The snow of winter melted this week, and my ice brick paths stuck out like a sore thumb.

So I went to Able Sisters right away yesterday and changed it back to green bricks. Mabel looked a bit different, though. 😉

Back in town, I found a lost item (a bag, to be specific).

I returned it to Molly, who said something really important was inside…but she didn’t say what it was. She rewarded me with a mango.

When I put some bells into my savings account, my balance reached 138 million bells.

Tonight, Molly asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she was overflowing with appreciation.

She gave me a display shelf to thank me for the amazing piece of fruit.

Saharah was in town, and I paid her 3,000 bells to redecorate my house (or at least my main room).

She installed a skyscraper wall and a music-room floor.

I went over to Club LOL to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show, and I saw my former villagers Daisy and Hamlet in there. (FYI, both of them moved out of Forest in 2016!) I asked K.K. for a random song, and he performed “My Place” for the three of us. Good song!

Last Thursday, the Reset Center entrance was open once again. I dropped in for another visit, and they had the voice-recognition system set up. Resetti warned me not to press the button and say “Scramble!” He also warned that I should probably avoid saying “Crumble” as well.

But I wanted to test it out (of course), so I went up to it and said “Crumble!” That set the test in motion, and Resetti wanted to reset. 😆

He launched away, yelling about his…girdle? Too much information there, Sonny.

Back up on the surface, I resumed my walk around town and noticed the northern lights up in the sky. Here they are above Lolly’s house. They’re pretty!

On Saturday night, I checked out the fishing tourney results on the bulletin board. Congrats to Rolf on the win!

Boots didn’t rank in the top-three, but he dreamed that he was on the winner’s podium anyway. 😆

The next day, Rolf gave me a free golf bag. That was nice of him, but it’s not that unusual to get a gift from him…in fact, it’s par for the course. ⛳

I didn’t play on Monday, so I didn’t participate in Festivale this year. At least, not in New Leaf. But if any of you participated, I’d love to hear how it went in the comments! 🦚

Today, I was stacking my bags of bells after finding the money rock when I heard someone fall into a pitfall! It was the pitfall behind the Splatoon face-cutout standee, and it was Lolly that fell into it! Aww, poor Lolly! 😟

Hornsby asked me for a pear, so I tracked one down for him. After he ate it, he used his catchphrase in a very logical way. He said the pear was so tasty, he ate it! 😛

He rewarded me with a pastel-dot rug. A bit later, Aurora gave me a blue dot parasol. I’m not saying those two gifts are related, but it’s not hard to connect the dots. 😉

Inkwell asked me for some new furniture, so I bought him a wooden bucket from Harv at the campground. Inkwell loved it, and he rewarded me with a cabin wardrobe.

On January 14th, I returned a lost item to Inkwell. He said it was his magic workout dust!

He rewarded me with a washing machine, but I don’t like the way he told me I could use one. 😛

On Monday (January 26th), I found Moe camping over at the campsite.

As cute as he is (at least when his eyes are closed), I did not invite him to move in. But it was nice to see him!

On Tuesday, the entrance to the Reset Center was open, so I dropped in for a visit. But Resetti wasn’t home, so I just chatted with Don instead. However, he didn’t have much to say.

It was Aurora’s birthday, so I made sure to attend her party. I gave her a sparrow’s nest that I bought from Harvey at the drive-in campground.

As you can see, Rolf was also at the party. Happy birthday, Aurora!

On Wednesday, Molly asked me for some perfect fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she loved it. She thanked me by giving me a bathroom sink.

Tonight, I delivered a watering trough to Lolly that she left at someone’s house.

It seems like all of these favors this month have involved an item that uses (or contains) water! The washing machine, the bathroom sink, and now a watering trough. I guess it’s a sink or swim situation. 😛 Anyway, Lolly rewarded me with a captain’s jacket. And fortunately, it was completely dry.

It was snowing tonight, and my pockets were starting to fill up with six snowflakes that I caught. So I figured I had better look for today’s snowballs and roll up a Snowmam. I did, and she was perfect!

I traded in the six snowflakes for an ice wall and an ice side table. ❄️❄️ Ice is frozen water, so does that fit the water theme too? Or should I table this discussion already? 😉
