The other night, Beth invited me over to Arrested. So many weeds had accumulated that Leif was there, talking in his sleep! I’ve seen that happen on Weeding Day before, but I didn’t realize it could happen other times too.
And now that Halloween is over, I cut down my dead trees and replanted some perfect peaches.
The arrival of November means that mushrooms will start appearing around town. Even though you can get them year-round near stumps, they can now appear near regular trees too. Here, I found an elegant mushroom next to my house: It’s worth 10,000 bells!
Some of those mushrooms will actually be mush furniture, such as this mush wall lamp. I don’t really care for the mush furniture, but I suppose it would grow on me if I gave it a chance.
I got a letter from the post office, informing me that I’ve earned 99,999 bells in interest on my bank account. Along with some other money I earned tonight, that helped my balance reach 84 million bells.
My most recent dream visitor was João from Onett. Thanks for stopping by!
Note: There is a Nintendo Direct video coming in the morning, focused solely on Animal Crossing. The bad news is that it reportedly will only discuss the New Leaf update that’s on the way, and not the Animal Crossing app or any possible Switch game. But at least we should get a firm date for the New Leaf update.
I’ll be back later in the day (or night) tomorrow with my thoughts on the announcements. Hope to see you then!
Unlike many years, I didn’t have a Halloween costume picked out ahead of time. So I just grabbed a red pumpkin head out of storage (in a museum exhibit) and put it on. I still kept my “C” logo on, since the Indians are currently in the World Series. Go Tribe!
I also put my jack-o’-lantern face on my custom-design sign.
We then had a net fight at the plaza.
I took a few hits, but the joke was on them. With my pumpkin head on, I couldn’t feel a thing!
At one point, Beth told me my custom-design sign scared her. And later on, my face scared Squishy!
A bit later, Squishy fell into the pitfall behind my gravestone face-cutout standee. But unfortunately, I wasn’t around to see it. I always seem to miss these things. 😛
We then went inside for a couple of island tours. We started out with a bug hide-and-seek tour, where we had to catch bugs that aren’t easy to spot. That includes walking sticks, centipedes, and pill bugs. We earned a gold Tortimer award and 15 medals (not including the bonus medals). And to my surprise, I caught the most bugs.
We then went on a balloon-popping tour–the official (regular/medium difficulty) one. I was thinking it didn’t have pitfalls, but it did. It did.
We earned a gold Tortimer award and 8 medals. Beth popped the most balloons, and I popped the least. Too bad it doesn’t rank us by how many pitfalls we fell in. 😉
Yesterday, Big Top wanted to trade his pink tartan shirt for my silver nugget! Ha! That’s a really bad trade offer.
But the trade he proposed was not fair. He wanted to trade his painting set for my sabertooth torso fossil. No deal!
I visited Camofrog tonight, and I didn’t see him at first. And not just because my eyes were closed. He was really camouflaged in his house!
