Flower Fest 2023

Now that it’s early April, many trees around town are now pink. Wild World and the other older games use a darker shade of pink than the newer games, but they’re still a pretty sight to behold. 🌸

It’s also Flower Fest week, and Tortimer was standing outside of town hall. Of course, he only talks about his aching feet, so he’s really unnecessary for this event. πŸ˜›

Tortimer: Oh, Jeff... I'm so tired. My feet ache from standing here all day...

Many of my villagers have flower gardens set up for the competition, even if half of their flowers were wilted. I guess Forest needs some rain. 🌧️

Mitzi's flower garden. Half of her flowers were wilted.

And yet, Mitzi was quite confident that she was going to win the contest. Several other villagers echoed this sentiment.

Mitzi: I'm SO going to win. Beneath these dirty fingers lurk thumbs of purest green!

Eloise was confident too, but she seemed more exhausted by all the work she’s spent gardening. Yeah, I guess that can’t be easy for an elephant to do.

Eloise: My clothes and shoes all smell like flowers. And dirt.

There was a new house, and I went inside to meet Butch’s replacement. It was Caroline, the red squirrel with huge eyes. πŸ‘€ I kinda like her, even if her eyes look slightly freaky. πŸ˜›

Caroline: Nice to meet you! Out for a nice evening walk, are you, hulaaaa?

Peanut was still sick with a cold, so I gave her another dose of medicine.

I don’t plan on participating in the Flower Fest, not even to cheat and steal my villagers’ flowers. πŸ˜› But good luck to all of you who are competing this year! πŸ™‚ 🌹🌷🌼🌻
