Late last night, Wendy let me visit her town to sell some perfect peaches. I also stopped to take a look at her illuminated tree. This will look really nice around Christmas time.
Then today, I got my gift from Gulliver in the mail. It was a matryoshka from Russia. It’s the set of three cannibalistic dolls that eat each other.
And I noticed that the grass and trees are now a lighter, yellower shade of green.
Over by the brick bridge, I saw a spot marked off for a new home. Kidd the goat will be moving in tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’ll like him or not. Time will tell.
But Kidd’s nearest neighbor Rolf must not be a fan. Because he told me he was going to be moving out of town on the 13th of this month. Sorry tiger, but you’re not going anywhere.
Over by town hall, Tabby and Canberra, of all people, were discussing beauty routines! Ha!
When they finished their conversation, I talked to Tabby. She asked me for some fruit. So naturally, I gave her a lemon.
In return, she gave me a pink pj shirt…thanks.
But unlike when I saw Tabby, I was happy to see Aurora. In fact, she even asked if I had a dorado in my pocket. Indeed I did, and she bought it from me for a cool 18,000 bells.
I made a quick trip out to the island and bought this snorkel mask for 20 medals.
I was hoping it would let me swim without a wet suit, but no such luck.
And back up in town, I noticed how the grass underneath my flowers has not grown back at all.
Those flowers have been there for quite a while, too. This is very discouraging. I no longer believe that the grass situation in New Leaf is any better than it was in City Folk. What a pain.
I think it looks really nice there. You can’t walk through it, though. 😛 I soon returned to town hall to trigger the grand opening ceremony for the zen garden.
Afterwards, I talked to Aurora. She must have noticed me watching her hospital TV the other night, because she gave it to me today!
And Rolf asked me to do him a solid. Excuse me?
I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, talking about dolls within dolls.
He’s apparently on his way to Russia.
Next, I headed up to Re-Tail. I shook a couple of trees along the way, when a bee came out at me! I started to run, but then realized I could probably catch it. Switching to my net, I pulled back, and swung…GOTCHA!
After selling the stuff in my pockets, I made my way up to Club LOL to watch K.K. perform. He sang K.K. Moody for me and then gave me the aircheck. Interesting cover…
As you probably know, I’m not too fond of my newest neighbor Canberra. But she earned some respect today. She said that Tabby looks like a red snapper; suspicious and weird! Thank you! I was happy to hear her say that. Because that means I didn’t have to say it. I almost wanted to give Canberra a high-five.
And on the other side of town hall, I found Tabby, all depressed. And believe it or not, I wasn’t even the cause of it this time! Then again, maybe she overheard what Canberra said.
Up in Re-Tail, Benedict showed interest in my golden clock. Perhaps he thought it was a golden cluck. At any rate, my asking price of 15,000 was too expensive for him. It’s really intended for Wi-Fi visitors though, in case any of them wants to buy it or trade it for a golden furniture piece that I need.
And in the cafe, Phyllis thought I was hitting on her! Me? Her? 
After I was done working my shift and making my rounds, I decided to put in a new public works project. I scrolled through my list of choices and decided on the zen garden. I like the way it looks, but don’t expect many more zen items in my town. Everything zen? I don’t think so.
I paid it off right away and headed back to town hall. On my way, I ran into Molly. She offered to buy my emperor butterfly for 4,500 bells! They normally sell for 2,500 bells, so that’s a good deal. Sold!
I then went inside and Isabelle confirmed that the zen garden will be completed tomorrow.
After I update my dream town sometime tomorrow, you’ll be able to visit it yourself through the Dream Suite if you want. But even if you don’t, I’ll be sure to post another update tomorrow showing it off. I hope to see you then!
