Yesterday, carpeting was the premium item at Re-Tail. So I checked my storage and found four leftover special carpets to sell, from the ice, Pavé, and egg sets.
Today was Weeding Day, so I made sure to visit Leif at the event plaza before 7 p.m.
Believe it or not, this was my first time pulling weeds for Leif! For the first Weeding Day (in 2014), my town was clean and I just participated to unlock the topiaries. In 2015 and 2016, I missed Leif entirely! But I caught him this time.
Leif told me to pull the weeds in town and then return to him. After pulling one, I checked back and he told me I had 11 more to go.
So, I went around town and picked all the remaining weeds. Leif then congratulated me on a job well done.
He rewarded me with a “town cleanup prize,” which was a cosmos fan. Leif claimed to have made it himself, by hand, but I think he was just clowning around.
Here’s a look at the cosmos fan in my house:
And up at the Emporium, I saw that the gardening center was closed for the day. That’s because Leif can’t be in two places at the same time. 😛
And just before 7:00, I used my Booker character to speak with Leif at the plaza. Leif said that Forest was already clean and weed-free, but he still gave Booker a gift: a lily record player.
Later on, I got a letter in the mail from Leif. He sent me a stool fertilizer sample.
My recent dream visitors have been Ian from Somerset and Chris from Windburg. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend! I hope you all had a successful Weeding Day!
Today, I was surprised to find Pete outside of my house!
For a moment, I wondered if there was some new DLC. But it turns out, he was just letting me know that Booker’s mailbox was full. Disappointing. 😛
Booker is my seldom-used second character, in case you’re wondering. He moved into Forest 
Even though I already got Rodeo’s pic on 
Once I was finished playing, I saved my game…and then started it back up as Booker. His mailbox was going crazy, so I cleaned it out and sold all the presents I got in the mail (mostly gifts from Mom).
Rodeo asked me for some fruit yesterday, and I gave him a perfect cherry. He really seemed to enjoy it. I could almost see his love for cherries beaming through his eyes.
He then gave me an unexpectedly good reward: a laptop! A cherry for a laptop? Nice trade.
After I came out of Re-Tail today, Camofrog approached me. He had heard about my wonderful potty!
He said he’d love to have his own potty…you mean you don’t have one? He offered me 360 bells for it, and I gladly sold it to him. He’s really just flushing his money down the drain.
Vivian asked me for an ocean fish, so I headed down to the ocean. The first fish I caught was a zebra turkeyfish, so I took it back to Vivian 
She then rewarded me with a happi tee.
That item didn’t sound familiar, so I put it on to see what it looked like.
It didn’t make happi, so I’ll try to remember not to try that shirt on again.
