Perfect Painting

Redd sent me my perfect painting in the mail, so I rushed it over to the museum. Blathers informed me that it was real! 🙂 From its spot in the art gallery, you can actually see all three of my paintings so far.

Perfect painting: Apples and Oranges, Paul Cezanne, circa 1899, oil on canvas.

Just a heads-up about seashells: New (blue) summer shells can now be found on the beach. And of course, there are new recipes that require them. So pick them up and save them if you see them!

Agent S talked about the idea of frosting a cupcake with toothpaste and watching someone take a bite. A cruel prank perhaps, but she just used it as an example to teach me the mischief reaction. She better watch out for toothpaste-frosted acorns now! 😉

I learned the mischief reaction! Heh heh heh heh heh...

Saharah was in town, and I bought an exquisite wall and flowing-river flooring from her. I already had the flowing-river flooring, but I think I’ll hang onto it and use it as a prize for Friday Night Forest. I think I’ll have another obstacle course tournament, if people are interested. That’s because I think I’ll be removing my obstacle course soon. I have a new idea for something else I want to make in Forest, and I’ll need that space to make it.

At town hall, I used the Nook Stop to check out the new seasonal items. They include a handmade cape and handmade crown (both for International Children’s Day), and a thank-you Dad mug (for Father’s Day).

Celeste was in town tonight. I talked to her repeatedly, but she didn’t have any new recipes for me. So why even visit? 🤷

Celeste: Well, have a splendid rest of the night! I know I shall.

Apple gave me a free viking helmet, so I put it on for the time being.

Out on Harv’s island, Reese wanted to take some photos of a wedding reception.

Reese: So, we've already done the ceremony photos... I think it would be fun to recreate the reception this time!

Some new items were available, including a wedding table, wedding chair, and wedding-party wall. I don’t particularly enjoy designing rooms, especially when it’s just a temporary thing and not part of my house. I wasn’t a big fan of Happy Home Designer either. But I quickly threw a room together using just the supplied items. 😛

Reese gave me a wedding table for my help, along with some more heart crystals as well.

As I was leaving the island, Wilbur informed me that Dodo Airlines now dabbles in item delivery and liquidation. So apparently you can ship some of your pocket items home through the mail, or sell them to Wilbur at 80% value (just like you’d get from the drop box at Nook’s Cranny).

Back at home, my black rose count is up to eleven, and my flower garden was filling up. So I decided to line the path in front of my house with them.

Even though I really like red hyacinths, I kinda went overboard with them at the beginning. So I’m (slowly) trying to replace some of them with other flowers, so there’s a bit more variety around town.

I caught a few new fish for the museum today, including the gar, ribbon eel, tilapia, and hammerhead shark.
