Last Sunday, I participated in the fireworks festival for the first time this year. Mayor Tortimer gave me a Roman candle, and I used it to give him a turtle wax. It’s an old, sacred tradition. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Lighting<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Scoot was nearby, and he told me that he got some ash in his mouth! Maybe his mouth was hanging open in awe, and the ashes fell in. (Gotta catch ’em all!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Scoot:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I also made sure to enjoy the fireworks in the sky. \ud83c\udf86 I just didn’t leave my mouth hanging open. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Watching<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Felicity was still sick with a cold, so I gave her another dose of medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I soon focused on catching bugs, and I continued even after the fireworks stopped. I made about 245,000 bells on the night, in a bit over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight, Felicity sent me a letter to thank me for the medicine I’ve given her lately. She attached a deluxe range. Now <\/em>we’re cooking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pecan was telling me that she’s careful not to eat food with additives. So she just eats fish that she catches fresh from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pecan:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I made my way around to the Roost, where I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “K.K. Fusion” for me. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"K.K.:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I finished chatting with everyone, I did some more bug hunting. Interestingly, I didn’t spot any tarantulas, scorpions, or sharks tonight! But I did see just about everything else, including four or five scarab beetles. In total, I made about 215k in my 1+ hour session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m now very <\/em>close to my summer goal, and I should have no problem topping it. The only question is, by how much? There’s a bit over a week to go in August, and I’m hoping to have several more bug-hunting sessions before wrapping up summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you all next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
