Spring Day 1

I woke up the next morning to a package from Mayor Lewis containing some parsnip seeds.

Something to get started with. Hopefully they are easy to grow. I haven’t touched dirt since I was a little kid.

Hoeing is not as easy as it looks! It took me a good hour to clear some land and till my first plot of soil. I was already wiped out when I finished. The farm is particularly woody and it will take me some time to clear it properly.

After spending time on the farm and planting my first crop, I headed into Pelican Town to meet everyone. The town is so nice and quiet. So different from the big city! As I walked in I decided to step into the General Store. Pierre the shop owner welcomed me and showed me his stock of seeds. He kindly demonstrated some planting methods and how to start a bean trellis. I like green beans so I decided to buy some seeds to start. I met some of the townsfolk here. Pierre’s daughter Abigail gave me a sideways glare when I mentioned I was clearing the farm.

Well if you want to explore something there are plenty of trees around here!

Much to my surprise there is a Joja Mart branch here. It looks so ugly and tacky here. I used to be so comfortable shopping at Joja stores since they are everywhere in the city. But here it looks horribly out of place.

I headed up towards the slope in Pelican Town. There I found Robin’s house. She and her husband Demetrius proudly showed off their house to me. It was made by Robin all by herself! She showed me how to craft some storage chests and told me to come by when I needed help with anything. Her daughter Maru showed me her new telescope. She definitely takes after her father.

I explored around a bit until it got dark. I still haven’t met everyone yet, but that’s my goal for tomorrow.
