I received a letter from town hall today, informing me that I earned 27,730 bells in interest on my bank account. Not bad!

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and Cornimer is hanging out near town hall. He told me that he uses his special powers to scatter acorns around town. That’s not exactly the most impressive superpower, if you ask me. 😛

You can find acorns under trees around town, but it requires a lot of walking back and forth to take them to Cornimer (since our pocket space is limited to 15 items, and no stacking in this game).

You must dispose of the rotten acorns to avoid angering Cornimer, and give him only the good acorns. But Tortimer can also give you a fortune. Mine didn’t really reveal much, though.

Wolfgang really seemed to be enjoying the festival. A little too much, if you ask me. 😛

Today is also Goose’s birthday, and I bought an oil drum at the shop to give him as a gift. But by the time I got to his party, I was kinda falling asleep as I played. 😴 And I accidentally gave him an unidentified fossil! Oops! 😲

But he still accepted it, and he even gave me a raven pole in return.

Eloise was still sick, so I gave her some cold medicine.

After giving him Tortimer a total of 63 acorns, I earned a mush stool, a mush end table, a mush lamp, a mush chair, and a mush dresser. I didn’t need them, so I sold them to Tom Nook for a total of 10,750 bells.

You have until Sunday to participate in the Acorn Festival, so good luck! 🙂

On Wednesday, I found a note in a bottle on a beach. It was a letter from a husband to his wife, expressing his appreciation for her. It’s a nice gesture, but why did he throw it into the ocean instead of giving it to her?

“Honey, I have something important to tell you. I wrote it in a note and threw it into the water. Start swimming now, and you just might find it someday!”

When I ran into Peanut, she informed me that she is the town’s heroine!

She said she was on patrol, watching over Forest’s peace.

I think she was just taking a walk. But okay, Peanut. If you say so.

Yesterday, Eloise was all packed up to move out of town (just nine days after moving in)! But unlike Maelle earlier this month, she was not allowed to leave. She needs to stick around for a while!

Wendell was in town today, and he was as hungry as ever.

As I was speaking to him, a shooting star flew by overhead (which I couldn’t wish on). But I gave Wendell a salmon I caught, and he gave me a “Point 1 pattern.” That’s one that I haven’t seen before!

Butch told me that Goose’s birthday is coming up on October 4th, which is next Tuesday. Butch told me I should stop by and say “happy birthday” for once. 😂 I’m not sure what he’s upset about; I didn’t miss his birthday or anything (that’s coming up in November).

Eloise was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon!

I emptied out all of the change in my pockets and put it into the bank. This is the last day of the month, so I want to maximize my bank account interest. 💰

The Acorn Festival starts next week, and I’ll be back with another entry then! 🙂

On Wednesday (September 21st), Maelle’s replacement moved in: It’s Eloise the yellow elephant! She’s a big improvement over Maelle, if you ask me.

I’ve now had Eloise in four of the five main Animal Crossing games: In all games except New Leaf.

Interestingly enough, Eloise has the same wallpaper as Peanut…who stepped in some black tea she spilled. 😛

Today, I wasn’t paying attention to the time when I heard a UFO flying by! Fortunately, it was flying from west to east, and I happened to be in the western part of town when I noticed it. So I had time to get my slingshot out, catch up to the UFO, and shoot it down!

After I retrieved Gulliver’s five UFO parts, he rewarded me with a Mouth of Truth. That’s the same thing he gave me last time (in July), but I decided to keep this one too; I put it in storage for now.

Goose asked to have a competition to see who could catch a bell cricket first. Since they’re pretty common, I was up to the challenge. I caught one and returned it to Goose for an easy win.

He rewarded me with a broken post. That’s the same item that Bones gave me last week. Are they going around breaking fences and pretending the broken parts are good gifts to give out? 🤔
