Pierce Removal, Friday Night Forest

I checked my mail and saw a goodbye letter from Pierce.

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! -From your bud, PierceI opened my gate about 10:05 and Bradley came in, dressed up as Mario. A few minutes later, Bushido came in, dressed as Ness. I felt left out, being the only one not dressed as a Nintendo character. I was already wearing a monocle, so I put on the golden brick pattern and said “I’m Golden Eye.”

Jeff, wearing a gold brick pattern and a monocle: I'm Golden Eye.I’m aware that Golden Eye isn’t a Nintendo character, but it was my feeble attempt at fitting in. 😛 And Bradley had already changed out of his Mario outfit by the time I took this picture, but oh well.

BushyNess mentioned that my house is still a mess, thanks to all the Roman candles I have lying around everywhere. And it’s true that I haven’t worked on my house in a long time. That may change in October…

After we were done in my house, I continued watering my flowers. I found one new black rose today. Bushy decided to leave, and then I replaced the bikini patterns in the Able Sisters shop, since summer is officially over now. Also, I planted some flowers in the dirt spot that used to be Pierce’s house.

Bradley and I did some fishing.

I caught a moray eel! Now that's a moray!Unfortunately, we caught a lot of sea bass. We just threw them back. I did catch a nice variety of fish though, even if they weren’t particularly valuable. A moray eel, a sea horse, a zebra turkeyfish to name a few.

I picked up some Roman candles off my floor and gave some to Bradley. We had some fun burning them off. Bradley left around 11:00. I kept my gate open for a while after that, in case anyone else came. By 11:35, I gave up and closed my gate for the night. I may go to Bradley’s town tomorrow night, though.

Four New Black Roses

A whopping four new black roses appeared today. That ties my all-time best. Two of them were formed from a line of other black roses near my fountain. Those two are shown in the picture below.

A Pike, Saharah, and Two Yellow Balloons

While watering my flowers, I saw a large shadow in the river. I got my fishing rod out and caught a pike. Haven’t caught one of those in a long time. It sold for 1,800 bells.

But fortunately, I had two of them in storage, which gave me the three total that I needed for a rare carpet. I gave them to Saharah and she gave me a tropical floor.
