Halloween Lantern Festival Quest and Bat Plushie Collection Mission

Note from Freyashawk:

I wish to thank every farmer for every single vote given to my farm.  I actually ended in the top 10 although my farm dropped from No. 7 to No. 9 in the last voting period.  Achieving the top rank has different rules from the rules for obtaining 6000 votes and the Rewards in that list.  What us required is the new maximum total of votes DAILY as well as insanely high Landscape Points.  My farm still maintains all the requirements for Crops, Trees. Animals, Machines, Pets with Accessories and Level as well as Landscape Points.  I fail to comprehend how farms with no Crops, Trees, Animals or Machines can rank higher than those who meet the requirements.  Still, I consider finally being in the top 10 again a victory, not for myself but every singIe farmer who sent even one vote to me when it was needed.  My heartfelt gratitude.

I am dedicating this post to my loyal, loving cat Pumpkin who, after 19 years, died on Wednesday morning.  May he rest in peace and may we meet again one day in a better place.

Pumpkin was born literally in my lap when his mother Beauty,  became terrified of the birth process and left the little bed I had made for her.  He died in my lap after losing the use of his back legs and gradual decline in his health.  Despite everything, he slept on my chest every night and never left me without his love and comfort.  He would have been 20 in December.

Not only dedicating this to Pumpkin but to all the animal companions who help the farmers in this game cope with physical or other pain issues, diseases that cannot be cured, grief or any other impediment to the life they once possessed.  May we give emotional support to one another, wherever we may be.  I thank you all not only for your votes but for your friendship, kind words and wishes.

Floral Arrangements

When the Floral Alchemy Activity ended, tge flower seeds obtajned through Alchemy appeared in the Floral Workshop for Flower Coins.  Not all farmers have access to all varieties at thus point and I need to research it more.  My farm found all of them in the shop after reset but some farmers only have found the variius Carnation Seeds.  Access is not limited to those who unlocked all Essences and Seeds in the Activity, however.   A friend who only had unlocked two of the Essences who still had no access to the Wintersweet, Camellia or Nandina Seeds at the end of the Activity found the Seeds in her Shop after reset.  Another friend who only had unlocked the Pink Carnation Seeds in the Activity found all three varieties of Carnation Seeds in her shop but no appearance of the three last varieties unlocked with Essences.
