On February 6th, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground. I returned it to Boots, and he said it was a bag of sand!<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
He said it felt lighter than it was before, so he wonders if someone grabbed a handful of sand and ran off! Why would anyone do that? We have a whole beach full of sand in walking distance from anywhere in town.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
But he still thanked me for returning the bag, and he rewarded me with a lotus tee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the mail, I found a letter from Nintendo with a Flower Fairy dress attached. It was a reward for playing Animal Crossing Puzzle League last month. I must’ve met some goal or other criteria without realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Friday (February 14th), Jeremiah told me that he was going to leave town on the 16th! I made him change his mind, but that was another close call!<\/p>\n\n\n
\nNot this time, you’re not.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Since it was Valentine’s Day, I went to the Roost to get a special cup of hot chocolate from Brewster. Such a sweet treat!<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
I also had some Valentine’s Day letters in the mail. Isabelle sent me a chocolate cake, Lolly sent me a chocolate heart, and Mom sent me a comfy sweater. Of those three, the sweater tasted the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday (Tuesday), I found a lost glove on the ground near my eastern ramp. I later returned it to its owner, Rolf. It’s such a big glove that I should’ve known it was his! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
He thanked me for returning it, and he rewarded me with his Mama bear.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
I later rolled up two snowballs to make my first Snowmam of the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
She was perfect, so she only needed three snowflakes for an item. I had two in my pockets already, so I quickly caught a third one. She gave me an ice floor for the trio of snowflakes, and I promptly sold it at Re-Tail for 8,888 bells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hornsby surprised me by telling me he’s been looking for a sweet Mama bear. I’m almost afraid to ask what that means! \ud83d\ude09 But he offered me 400 bells for it, and I agreed to the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nDon’t worry about buying her dinner. She’s already stuffed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Today, I shot down a balloon present and found an IV drip inside! I guess my blood pressure was sky high<\/em>, but then it dropped like a rock. But I don’t need the IV drip, so I just sold it…for the cash flow. \ud83d\ude09 Sorry about the puns, but don’t worry: I don’t have any more up my sleeve<\/em>. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I saw a very large fish shadow in the river, and I fished out a stringfish! <\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
The funny thing is, Mira actually asked me for a stringfish earlier in the day, but I told her no. I thought the odds of me catching one today were slim. You don’t think Mira knew I’d catch one, do you? Maybe she saw it in her magic mirror! “Mira, Mira, on the wall…<\/em>” \ud83d\ude06 But it’s okay, I’d rather sell it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I listened in on a conversation between Jeremiah and Hornsby, and they were talking about food. (It seems that Inkwell was also listening in.) \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Hornsby said that skyscraper windows are made of jelly, and Jeremiah knew it was true because he heard it on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
They also said that horchata runs through city pipes, and streetlights are made of lemon drops.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
I don’t know what TV show they were watching, but I’m pretty sure they were sugar-coating the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I caught a few more snowflakes tonight, and I exchanged three of them for an ice dresser. But fortunately, winter is finally winding down! The snow will be gone by next Tuesday, and I’ll be back at some point next week with another entry. Hope to see you then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
