What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Today - well yesterday - I terraformed again after I finally managed to remove almost every flower of my enormous flower field that was a mistake. 3 shovels later, I only kept two of each flower if I ever decide to grow some more, especially the rares ones. That thing was out of control lmao, never do a flower field if you're not sure you can keep it in place !
Now, I'm going to make a *flower line* with one of each flower in everycolor, don't know where yet but I better plan it this time.
 
Technically some of these were yesterday as I am late to write this...
* Welcomed Audie to Utopia
* Caught my first bluegill, pale chub, popeyed goldfish, and ranchu goldfish (since resetting) and donated them to the museum
* Unlocked Customization
* Helped Gullivarrr
* Built a perfect snowman
 
Did these yesterday
Time travel a lot to grow some bamboo.
Moved some houses around
Got Aurora adopted and found Keaton on an island. I'm determined to get all the eagle photos now and I think I'm just missing Avery's.
Laid down paths for the Asian theme neighborhood
 
I don’t know if this is an accomplishment but I went on my mystery island tour this morning and found Lily! She’ll be coming to my island ❤️
 
Made some pretty big changes today/yesterday. I first moved Sherb's house to the opposite side of the island to give both him an Ruby more of a yard, Then I repathed the whole island from the stone patch to the arched tile path. Then I moved Ruby's house a little bit more to the right and made a stage with instruments next to her house. I also built an outdoor gym for Genji (and Rory when I get him back). I also finally removed all my holly bushes and put in pink camilla bushes, ad did some light festivale decorating.
 
I'm in the process of turning one huge field of pink and white mums into a smaller half-field of pink and red mums - the color contrast is a lot more impressive to my mind. I put a street down the middle of the field that leads directly to my campsite, which I should probably look at renovating in the near future.

I did a lot of stuff yesterday and finally got myself a 5-star rating! Built a cafe area near the beach on the left hand side of my island (the devs need to increase the amount of food furniture!), built a conservatory/greenhouse area near the bottom right hand corner of my map (although sadly I don't have many impressive plants to stock it with yet), and put down fences in a lot of different places.

planning on putting one character house and two villager houses in that area so i have to figure out where i should put those and also how i'm gonna terraform the surrounding area, feel like that's gonna be harder to do than the sunken waterfall itself lol but we'll cross the bridge when we get there. also i actually already changed the chair and table there to a log round table with three mush stools since as i said that area is dedicated for one character and two villagers...

I managed to get 3 wasps for Flick - I am awful at catching them and they always sting me. I somehow managed to catch all 3 to make a model while only getting stung once.

I have been trying to make paths that I can run through without flowers to at least every major place on my island I visit regularly. I still have work to do (removing trees/ furniture so they are no longer in my way), but at least now I've removed all the flowers. On the other hand, it is snowing on my island so it remains to be seen how many flowers will grow back tomorrow...
 
changed a lot of my qr codes today, i have finally succumbed to the "the path" trend and is now using a cobblestone variation of the path and from now on is going to be more simple in placing qr codes instead of putting qr codes in every block... i honestly think it's a really great idea to do so, i think i like the path better than the stepping stone path i have before, i now understand the hype on the path, also being more simple in qr placement is also a really great change
 
- finally got around to forming a coherent decoration plan with all the festivale stuff (up until now it was all just kind of.. dumped in one area)
