Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 46

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Sunday is Turnip day and I just… I still wish Isabelle would announce special visitors. It’s really weird she doesn’t. Anyway, I had a bit of mail– mostly stuff I ordered, but I managed to get a new DAL item: DAL cap and of course, the letter I was waiting for:

I’m pretty sure that’s the last prize? But also paranoid so maybe I’ll wait another week to be sure. I’ll fully work on my house soon… Hopefully. I still need to figure out a good idea for the basement room anyway (along with if maybe I want to move it to a different room and other issues…).

Marina’s poster also arrived today after I finally invited her to Harvey’s island yesterday so I could order it.

It’s honestly kind of killing me that I haven’t been able to scan in all my Amiibo yet :( But at least I only have three dream villagers to go…

I also set up my Simple Panels a bit– I’m not sure if I’m going to keep a switching pattern or end up doing it just one way or the other, but at the very least, I think I’m going to make them all White Simple Panels.

Either way, it was then time for our fossil search and beach combing. Meanwhile, our glowy spot decided to invade our RESERVED FOR STONEHENGE space.

Further to my surprise after running back to store some things I realized I forgot to, I ran right into Daisy Mae. She is always so much easier to find when I’m not planning to buy any turnips (and even if I was, probably not at 103 each).

It was then finally time to get back to my Fossil-Beach mission and my DIY Recipe in a Bottle this time was Scattered Papers from Graham.

Leif was also here again today, likely due to my Nature Day Nook Miles+ goal being to plant some Mums, which aren’t usually sold here.

I adore Leif as a character, but he’s the recurring character I really need to see the least right now as unless he starts selling hybrid pink flowers, there isn’t anything I need from him.

Meanwhile, with the Simple Panels in, I did my best to set them up:

I ordered gold ones today so I’ll check tomorrow if those look better than Silver, but it does look kind of nice.

While continuing my fossil search, I ended up finding a lost item which belonged to Cookie.

This at least felt like a believable area to find it. I feel like I only see villagers in the “Village” area and plaza and that makes me kind of sad. They just never seem to move around much. Maybe once I get more flowers in? :(

On the bright side, one of my fossils today was an Amber. I’m generally not big on the “put a bunch of the fossils you’ll see in the museum outside the museum” thing, but I really like rocks so I couldn’t help but make an exception to put this in my little… Grove thing.

Meanwhile, Judy scared me when she accused me of eating her Panna cotta… but she was just kidding in an effort to show me the Intense reaction. This is my first new reaction from her, but I really need to stop getting new reactions behind this Waterfall.

And I don’t know, she looks more downtrodden and melancholy if anything.

While Redd continues to allude me, a friend did get him and honestly, even if I don’t buy anything or need what’s available, I really just love trying to figure out which is fake and which is real. There was a fake painting I liked though so maybe I’ll have that for my house…

I also continued my beetle practicing and for the most part, it was going well…



There were even shooting stars.

But then we were struck with a sudden disconnect :( The Horned Elephant was saved as I had stopped back to sell some things, but anything I earned during my first return trip was just completely gone– it was as if I was never there despite them not disconnecting. Super weird.

I did manage to get the Golden Stag and Giant Stag again, but I still need to re-catch/find the Horned Hercules. I did my best to make up on star wishes too and at the very least, I did end up catching one other surprise:

And it is SO SHINY in this game.

Meanwhile, back in town, the on and off rain continued. I also decided to move the cedar tree over here to open it up and I do think it looks nice– maybe I will keep the silver borders.

Eventually, it turned into a full Thunderstorm– my very first no less!

It’s honestly kind of insane, but maybe I should’ve expected as much with the crazy wind this morning.

As things eased down (as much as they can when your town is storming), I stopped by a town to visit Celeste. Unfortunately, I got a Mums Wand :(

Regardless, the night ended on a high note with some new art for the museum and new recipes from a friend!: Cardboard sofa, Cherry Wall, Apple Rug, Key Holder, and Bone Doorplate! I also genuinely can’t wait to see the museum fully fleshed out. It’s really looking great.
