On Tuesday, I finally had a camper (now that I’m able to invite campers to move in). However, it was Clyde the horse. He’s not my mane man or anything, so I had to say neigh nay.

Daisy told me that she had a dream about a mantis. Sounds more like a nightmare! I hope you said your prayers before going to bed! 😛

Daisy wasn’t the only one with an eye on the bugs in my pockets. Today, Aurora told me she was painting a picture of a common butterfly…but she didn’t know what one looked like! But they’re all over town!

This evening, I came out of the museum (after having Blathers identify some fossils) and I was surprised by how red the sky was!

My bank account balance reached 67 million bells today…and that was before I went out to the island tonight and caught another 140,000 bells worth of bugs. As for the bugs I catch that aren’t worth very much, they  go to Leila.

When I visited Peck, he swore that he wasn’t hiding anything…as he was hiding his face (and his whole body really) behind some furniture!

Dizzy has not changed his mind about moving, so he should be all packed up tomorrow. I’m planning on letting Beth adopt him, and Elliott will be the alternate if Beth can’t get him for any reason. So I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow–see you then!

Today, Dizzy told me that he was going to move out of town on April 15th. Probably for tax purposes.

Believe it or not, I’m actually letting him go. I like Dizzy, but he’s not someone I intended to keep forever. And he’s been here for a while, moving in on January 15th of last year. So it may be time for him to pack his trunk. However, I’m not going to avoid him if he pings me. If he changes his mind and decides to stay, I’m completely fine with that.

Over by the river, I caught a really big common butterfly!

Nah, that was just Saharah the carpet-selling camel. I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting, and she decided on this classic carpet and exotic wall.

I found a lost item (a book) on the ramp going down to the beach, so I started asking my villagers about it. After a few minutes, I reunited the book with its owner, Agent S. But I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me: I was seeing two nets and I felt a bit Dizzy.

She gave me a kiddie couch to thank me for returning the book.

I made a trip out to the island for some bug-catching. I also caught a few sharks too, but I tend to focus on the bugs while I’m out there. Once I was done, I returned to Forest. Apparently, I didn’t catch enough to trigger Pascal, but I did hit a beastly milestone after selling my catches: I’m two-thirds of the way to the gold bell-saver badge.

My recent dream visitors have been Paige from Acrewood, Dakota B from La Luna, and Lokki from Akirai. Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you next time!

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my town gate for Friday Night Forest. Beth came over to visit, followed by Squishy a few minutes later.

At one point, I was away for a minute or two. When I came back, I found myself surround by holes.

Meli then arrived and joined in, so we had a full house. We hung out by the central park, where Squishy had a magic glow wand that slightly increased her height. And that’s no tall tale!

Once she shrunk back down to normal size, I was able to put my net through her face! Don’t worry, it was net painful.

After hanging out for a while, we went out to the island. We caught some fish and bugs for a bit, but then we tried some tours.

The tour selection wasn’t very good, but we did some bug-catching, fish-catching, and item-matching…and we didn’t do very well at any of them. Maybe we got silver once, but the other times we got bronze or worse. Even when we did an “easy” tour, haha!

But the item-matching tour was our worst showing: We failed it spectacularly. 😀

We were tired of being robbed by Tortimer, so we went back to Forest. After selling my island catches at Re-Tail, I placed some dead end signs down. And then we started watering them. Uh, to keep them from coming to life, I suppose. But Meli tempted fate by dancing on the dead end signs!

Fortunately, she survived. I added another tile for her to water too.

Meli and Beth eventually wandered off…leaving the dead end with two dead ends of its own.

We ended up back by the metal bench, where Molly asked me for some fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she had this expression on her face:

I left that text box there for a minute or so. Apparently, everyone could see Molly’s expression (and they were amused by it), but they couldn’t see the peach I gave her.

We started pulling out all of our accessories. Beans, bubbles, hammers, coffee, and more.

I even made use of my megaphone.

I also got my slingshot out in case any UFOs flew by. (They didn’t).

We were enjoying the sights of the falling cherry blossoms with my illuminated tree in the background.

Shortly before midnight, we got abruptly disconnected. Since it was so late, I didn’t reopen my gate. But thank for you coming Beth, Squishy, and Meli! It was fun!

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Angel from Dreamers. Have a good weekend, everyone!
