Burying the Pitfall

While I was checking something in my house, Kidd invited himself in. I spoke with him and he gave me a durian. After that, I just sat on the couch and waited for him to leave.

Kidd: Sorry if I surprised you today. I hope you come by and visit my place next, cowboy!I was a bit tired of dealing with pitfalls around town, so I took one and buried it on my private beach. It’s not likely to be disturbed there anytime soon, and that should keep new pitfalls from appearing.

Burying a pitfall on my private beach.I played too late in the day to go shopping at the Emporium or Able Sisters. But I stopped in the Dream Suite to update my dream town, and Luna told me Andreas from Pixel was my most recent dream visitor.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Andreas from Pixel enjoyed your dream.I also stopped in Club LOL to hear a performance from K.K. I asked him for a random song, and he played Comrade K.K. for me.

K.K.: It's Jeff! I knew this cat wouldn't miss a show.

One Year Anniversary of Forest

It was one year ago today that I moved into Forest. And I know that in City Folk, Tortimer will send you a letter and a cake on your one-year anniversary. However, as I found out today, New Leaf does no such thing. The cake is a lie!

Naturally, I was a bit disappointed. But that didn’t stop me from celebrating. To mark the occasion, I held some giveaways on the friend code exchange page. Congrats to all the winners! Here’s a picture of me delivering a blue pinwheel to Lily from Utopia:

Mei and her new balloon.Sasha from Spartan actually won two separate giveaways. One was for a three-pack of items: A yellow balloon, chocolate heart, and hair-bow wig. The other was for a bubble wand.

Visiting Sasha.And my final giveaway prize was strawberry ice cream. Maddie from Moon was the last winner of the day.

Taking some ice cream to Maddie.Congrats to all the winners!

When I went up to the Dream Suite, Luna told me that my most recent dream visitor was Natalia from Valyria.

Later on, I took a picture of my town tree. But first, here’s a look back at how it started out one year ago today. I had just moved into Forest and planted the town tree, which was still a sapling. Aurora, Yuka, Harry, Gabi, and Rory applauded the new town tree.

A look back at Forest's first day.A year later, the tree has grown quite a bit. Four of the five villagers that applauded me a year ago have long since moved out of town (only Aurora remains).

The Forest town tree after one year.Forest has changed a lot in a year. What will it look like a year from now? Stick with me to find out; I’m not going anywhere.

Have a good weekend, everyone! 🙂

Leaf Bed DLC

It’s May 1st, and a new month means new DLC. This month’s item is a leaf bed. It can be re-ordered for 4,200 bells. Don’t forget to pick yours up at the post office!

Leaf bed: 4,200 bells.It seems to defy gravity, and it uses a dew drop as a pillow…I’m not sure I’d enjoy sleeping hovering in the air with my head in a pool of liquid. But that’s just me.

Sleeping on the leaf bed.Kim contacted me today to let me know her Re-Tail was buying turnips for a whopping 388 bells each! I ran to her town and sold my 1,100 turnips for 426,800 bells! Thank you very much, Kim!

Reese: Well then...I could probably part with 426,800 bells for all of it, if that sounds OK with you?Outside of my own Re-Tail later on, I found a lost item. Shockingly, it belonged to the first animal I asked about it: Aurora. She thanked me for returning her book and she gave me her picture!

Aurora: Where did you find it?! I've been looking for this book everywhere! What a relief! This is my treasure!There was a green frog in my campsite, and thankfully it wasn’t Jambette. Instead, it was Frobert.

Frobert: I spend my time doing sit-ups, not sleeping! Fribbit!This little piggy went fishing, and this little piggy caught none. Gala asked me to catch an ocean fish for her, so I caught her a red snapper. (Oh, very tasty). She thanked me and gave me a blue clock in return.

Gala: Wow! A red snapper! Thank you for catching it for me. I knew I could count on you!I went up to the Dream Suite, and Luna told me that Hayden from Victoria was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Happy Homes Showcase, I ran into Ian again (as I often do). And once again, he had ice cream for me! Today’s flavor was strawberry.

Ian and the strawberry ice cream he gave me.As I returned to town, Nan pinged me. She told me she was going to move out on May 5th! I told her it was a good idea to leave…but then she seemed to change her mind. Bummer.

Nan: Maybe I should reconsider this, villain.I finished up my night by giving away my previous (vanilla) ice cream cone. So I went to Pakuyumi’s town Basket to drop it off.

Pakuyumi: Thank you haha.Tomorrow will be my town‘s one-year anniversary! I know City Folk would recognize when your town was one year old, so I’ll find out tomorrow if New Leaf does the same.

And just as a reminder, I will not be opening my New Leaf gate tomorrow night (since it’s the first Friday of the month). So tomorrow’s blog entry will probably be posted a lot earlier than the typical Friday entry.
