On Sunday, I got (perhaps?) my first look at Shino the deer over at the campsite. She looks pretty cool, but I did not invite her to town.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Beardo was in town again as a tourist, but without a place to stay. So of course, I…gave him a VIP room at the hotel? Yes! But I made it special<\/em>, just for him. \ud83d\ude09 First, I gave him some colorful Lego flooring and a couple of Lego items…in the hopes that he’ll step on some Lego blocks in the night. I also gave him the most uncomfortable bed I could find, a cardboard bed. He’s just sleeping on boxes. And I put up some dungeon wallpaper so he can enjoy the view. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The
Unpleasant dreams, Beardo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But Beardo wasn’t the only unwanted creature around on Sunday. The infamous Zipper T. Bunny was also in town! \ud83d\ude31 He reminded me about the eggs that have infiltrated every aspect of life in the game this week. You can’t escape them, no matter what! <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Zipper:
Enough of that, indeed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

April arrived yesterday, and that meant that cherry-blossom petals are now floating around. You can catch them with your net and use them for crafting. And of course, you’ll also find pink trees around town. Very pretty! \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Today, I shot down a blue balloon present and I was quite surprised to find a D.I.Y. recipe that I didn’t have yet! It was for a cherry-blossom wand!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"SWEET!<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I thought the cherry-blossom recipe I got last year was probably my last one, but I was wrong. Now is this <\/em>the last one? I never counted all my recipes, so I’m not sure. But…maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the eastern part of town (near Agent S’s house), I finally made some minor changes to an area that has been left mostly empty for a long time. First, I put in a pond, similar to (but not identical to) one that was an original feature of Forest. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

And just a bit north of that, I put in some colorful-lantern arches. Some of you may remember I once used other arches in this spot years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n

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

It’s pretty cool to run through them, especially in first-person view. But instead of a sumo ring at the end, it ends at the Game Boy face-cutout standee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bunny Day (aka Easter) is coming up on Sunday. If you’ll be participating, check out my Bunny Day Guide<\/a> for a refresher on how it all works! Note: I also have Bunny Day Guides for City Folk<\/a> and New Leaf<\/a> if you’re playing those games as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be back with another entry next week. Have a Happy Easter if you celebrate! \ud83d\udc30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
