare furniture.
Two minutes later, another balloon present flew by. I shot it down and got a green pipe. I was able to snap this picture mid-pop.
That’s a lot of slingshot action for one day. Check back tomorrow to see which item Gulliver gives me.
I watered my flowers and found three new black roses today. One of them was from my blue rose hot spot next to Scott’s house.
Saharah was in town once again, looking for old carpeting. Just like she was four days ago. Since Bill was gone and Ruby was sick, I only had eight villagers I could ask for carpets. Only Mint and Butch helped me out. But since I still had an old carpet in storage from last time, I had enough to get a rare carpet. Unfortunately, Saharah gave me the boxing ring mat, which I didn’t need or want.
I saw Gigi, and she asked me to give her a new greeting. That was a mistake.
I went into Bill’s house and he is all packed and ready to move out. So I talked to him for the last time.
I found one new black rose today. Also, I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen any rain in a long time. I had a similar drought this time last year, when it didn’t rain for over two months straight. I may not get relief until the snow comes in December.
