Since we're stuck with Stormie's Farm, the pointless neighbor that was forced on us, why not make him at least useful? I suggest that Stormie display the new trees, flowers (would say crops, but new crops are a distant memory) and items for any particular week's update. That way we know what they're going to look like when placed on our "farms". After each week's update comes out, remove the previous week's and add the current week's. Would also be a good place to showcase all the chest items, so people can see what they might get. Of course Stormie will need to level up for a larger farm to fit all the items.
I saw a glimpse of a pond that was available in a popup, but can't find it in the store, so assuming you have to purchase a gem package to get it. If that's the case, you won't be seeing it on my farm, but it would be nice to see what I will never have. Why doesn't Stormie display it?
UPDATE: Never mind on the "pond". It's a Meerkat Mansion. I have a FARM, not an African savanna. :-/
