Jeff's New Leaf Blog

I played on April 9th (last Thursday) to see the pink trees and falling cherry blossom petals of early April. They’re so pretty, especially in the newer games (New Leaf and New Horizons). 🌸

Yesterday, Inkwell asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave him a perfect peach, and he loved it. He rewarded me with a portable toilet.

I found a lost item (a mitten) on the ground, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Mira. She was glad to have it back, not that she needs it this time of year. To thank me, she gave me a No. 4 shirt.

Today, Hornsby asked me for some new furniture. So of course, I gave him the portable toilet from Inkwell. It’s important to reuse our waste. 😆

He gave me a bug zapper, saying he didn’t need it any more. Is that because his new toilet is going to be so toxic, it’ll kill the bugs instead? 😆

Jeremiah told me he bought a gift for Aurora, but he asked me to deliver it. Aurora was so surprised that her eyes turned red. 😆

It was a dawn tank, and she complimented the color. But her catchphrase made her sound insincere.

But she didn’t try it on, because she said she got dirty when she was playing earlier. So I guess she’s going to wait until she bathes?

She rewarded me with a bamboo shoot. I then returned to Jeremiah to tell her the news. Even though he appreciated me making the delivery, he looked hurt that she didn’t try the shirt on.

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he was talking about winning a Nobel Prize someday. That meant he was headed to Sweden, and he’ll send me a gift from there next time.

On Friday night, there was a heavy meteor shower in the skies over Forest. I wished on several shooting stars. 🌠

It was Lolly’s birthday, so I made sure to attend her birthday party. I gave her a bamboo fence that I bought at Harv’s campground. However, I don’t think she particularly liked it.

Rolf was also there to help Lolly celebrate. Happy birthday, Lolly!

Today, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail. He sent me a giant dharma.

Over by the train station, I shot down a balloon present and then snapped a photo. Based on the photo, it looked like the bulletin board bird was about to get splatted. 😛

I fell into a pitfall when Aurora was nearby, and she got all worried about me. That was cute. 😛

Over at the campsite, I found a squirrel with unusually small eyes (at least for Animal Crossing squirrels). His name was Sheldon, and I’m not very familiar with him. He seemed nice, but I did not invite him to move in.

Boots asked me to play hide-and-seek with him, and I was game. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Jeremiah, and Mira.

I quickly found Mira behind a tree near the starting point. A bit later, I found Jeremiah trying to hide behind the instrument shelter.

As I continued searching for Boots, I found a lost item (a bag) the ground. After circling around the entire town, I went down to the beach. And that’s where Boots was.

We automatically returned to the event plaza, and Boots gave me my prize for winning: A giraffe ruler.

While I had the three of them all together, I asked them about the lost item. It belonged to Mira, and she rewarded me with an imperial shirt for returning it.

On Friday, Victoria the horse was camping at the campsite. Even though I do like her, I did not ask her to move into town.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day, which the game celebrates as “Shamrock Day.” I met Isabelle at the event plaza, where she was dressed in green for the occasion.

She gave me a shamrock hat, which I put on…to go with my club tee.

I also stuck my face through the Shamrock Day face-cutout standee. I’m a leprechaun!

My villagers all commented on the hat. They liked it, but they weren’t green with envy.

And of course, they wished me a Happy Shamrock Day. ☘️

Mira asked me to catch a river fish for her, so I headed over to the river and caught the first fish I saw: a crucian carp.

I took it back to Mira, and she was happy with it. She rewarded me with a paw-print wall…to match her shirt. 😛

Over by the pyramid, I found a lost glove.

I started to ask around, and I eventually returned it to Lolly.

She thanked me by giving me a desk light.

Happy Shamrock Day, everyone! ☘️
