On June 9th, Mira asked me to catch a rainbow stag for her. I thought my chances would be better out on the island, so I took Kapp’n’s boat ride across the sea. While I was there, I remembered I could do something I can’t normally do in New Horizons: Fish from the north shore.

In New Horizons, you need to use fish bait to make fish spawn up there on your island.

Anyway, it took me longer than I expected, but I caught a rainbow stag for Mira. When I took it back to her, she rewarded me with a Tower of Pisa.

On Saturday (June 15th), I was visiting Cube when he told me not to look in his mush dresser. So of course, I did look in his mush dresser. There was a robo-closet inside of it (somehow), and Cube let me keep it.

The Bug-Off competition was underway, so I grabbed a goliath beetle from my dock box. Nat gave it a nice, round 100-point score.

That took over the top spot, and Nat gave me a snail clock as my reward. I later put it in my house. After the competition ended, I returned to Nat’s tent for the winners’ ceremony. I won 1st place, while Lolly finished in 2nd place, and Aurora was 3rd. 🙂 Here we are holding our trophies:

Yesterday, Jeremiah said he could smell my Tower of Pisa. I didn’t know it had a scent, unless it was really a tower of pizza? Now that, I’d like to smell. But Jeremiah wanted me to trade it for his makeup case.

I agreed to the trade, just to be nice. 😛

I found three dig spots right next to each other, and they were all fossils! Usually when this happens, one of them is a gyroid or pitfall, but all three were fossils this time.

Mira asked to visit my house (yes, again), and I agreed to it (again). Up in my swampy room with all the frogs, Mira said my house smells just like me! Somehow, I don’t think that’s a compliment. 😆

I showed her every room, and she left once we got to the last room (the basement). Today, she sent me a letter thanking me for having her over. She included a kiddie bed, which she encouraged me to use in my house.

It was raining pretty heavily today, and Aurora (for one) seemed to be enjoying it.

The sky was dark…really dark. Believe it or not, this picture was taken at 10:30 a.m.!

I still haven’t made progress on getting any of the other villager pics I’ve been trying for lately. But I’m not giving up! One of these days I’ll have something to report. I hope. 😆

One last note for today: I’ve had several campers over the past week or so. That included Ed last Monday, Marcie on Tuesday, and Broccolo yesterday.

On Monday, Mira asked to visit my house, and I let her come over. So she followed me home.

She complimented my exotic bed, while also giving me a backhanded compliment. She said I have good taste, even though I don’t look like I do. 😑

She later called me a rich show-off. These visits sure seem to bring out the rudeness in villagers, don’t they?

Inkwell asked me to fetch Jeremiah for him, and it was all just so that Inkwell could return an item (a racer tee) to him. Why couldn’t he just have me deliver it?

Inkwell gave me a western fence for helping out.

On Tuesday, Gulliver was in town (down on the beach). He told me he wanted to visit a country that’s very long and shaped like a boot. I knew he was talking about Italy, and he later sent me a Mouth of Truth in the mail.

Yesterday, Renee the rhino was camping at the campsite. I stopped in to say hello, and that’s about it. 😛

Today, I had another camper: Drift the frog. He’s not a bad villager, but I do have him in Wild World at the moment. (And of course, my town here is still full.)

Mira spotted my Mouth of Truth in my pockets, and she wanted me to trade it for a club tee. I agreed to the trade, even though I already had a club tee (and I was wearing it at the time)! But it seemed to make her happy, at least.

When I visited Inkwell, he wanted to buy that extra club tee for 90 bells. I had no need for it, so I sold it to him. But when he turned around, I realized that the back of his head resembles the squid bumpers in his house! I’m not sure if those are gills or what, but Inkwell and the bumpers both have them.

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll see you all in June! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On May 1st, Muffy the black sheep was camping out at the campsite. So I stopped in to say hello.

The next day was May 2nd, and that was my town anniversary! It’s been 11 years since I became the mayor of Forest, so Isabelle dragged me off to a special ceremony. Interestingly, the attendees were asymmetrical; nobody else stood on the right side with Molly!

I said a few words, we shot off some party poppers, and we had a good time (I suppose). 😛

If you’d like to revisit that day, you can see my blog entry…or the video, which I almost forgot existed. 😛

A bit later, I shot down a balloon present that contained some roasted dino meat. Wow, how long has that been floating around up there? 😆

On May 6th, Mira asked me for some new furniture that would surprise Rolf and anyone else who drops by her place. So I gave the roasted dino meat to her. That will surely give Rolf a surprise! He’ll probably want to dig right in!

Speaking of digging, Boots asked me to dig up his time capsule today. I did, and he found a sweat-soaked red-check tee inside. Why is it still sweat-soaked after several weeks in the ground?

Of course, that sopping wet shirt was my reward for burying and digging up the time capsule. Oh joy.

Saharah was in town, and I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting…after we ran back to my house, of course.

She installed this music-room wall and parquet floor.

Aurora asked me for some fruit tonight, so I gave her a coconut that I already had in my pockets. But to my surprise, she turned it down. She said she can’t eat a coconut!

But the most shocking part was that this ended the request! I was going to give her some bananas that I also had in my pockets, but she no longer had an option to give her fruit! Oof. I don’t know why she couldn’t accept an alternate fruit! That’s kind of annoying.

I recently posted my annual slideshow of best New Leaf screenshots. Check it out if you’d like; it’s the 11th Year in Pictures.

Have a good day, everyone. I’ll see you next time!
