Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the third time this year so far.

I went around town to collect Gulliver’s missing UFO parts and then returned them.

Gulliver thanked me by giving me a pagoda. It’s the 4th one he has given me. One, two, three, four pagodas, ah ah ah.

When I spoke with Derwin, he was talking about doing exercises before taking a bath. And then he started talking about bugs and how their bodies are so crunchy. Derwin is an odd little fellow.

He was (indirectly) asking to have a competition to see who could catch a yellow butterfly first. But it was already nighttime, and those bugs weren’t out, so I declined his request.

I played again today, and Derwin again asked for a yellow butterfly. But this time, I had one ready for him. He actually got mad at me for “being so competitive!” This is what he wanted, though!

He did reward me with 510 bells, but I don’t appreciate his rudeness.

When I visited Frobert, I noticed that he had a pair of pears! 🍐🍐

However, he also had a pair of melons. 🍉🍉

It was raining in town last night, and Frobert was being poetic about it. He said the “savage drops of night rain” don’t scare him at all. 😆

He asked me to deliver a letter to Derwin, but Derwin didn’t show me the letter. Frobert then rewarded me with a ukulele.

Over on the bulletin board, I saw a notice posted about the Flower Fest. The results are in, and Marina was declared the winner!

I have no idea what criteria Tortimer used to determine that Marina’s flower garden was the best, but congrats to Marina regardless! 🐙

Saharah was in town, and she asked me to help out with some deliveries. I took a carpet package over to Mabel, another carpet to Tom Nook, and some wallpaper to Pelly (for Phyllis).

When I returned to Saharah, she rewarded me with a Saharah’s Desert (flooring).

Pippy told me she was obsessed with fortune telling, and she wanted to practice on me. She said my lucky sound of the day was ear-splitting polka. 🎶

Today, Chief told me that it’s cool to collect a hoard of cool items…and I wasn’t sure where he was going with this…

But he was apparently talking about my house having so many things in it? He said my “greedy lifestyle” isn’t for him. Wow. And I said nothing to provoke this, either. He’s just being a jerk for no reason.

When I visited Frobert, he wasn’t much better. First, he said I was looking haggard…

And then he told me not to breathe near him, because he didn’t want to catch my cold! I don’t have a cold! My villagers just irritate me sometimes in this game. 😛

When Pippy asked me for some blue furniture, I decided to give her the elephant slide I had been saving for Robin. (Robin hasn’t asked for more blue furniture in over a month.) Pippy loved the slide, and she rewarded me with 510 bells.

On Wednesday, Pippy told me that Blathers looked really blue.

She even suggested that maybe he fell into a pit of blueberries! 🫐

I went to the museum to chat with Blathers, but he wasn’t physically blue. He was just feeling blue, because he said Brewster almost got fooled by Crazy Redd until Blathers stepped in to save the day.

The Flower Fest is underway this week, and each of my villagers has a garden of flowers set up outside their home. As a quick example, here is Pippy’s garden:

And of course, the villagers like to chat about their gardens and their strategies. Truffles apparently considers herself a neat freak, which I wouldn’t have suspected for a pig.

When I spoke with Tortimer, he told me about the event and he gave me a bag of red tulip seeds.

Robin felt good about her chances of winning. In fact, she basically guaranteed a win for herself! We’ll see about that…

Yesterday, Marina asked about my flower garden. She wondered if my flowers were still alive. 😆 But I didn’t have any flowers to begin with!

Today, Chief told me his strategy: Yelling insults at the flowers until they bloom. I’m not sure that will work, but it certainly sounds like something Chief would do. 😛

While visiting Robin, I noticed that one of her elephant slides is gone now. She just has the one remaining. I’ll have to re-stock her supply if she ever asks for furniture again. 😛

I noticed that Whitney had some a hybrid flower (some purple pansies) outside her house.

So if I was the judge of the Flower Fest (which I’m not), Whitney would get my vote to be the winner (aka the Green Thumb). But it’s Tortimer’s decision, not mine.

As for the flowers Tortimer gave me each day (three of them in total), I planted them outside of my house today. I know that’s not going to be enough to win the Flower Fest, but at least I’m sort-of participating. 😛 I’ll find out the winner next week.

One other note: I posted my latest Wild World video episode today, episode 86:
