On Sunday morning, I bought 2,200 turnips from Daisy Mae, at a price of 93 bells each. I also picked up 50 more turnips from Joan at the hospital on Monday.

On Tuesday, Klaus was camping a the campsite. This was his 2nd time camping here (the first was in 2022). I still don’t want him here. 😛

Yesterday morning, the Nooklings were paying 247 bells for turnips. So I gathered up all all that I had, and I sold them for 555k!

After the sale, I heard some beeping, and I knew what that meant: I completed the “Cornering the Stalk Market” Nook Miles achievement! Finally!

This means the only achievement I still need to complete is the “Popular Pen Pal” one. I just need to write 67 more letters for that one. 😆 I may have to force myself to write some letters. Otherwise, it would probably take years.

Today, I found a scallop while diving…and of course, Pascal wasn’t far behind. He told me about his problem with water bottles and chip bags…and his soggy solution.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me model a fairy tale outfit. She suggested things like knights, princesses, and storybook characters. She gave me a thief’s costume to use as an example, but I instead went with a knight’s outfit.

She loved the look, and she rewarded me with a Labelle coat.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• Last Saturday, Dodo Airlines sent me my nine bell vouchers (from the May Day tour), and Rover sent me Rover’s briefcase.
• On Sunday, I caught a coelacanth in the rain. 🙂
• Flick was in town yesterday, and I sold him 30 bugs for 133,500 bells. 🤑

Have a good weekend, and I’ll see you next time! 🙂

Now that May is here, we’re starting to get more of the summer bugs around. I caught my first banded dragonfly of the year on Wednesday.

Last night, June asked me to play a treasure hunt game. She only gave me three minutes, but I only needed about half that long. It was near my southeastern bridge.

I took it back to June, and she opened it up for me. My prize was a hand-knit tank. I’ll never wear it, but thank you June! 😆

Poppy the squirrel was camping at the campsite. She’s super cute, but I didn’t ask her to move in.

The annual May Day tour is available this week, so I headed out to the special island today. There are two different May Day mazes in the game, and they alternate each year. This year’s maze is the same one we got in 2020 and 2022.

I made my way through the maze, and I got lost a few times. 😛 But at least I didn’t mess up and didn’t have to restart the maze. At the end, I found my old buddy Rover. It’s nice to see him again, even if it’s just once a year in this game.

I made sure to collect all nine of the bell vouchers before returning to Forest.

Here are a few other quick notes about this past week:

• June was sick with a cold on Tuesday. I gave her some medicine, and she rewarded me with a simple parka.
• That same day, Wisp gave me a simple stool.
• Yesterday, I retrieved Gulliver’s phone parts for him. He sent me another sombrero in the mail today.

Have a good weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time. 🙂

On Wednesday, one of my most-hated New Leaf villagers showed up at my campsite here in New Horizons. It was Katt!

This was actually the 2nd time she has camped here; the first time was just eight months ago (last August). Needless to say, I did not invite her into town. 😛

Not far from the campsite, a tarantula jumped up into the air when he saw me. While he was airborne, I ran right past him.

I was running for my life, and I quickly scampered across a bridge. Since the tarantula was too stupid to know how bridges work, he apparently fell into the river and died. It’s not often I actually survive these things, so it was a nice feeling. 😆

Thursday, I caught my first Atlas moth of the year. This is just a preview of the summer bugs that will come out in the coming months. But catching these big tree bugs is always so satisfying to me. 🙂

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night show. I did something unusual by requesting a song this time. So K.K. performed Steep Hill for me and Louie.

Here are a few other quick notes about this past week:

• Flick was in town on Tuesday, and I sold him 17 bugs for 78,000 bells.
• Wednesday, I caught Wisp’s spirits for him, and he gave me an outdoor folding table.
• Rio was sick, so I gave her some medicine. She rewarded me with a dotted raincoat.
• C.J. was in town Wednesday, but I only had an oarfish to sell him (for 13,500 bells).

See you all next time!
