On Sunday, the fireworks festival was held. It was the 2nd one of the season, but the first one that I’ve participated in this year. Ankha was at the plaza (along with several other villagers), and she gave me a free sparkler, so that I could enjoy the lights in the sky and in front of me.
Isabelle gave me a heart bopper, so I put it on and set off my sparkler. 🎇
After that, I sat and enjoyed the fireworks for a few minutes.
The next day, I spotted three paper kite butterflies all flying in the same area (all on-screen at once). That’s not something you see every day.
While I was chatting with Timmy in Nook’s Cranny, Peanut walked by and seemingly looked right at the camera. I think she saw me! 😛
I had a camper at the campsite, and it was a villager that I was not familiar with. It was Petri the mouse!
Her glasses look like they’re all fogged up, and I don’t know how she can even see through them. Also, the insides of her ears are different colors! One is red and one is blue; they remind me of those old 3D glasses.
On Tuesday, I ran into Pascal while diving in the sea. He shared some wise words about wishing wells with me.
I spotted a banded dragonfly, and I began to chase it all over my island…but I was having trouble keeping up with it. I kept losing it, then finding it, then losing it again. It took me over seven minutes, but I eventually caught it!
Usually when I have that much trouble with a banded dragonfly, I end up losing it for good. So I was fortunate to track it down this time. Flick was in town too, so I sold it, along with 19 other bugs from storage, to him for 109,350 bells.
Yesterday, Peanut asked if she could visit my house…and I said yes. I made the right choice, because shortly after arriving at my house, she gave me a gift she picked out for me: Her photo!! Thank you, Peanut!
I was thrilled to get her photo! (She’s been in town about 3.5 months, if you’re keeping track.) I also won an emblem blazer in a game of “High Card, Low Card” with her. I kept speaking to her, but she didn’t want to leave…and I didn’t want to force her out after she just gave me her photo. So I basically just waited there for 15 minutes until she was ready to go. 😆
Once she was gone, I added her photo to my villager photo room (it’s my 25th picture). Her favorite quote on the back is “Never take a nibble when you can take a bite.”
I now have all of my current villagers’ photos. So maybe it’s about time for a new villager.
Today, Katrina told me that my luck with money would improve…and it was true. I got 5,000 bells from the daily glowing spot (instead of 1,000), and the money rock’s 8 hits scored me 26,000 bells (instead of 16k or so).
Bones told me that he heard I got stung by a wasp yesterday. But he reminded me that a wasp sting isn’t as bad as a crocodile bite. Good point, Bones. 🐊
C.J. was in town, and I caught three big-time fish in a row to complete his seasports challenge. After selling those initial catches, I grabbed 23 fish from storage. I sold them for 278,625 bells. 💰
See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
