Changing the Law

It seems like I’ve been burying a lot of time capsules lately, and Rolf just added to the list earlier this week. I buried his capsule in the usual spot.

Rolf: Cool. You can find the time capsule in the letters section in your stuff. Thanks for helping out, skippy!

While trying to catch a butterfly off of a cliff, I noticed something. I was able to hit the gold roses below with my net, causing some petals to fly off!

Since I haven’t been spending as much time in New Leaf lately, I realized that I probably don’t need the night owl ordinance any more. So I decided to change back to the beautiful town ordinance. I already have the gold weeding badge now, so the lack of weeds around town is not a problem.

But Isabelle reminded me that I need 20,000 bells to make the change. Wait, why? I’m the mayor? Who do I pay this to…myself?

Isabelle: I should have mentioned that the law says you need 20,000 bells on hand when changing ordinances.

So I got some money out of the bank and tried again. The new ordinance went into effect today.

~Forest News~ Forest established the Keep Forest Beautiful ordinance starting today! Let's try to keep our town clean of trash and weeds!

Even though my paths are lined with gold roses, which don’t need to be watered, I do have other hybrids at various spots around town. Not having to water them will be a help. And now I’ll be able to skip a day of playing here and there if I need to.

Big Top approached me tonight, and gave me a frog costume for always helping him out. I hop he doesn’t expect me to actually wear this.

Big Top: Since you're always helping me out, I got you a little present. It's a frog costume!
Excuse me if I don’t jump for joy.

Boots asked me to find a peach for him, so I grabbed a perfect peach from the tree right outside his house. When I gave it to him, his jaw dropped.

Boots: No way! And I can really have this?!

He loved the peach, and he gave me a sandbag as my reward.

Later, I went over to Club LOL to catch K.K. Slider’s Saturday night musical performance. Kabuki and Sprinkle were also there; K.K. played Bubblegum K.K. for us.
