I don't really need the artwork or have any trades to make with it. Do what you want with it. You could always post it here in case some forum user wants to claim a piece but for some reason, people here don't seem to be playing this game much anymore. Maybe we need to wait another year so they can get through some of their backlog and start playing.
As for grass, it is even more frustrating with all the days of rain I went through that it isn't growing back and is still fading. Still, I should probably start laying out paths as that is supposed to help.
The House Centipede is an evening creature so keep that in mind if you are looking for it.
Go, Dan, Go. Get those badges. What helped me was that I included a list of the requirements for every badge, bronze, silver and gold in a spreadsheet along with all the catalogue items I was looking for. However, I got smarter with it and started keeping better track of things to know where I was at. For instance, I didn't know how many times I had visitors to my town to know when I'd get the bronze badge but once Phineas gave it to me, I knew that meant I had met the 50 visitor requirement. So, I entered that number on the spreadsheet and then everytime I've had a visit to my town, I've updated that total. This way I know how I'm coming along on every badge and how much I still have to do and where I am at for progress.
The only badges I am unsure of is the Traveller badge, Fishing badge and Bug Catching badge. Once I get the bronze traveller badge, I know I'll have met the 100 trip requirement and can go from there. However, I already have the bronze badges for fishing and bug catching and the silver badge requirement is having caught 2000 of each. I have no idea where I'm at with those ones. Oh well. Whenever I do get the silver, I'll at least have a better idea of the range I'm on as I progress to gold.
