Weather Seeds show the exact times for shooting stars, as well as rain, and other weather conditions. We use it mostly for shooting stars, likewise if we know there will be shooting stars we can look for Celeste to get star related diys. Celeste is not there every time there are shooting stars. Knowing when it will be raining helps with getting bugs and the rain fish.

At one time we only used time travel for short periods, now we leave the Switch stay there for weeks at a time. We keep the same day of the week, and time of day, just a different starting date.

Interesting, we just got Avery, our 10th villager today. I restart my Southern Hemisphere island often, I really like the first couple days on a new island. The last 3 islands we Timed Travelled to the first week of January to start, it is a great time for a Southern Hemisphere island, great fishing and lots of bugs.

ACNH is the only game we play, so setting the clock to January does not create any problems. We may time travel within the same day to meet our schedule but do not do any serious time travel until we get the beautify ordinance. We found that most times our Southern Hemisphere island will get shooting stars in early January, so at night I may use a cheap, less than $10 HDMI video capture card and record several hours of the night sky to watch later and get the weather seed as soon as posssible after an island restart. Tomorrow the Beautify Ordinance goes in effect and we will work on the fish and bugs first to fill the museum. We don't always finish the museum, some times it may need 1 or two fossils or a statue we can not get.

About 2 years ago my wife was able to get blue roses in about 60 days, it was Northern Hemisphere during the snow season. We tried using the same method at the same time in the Southern Hemisphere (summer) but did not do as good and finally gave up. She was extra careful to make sure she did not mix flowers, kept them well isolated. She did not allow them together until step 4, then she kept all the step 4 hybrid red roses together. It took up a lot of room isolating each pair to make sure they did not cross bred with the wrong flower. Each step she planted a new seed flower. We had flowers everywhere, every time we got a hybrid we moved it to a different spot and planted a seed flower next to it. If the pair produced anything other than the desired hybrid flower, it was trashed so not to get them mixed.

I pretty sure this is the method she used:

Step 1 : Seed White + Seed White = Purple

Step 2 : Purple from Step 1 + Seed Red = Pink

Step 3 : Pink from previous step + Seed Yellow = Hybrid Red

Step 4 : Hybrid Red from previous step + Hybrid Red from previous step = blue

Sorry, I should have said my wife and I play every day, we have our own islands. This community is not very active, do not know how many still play. I prefer Lemmy World but Reddit is better for active ACNH players.

Very good, we play every day.

Do you play ACNH?

Thanks for the comment, the trees gave me more trouble than the sky, trees and flowers always make me struggle

 

Box also has Hasbro logo. I do not remember doing this before, but it was in the back of the shelf where I usually keep completed puzzles.

Very nice, thanks for sharing

 

This is a favorite of mine, a bit easier than most 1000 piece puzzles and can withstand handling without falling apart.

 

This was a Christmas gift, 2021 and I do it about 1 time a year.

 

Once started, I had a hard time walking away from this puzzle

 

99 cents (US) at a nearby thrift shop, box was open but fortunately all the pieces were still there.

Nice, it looks challenging, especially with the missing pieces

 

This appears to be a startup company with only 1 jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle quality is very good, with nice, thick, tight fitting pieces, almost no dust or glare. I am sure the $6 price range will change or the seller will go out of business.

I could pick this puzzle up and hold it at arms length when is was finished.

It was marked in the back if you wanted to sort it to 6 smaller puzzles

It did take a little effort to get started but after a few sections were completed it got much easier. Needless to say I recommend buying this puzzle on Amazon (US) while it can still be purchased at a good price, the last I looked it was still less than $7

I like the puzzle : we often buy puzzles by Sure-Lox , not because it is good quality puzzle, but usually cheaper than most.

Nice, I like the unusual shaped pieces

 

Charles Wysocki : Large Pieces : Buffalo Games

May be a little too easy for some, but great for new people or those with limited dexterity and or eye sight

 

This was not an easy puzzle, it took much longer than usual. Springbok uses unusual shapes and needs a little extra effort to push some of the pieces together, but is not a fragile puzzle once together.

 

No name on the box, but I found the same puzzle on Ebay with an address that led to Edaron:

Edaron, Inc. was founded in 1974. The Company's line of business includes the manufacturing of Puzzles and Games for adults and children.

In 2020 Edaron partnered with Buffalo games and became Edaron LLC.

Edaron LLC. operates in the United States.

 

This is from our personal collection, do it about one time a year. The trees and snow are more challenging than I prefer but overall a good puzzle.
