Autumn Moon 2016

Today is the day (well, night) of the autumn moon (known as the harvest moon outside of the Animal Crossing universe). Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out wheat bundles for the occasion.

Isabelle: To celebrate Autumn Moon tonight, I prepared wheat bundles for everyone. Would you like one?There is also a face-cutout standee at the plaza. You can turn yourself into a scarecrow by sticking your (straw-filled) head through the hole.

The scarecrow face-cutout standee for the autumn moon (harvest moon) celebration.I had a lot of mail in my mailbox today. Gulliver sent me a Big Ben from England, Katie sent me a digital-photo frame, and Daisy finally thanked me for the medicine I gave her earlier this week by sending me a black flannel shirt. I also got a letter from Mom that included a mountain standee.

Later in the evening, Daisy told me that the moon shines as brightly as a sheaf of wheat. I didn’t even realize that wheat shines, so that was quite an illuminating conversation. I still had my doubts about it, but maybe there’s a grain of truth to it.

Daisy: In fact, the moon shines as bright as a sheaf of wheat.Beth invited me over to her town Acorn briefly. While America gets wheat bundles for the autumn moon, Europe and Australia get veggie baskets instead. I had completely forgotten that we get different items for the event. Thanks, Beth!

Isabelle: To celebrate Autumn Moon, I've made veggie baskets for everyone! Would you like one?I also let her visit Forest so that she could pick up a wheat bundle. She wanted to look at the autumn moon, but it wasn’t out yet! I guess it appears later on (it was only 7:15 p.m. in Forest at the time).

After I ended the session, I put both items in my house to take a good look at them. Europeans definitely get the better item; the veggie basket looks great!

Ungrateful Daisy

It was raining in town last night, and Pashmina said we were both going to be all wet. I thought she meant from the rain, until she said she just peed! 😮

Pashmina: Ha ha! Hey, li'l guy! Looks like we're both gonna be all wet today! I peed!

A message on the bulletin board today reminded me that the autumn moon (harvest moon) is tomorrow.

~ Tomorrow's Weather ~ The forecast for our town tomorrow is sunny all day. The autmn moon should appear bright in the night sky, so keep your eyes up!Katie the annoying kitten was stinking up Forest, so I asked Beth to open up the town of Arrested. I hope Katie gets arrested and never comes back.

Katie: OK, I'm gonna go see what Arrested is all about!Back in Forest, I saw that Daisy wasn’t home. That meant she was over her sickness! I had some trouble tracking her down, but I eventually found her in the bug room in the museum. She didn’t thank me for taking her medicine, though. She only commented on how proud she is of our museum. Actually I’m the one who filled up the museum too, and she didn’t thank me for that either.

Daisy: I'm so proud of our museum for having every single insect in this area! It's pretty amazing.
Uh, you’re welcome. :/

Gulliver was down on the beach, about to take a trip to England to see Big Ben. Have a nice trip!

Gulliver: Hmmm... What was that country called?! I feel like it's right on the tippy-tip of my beaky beak!

Carson from Iqaluit was my most recent dream visitor. I’ll probably be back with another entry tomorrow for the autumn moon. See you then!

Isabelle to Pull Weeds

Yesterday, the official UK Animal Crossing Twitter account posted a bit of news about the upcoming New Leaf update. Once the update arrives, Isabelle will pull all of your town’s weeds! For people that have been reluctant to get back into New Leaf because of the weeds in their town, this will be very helpful!

Sounds like a great idea! For those of you who haven’t played in a while, will this encourage you to get back into playing again?

As for Forest, not a whole lot has been going on lately. Rolf wanted to move out on September 18th, but I made him change his mind in a hurry.

Rolf: I've already picked a day too. I'll be leaving on the 18th of this very month!I sniffed out a new camper at the campsite: Truffles the pig was in town. I don’t have room in my town for another villager, but even if I did, she’s snout somebody I’d be interested in.

Truffles: Heya! Look, I know it's kinda sudden, but I've decided to set up camp here.Daisy has been sick for the past couple days, so I’ve taken medicine to her twice now. Get well soon, Daisy!

Daisy flips as she takes medicine.

My recent dream visitors have been Yuki from Calpico, Mayounna from Amy Rose, and Finnius from Aquarius. Thanks for stopping by!
