Snow now covers the ground in Forest, but I was also treated to another pretty winter sight tonight: Northern lights!

The northern lights in this game are usually mostly blue and purple, but I think I see some green in there too! Unless that’s just my colorblind eyes playing tricks on me. Here’s another photo from a nearby bridge:

Scoot asked me to deliver a gift to Mint, and I agreed to help out. At first, Mint was happy about receiving a present.

But when Mint saw the gift was an aurora knit, she wasn’t very happy. She said it didn’t fit her style, although she still put it on. I returned to Scoot and told him the news. His response was amazing.

He thanked me for making the delivery, and he rewarded me with 528 bells.

Chip was in town, which meant there was a fishing tournament today. I was playing too late to participate, but Chip told me that Felicity was the winner. She caught a 40.6-inch sea bass to take home the trophy. 🏆

When I visited Rosie, she was upset that it’s so hard to meet friends. That’s very relatable, although she was really just suggesting that I should bring some new people to Forest (which I can’t do any more).

Antonio was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon, Ant Man!

At the Roost, I checked out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed “Surfin’ K.K.” for me. Even though that’s a song that’s not typically on my radar, it’s actually a pretty good song.

Back out in the snow, I rolled up my first snowman of the winter. It turned out to be a great success, at least from the snowman’s viewpoint.

He should be sending me a gift in the mail. This went a lot better than my first New Horizons snowboy that I built earlier this evening.

On Sunday, I found a new house in the same spot where Fang was living recently. Inside, I found a new frog: Camofrog. I don’t recall if he has lived in ACCF Forest before…but if he did, it was before I started the blog in 2011.

I’m fairly neutral towards him. He’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t really dislike him either. He has the same carpet and wallpaper (boxing ring mat and ringside seating) as Big Top, though. And speaking of Big Top, I saw him in the Roost today. He said he starts to get sleepy around noon.

He even wondered if he could get Brewster to pour his coffee directly into his mouth, since he was too tired to lift his cup. Yeah, I don’t think that will happen.

Later tonight, I checked out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Technopop” for me.

After the show, I saw that Camofrog was home. I went in to see his house, now that he’s all unpacked. A few of his furniture items match the boxing theme, but he certainly seems to like blue furniture in general.

Wow, I just realized this blog entry has five screenshots, and they’re all taken in just two locations: The Roost and Camofrog’s house! Sorry for the lack of variety this week! 😆

I received Fang’s goodbye letter in the mail today. So long, friend.

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. (aka Turkey Day), and the game celebrates the occasion with the Harvest Festival. I met up with Tortimer outside of town hall, where there were banquet tables set up with dishes, fruit, drinks, and silverware. Mr. Mayor was looking forward to gorging himself silly.

Deena was also excited about the festival. This was before it officially started, though.

I cleaned out my upstairs room, moving out my Jingle furniture. In its place, I put my harvest furniture set from last year (except for the dresser, which I still needed). Those items have been on the ground in front of Nook ‘n’ Go for a full year now, so it’s good to finally have it cleaned up. 😆

As for the Jingle set, I left it out for my other character, Scott. His storage was full, so I just plopped it all down in his house.

At 3:00 p.m., the event officially started, and I got my first set of silverware from Tortimer.

So I began my search for Franklin. It didn’t take long, because his first hiding spot of the day was not only close to town hall, but it was right behind a sign post. He’s so much easier to spot when he hides behind these. 😆

Of course, I also chatted with my villagers too. Big Top knew about the fork and knife, but he wondered what to do with the spoon. He had an unusual idea, though…

I continued to find Franklin repeatedly, scoring more harvest furniture left and right. But a couple of times, I resorted to asking for hints when I had trouble tracking down the turkey.

After collecting about 10 items from Franklin (still without getting the dresser I needed), I took a break for a bit. When I returned, it was already dark out. But it only took me a few more tries before I finally got the dresser.

In all, I got 14 items from Franklin: Ten pieces of furniture and four wallpapers! I kept the dresser and sold everything else for 34,797 bells.

And of course, I put the dresser in my upstairs room to complete the set.

I’ve also added this screenshot to my new ACCF Harvest Festival Guide.

I hope you all had a successful Harvest Festival/Turkey Day! And Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃 Thank you all for checking out these blogs and watching my videos, I appreciate it! 😊
