Maple Leaves

Yesterday morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae. She was charging just 90 bells per turnip, and I bought 1,100 of them (for a total of 99,000 bells).

Daisy Mae: You here to start your Sunday off with some fresh turnips?

When I checked the mail, I got my latest house evaluation from the Happy Home Academy. They gave me 136,962 points, which is just a slight improvement over last week. I have more work to do!

When I visited Hornsby, he told me that he wanted to be a superhero. But not just any superhero, a flying superhero! That would have to be some special cape to get a rhino off the ground!

Hornsby: I wanna be a superhero that can fly! If there's somebody who needs saving, I"ll swoop right in!

Today (November 16th) marks the start of maple leaf season. Maple leaves will now fall from the sky, and some of them can be caught and used for crafting. Also, Isabelle gave me a DIY recipe for a red-leaf pile.

This maple leaf is such a pretty red. It's like the exact color of fall!

I was surprised to get a letter from Daisy Mae in the mail. She sent me three bamboo shoots, although I had no use for them.

Celeste was in town tonight, and she gave me a recipe for a lunar surface!

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a lunar surface!

My collection of space recipes is growing, slowly but surely. I made a lunar surface, and put it in my space room upstairs.

Agent S mentioned moving out of town, but I quickly ended that possibility.

After I woke Apple up from dreaming twice, she started talking about how she has trouble catching dragonflies. She even called them “little dorks!”

Apple: But the little dorks always zip off the second I get close!

She asked me to catch one for her, so I gave her a damselfly I already had in my pockets. She thanked me and gave me a floor light in return.

Near the sumo ring, I made more changes to the cliffs I added on Saturday night. I decided that I didn’t like them cutting through the archway, so I separated them a bit…even though that means people can’t jump from one to the other.

And because of limited space, the right one is just one level now. But both sides will have a bench where people can sit to watch sumo battles. And to make them look nicer, I added in some waterfalls. I still might make changes, but I do like this area better now than I did on Saturday.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Yucca, Blowfish

It’s Saturday night, and that means it’s K.K. night! I asked him for a random song, and he performed “Wandering” for me, Keaton, Bones, and Rizzo. I enjoyed how Rizzo seemed to be on the other side of K.K. from the rest of us. 😛

K.K. Slider performs for Keaton, Jeff, Bones, and Rizzo in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

After the show, I shook a tree and something called “Yucca” fell out! That sounded a bit too close to Yuka for my tastes. But I checked it out, and it’s just a potted plant. 😛

I later wrapped it up and gave it to Midge. In return, she gave me a suit with stand-up collar.

Even though we’re nearly halfway through November, I still have only acquired two of the mushroom DIY recipes! And one of them was from Isabelle. It’s not looking good for me unlocking them all before November is over. Unless the pace picks up, that is…but I have no idea if/why it would.

I put on my island designer hat and I experimented with making some cliffs just south of the sumo ring. It could provide some seating to watch sumo battles from up in the air. It still looks pretty rough, and I may not keep it…but it’s worth playing around with to see if the idea pans out.

My possible new area overlooking the sumo ring.

I put one of the spooky arches from that area in my house. The Happy Home Academy will be grading houses overnight, so I thought I better at least make a minor change.

When I went back outside, I caught my first blowfish. And of course, I made sure to donate it to the museum.

I caught a blowfish! I'm blown away!

I was unable to give Bones a present today, because he was seated near K.K. for the entire time I played tonight. Until 11:00 p.m., that is, when he was sleeping in his house. 😛

I posted my latest video today, New Horizons Moments #4. I hope you’ll give it a watch.

See you all next time!

Another Vacation Fail

I got the detailed painting in the mail from Jolly Redd today. As expected, Blathers told me it was a fake.

Label was in town, and yet again, she wanted me to wear a “vacation” outfit. She gave me a top coat to use as an example. So I checked my storage. I decided to add a top hat to go with the top coat, and I also changed into some hi-tech sneakers and denim pants. But Label was not impressed.

Label: Your outfit does have a bit of the vacation thing going on...and some of your own unique style as well.

She didn’t give me another item, but she will be sending me a tailors ticket in the mail.

Wisp was in town tonight, and I collected his spirits for him. For my reward, he gave me a pennant.

Wisp: Here, have...a pennant!

I gave wrapped gifts to Agent S, Midge, Louie, and Bones. I had no luck getting any of their photos yet. But hey, at least I got a cool apron. 🙄

Agent S: Here, I'll trade you! It's an apron and I hear you LOVE those!

I even gave Rizzo a mushroom for being such a fun guy, and he seemed to like it. 😛

Rizzo: I'll give this a real good home... in my belly! Gahaha!
