Snowy Friday Night Forest

Yesterday, Agent S asked me for a peach. 20151210_HNI_0075I gave her a perfect one, and she seemed surprised that I found it up a tree. Anyway, she gave me some plate armor as my reward.

A big snowstorm covered the ground with snow today. It will stay that way until February 25th. Even though I’m not a big fan of winter in real life, it is a bit exciting when the world of Animal Crossing gets a frosty white coating. I wasted no time–I found two snowballs and rolled them together to make a snowmam. She was perfect!

In terms of making money quickly, a perfect snowmam is the best snowperson you can build. Three snowflakes can be exchanged for ice furniture, which sells for 8,888 bells apiece.

When I updated my dream town (dream address 4300-2003-9889), Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Milky from Brinsoke.

At 10:05 tonight (I was a few minutes late), I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. BranDex and Squishy came over to visit. We made our way over to the snowmam; Squishy said the snowmam’s eyes looked like paw prints. But I was just thinking about how short my friends are.

Pashmina revealed her secret to conversation (or Nintendo’s secret of villager dialoague): Just talk about the weather!

20151211_HNI_0006We all went down to the beach, and I was trying to tell Daisy to join us–or at least take the time to look at us all. I wanted her to unleash her potential. But she just kept wandering around aimlessly like a lost dog.

20151211_HNI_0009We started talking about future Animal Crossing games, and Squishy joked that the next one would be a golf game. I actually had the same thought when I saw one of the loading screens in Happy Home Designer–it shows Tom Nook swinging a golf club! Let’s hope they stop goofing around with spin-offs and announce the next real Animal Crossing game.

I bought myself a coffee and sat on the metal bench for a while; that metal bench sure is cold in winter! But this is the one time of year that my illuminated tree doesn’t look out-of-season. Tis the season to be illuminated.

20151211_HNI_0011I got my beans out and made soup started throwing them in everyone’s eyes. Squishy, now wearing a Santa suit, told me I was on the naughty list.

20151211_HNI_0027But I couldn’t resist the opportunity to get a rare picture of Big Top’s eyes. Doesn’t his visor protect his eyes, though?

20151211_HNI_0021On the bridge, we completed a snowflake Triforce.

20151211_HNI_0028Around 11:15, I ended the session for the night. Thanks for coming, BranDex and Squishy! And thank you all for visiting the blog. I hope you have a great weekend!

Back to Night Owl

A message posted on the bulletin board today informed me that a large snow storm is expected for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it!

20151209_HNI_0051Pashmina told me she was going to move out of town on December 13th so that she could play some turf wars in another game town. I told her she’s stuck here.

20151209_HNI_0053Forest’s other goat was being more agreeable. Velma was sitting on the town bench, enjoying the nice day. She asked me to join her, so I did. For a few seconds, at least.

20151209_HNI_0054When I went to visit Rolf, I was surprised to see Dizzy was also hanging out with the white tiger. Even though it’s a sunny day, it’s still a bit cold out–so hanging out indoors isn’t a bad idea.

That's not why I'm here.
That’s not why I’m here.

Down by my zen garden, I placed down a black rose. The reason that’s significant? I have now completed a full circle around town with my gold and black roses. All my paths are now lined with them! I’ll still need to turn the black roses into gold ones, but I should now have all the flowers I need!

20151209_HNI_0059Toy Day is coming up later this month, and a couple of my villagers have started to tell me what gifts they would like. Daisy wants something red, and Velma wants something green.

20151209_HNI_0060When I was done with my tasks around town, I headed over to town hall to do some work as mayor for a change. With the impending snow storm and my completion of the rose-lined paths, now is the perfect time to switch back to the night owl ordinance. I shouldn’t have to do much flower-watering with the coming snow–and when it doesn’t snow, that will allow my black flowers to wilt. Then I can water them with the gold can to turn them gold. The new ordinance will also be helpful with Friday Night Forest coming up in two days.

20151209_HNI_0063And while I was there, I pretended that I wanmapted to tear down a public works project. That way, I could easily take an updated screenshot of my map for my town page.

I’ll be back with another entry late on Friday Night. If you haven’t yet seen my post about the Animal Crossing 2016 wall calendar, please give it a look. See you next time!

Getting Ready for Winter

Late on Saturday night, I spotted some snow flurries in town. Winter is coming!20151206_HNI_0004Yesterday, Rolf told me he wanted to move out of town on December 11th. (Not a chance, bud). And Curlos the sheep was camping at the campsite, insisting that he’s not anyone suspicious.

20151206_HNI_0012The mere fact that you’re telling me you’re not suspicious makes you suspicious!

After making a delivery to Daisy today, she gave me her picture as a reward. She even called it a “good find.” As if she found her own picture at the flea market and thought “Wow, that dog is gorgeous!

20151207_HNI_0021I decided to start getting ready for winter by changing the look of my main room. I got my ice furniture out of storage and set it up. Now I won’t have to hear any complaints about Halloween being way over.

20151207_HNI_002220151207_HNI_0023And even though snow isn’t covering the ground yet–at least for a few more days–I’ve decided to go on and place down my frosty brick ice path. If you visit, be careful not to slip!
