Trophy Collection Complete

My hard work cutting down trees has paid off. On Monday, Boots called me a stump maker!

Boots: You've been the subject of some gossip lately. Rumor has it you're a stump maker.

Anyone new to the blog may think that sounds absurd. But I was so tired of being called a bell-pincher that I got my axe out and summoned my inner lumberjeff lumberjack and chopped my way to a new reputation.

I’m still trying to earn Lolly’s picture, so I always accept her trade offers…even when they’re extremely one-sided. That included this trade where I gave her an arapaima for a chevron shirt!

Lolly: So would you consider trading your arapaima for my chevron shirt?
Lolly takes Jeff's arapaima.

On Thursday, I was quite surprised when I fell into a pitfall!

Jeff struggles to get out of a pitfall in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
What the hole?

The fact that it was in that location means that someone must have fallen into the pitfall I had buried behind my face-cutout standee. (If there is already a pitfall buried in town, new ones won’t appear). I later replaced that one.

Today, the final Bug-Off of the year was held.

Nat: Would you believe this is the final Bug-Off of the season? Terrible shame, but don't let it affect you!

I gave Nat (the judge) a tiger butterfly, and he gave it a score of 53 points. It took over the top spot, but I wasn’t trying to win. I saved and quit my game, only to return after 6 p.m. Claudia ended up being the winner, with a 65-point walking stick. I got 2nd place, and Aurora finished in 3rd.

Claudia celebrates a Bug-Off win, while Jeff gets 2nd place and Aurora finishes in 3rd.

Outside, Claudia gloated about her win.

Claudia: I knew we'd both do well in this tournament, Jeff.
Claudia: But I also knew I'd be standing at least one step higher at the end! Ooh la la, no hard feelings.

Sure, Claudia wasn’t exactly being nice about it. But 2nd place is exactly what I was trying to get! That’s because the silver bug trophy was the only trophy I still needed. So now, my trophy collection is complete!

Lolly told me a story about some pressed pansies…

Lolly: Can I confied in you? I pressed some yellow pansies between books to make decorations later.

She somehow mistook them for tea leaves and she made Hornsby drink her pressed-pansy tea!

Lolly: Then the other day, I mistook them for tea leaves...
Lolly: And I accidentally made Hornsby drink my pressed-flower tea! Please don't tell him about it!
He may never stop over for tea again.

My recent dream visitors have been Kodi from Fantasia, B.D. from Cannton, and Rachel from Xmas. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
