Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Last Saturday, Cherry asked me for some new furniture. She said it doesn’t matter what kind of furniture it is…because she’s a dog. 😆 Ah, I love when catchphrases work out like this. 🙂

Harvey was selling a garden faucet, and I thought Cherry (as a dog) could get a drink of water any time she’d like. So I bought this for her.

Cherry liked it, and she rewarded me with a cube clock.

On Sunday, I saw a balloon present heading towards the geyser! Oh no, the present is going to get wet! 😉

But the balloon actually took a detour around the geyser. Not to mention, the geyser didn’t erupt when the balloon was overhead anyway. Oh well. 😛

I don’t always root for chaos, but Animal Crossing could use a bit of it sometimes. Just to liven things up. 😆

On Monday, Inkwell, was chatting with Lolly, and he ran out of topics to talk about. He asked for my advice, and I told him to talk about books. But Lolly overhead us (of course, since she was right there), and she was offended. Oops!

But once she calmed down, she said that Animalese 101 was her favorite book.

Cherry was wondering if we dug deep enough, if we’d tap into a geyser. Judging by what was happening right behind her at the time, I’d say yes.

Today (March 17th) is Shamrock Day, better known as St. Patrick’s Day. I put on my club shirt and headed to the plaza, where Isabelle gave me a shamrock hat to wear.

I did not turn into Mohawk McClover this year in New Leaf, though I did in City Folk and New Horizons. But at least that gave me the chance to keep the shamrock hat on, and my villagers all commented on it.

Rolf asked me to fetch Lolly for him, and I agreed to help out. When we got back, Rolf told Lolly that he likes sweets, but not store-bought ones that are too sweet. 😛 So he asked Lolly to bake him something that was a bit more savory. Lolly knew just what to do.

She’s going to bake something for Rolf, and I hope Rolf shares with me! 😉 Anyway, Rolf rewarded me with a green wardrobe. Fitting for Shamrock Day!

Cherry asked to visit my house, and I let her come over. I showed her every room before she left. She didn’t give me a reward at the time, but I’m expecting one in the mail soon!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Kylie from Peachy, Noah from Stickvil, and Nicholas from Pouzes. Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all had a good Shamrock Day! 🍀

On February 25th, the snow melted and grass was green once again. My brick path was still made of ice bricks in these first few photos, but I’ve since changed them back to green bricks.

Cube approached me with a suggestion for a trade: He wanted my silver nugget in exchange for his moldy shirt. Wow.

Since I’m afraid to turn him down for anything (since I’m still desperately trying to earn his photo), I agreed to the trade. But he had the nerve to imply that it was an even trade: He said we traded treasure for treasure!

As you can see in that picture, Saharah was in town. I paid her 3,000 bells for a sci-fi wall and a closed road.

At Club LOL, I told K.K. Slider I was feeling a bit sad, and he performed King K.K. for me and my former resident Peck.

As a side note, Peck moved out of town nearly seven years ago, but he’s still hanging around Main Street. That shows you how infrequently new villagers move in and out around here. 😛

After the show, I found a lost item (a bag) down on the beach around 11:30. I started asking around, and it didn’t belong to Inkwell, Rolf, Boots, Aurora, Molly, or Cherry. Everyone else was asleep! But fortunately, the lost item was still intact the next day, and I returned it to Hornsby. He said there was raisin bread inside of it! He then rewarded me with a noodle tee.

Tonight, Inkwell told me that he was a man who loves his festivals in the sea. Appropriate, but you’re not going to get to many of those in this game.

I saw a really big fish shadow in the river, and I caught a stringfish! That’s worth 15,000 bells!

But wouldn’t you know it? It didn’t take long for Cherry to ask about it.

She offered to trade a cloudy tee for it. Since I’m afraid to say no to villagers I still need photos from (since they take seem to take years in this game), I agreed to the trade. This is actually even worse than the silver nugget for moldy shirt trade. Oof.

I’m starting to think my four newest villagers get together and brag about the awful trades they’ve weaseled me into. 😛 “As long as we never give Jeff our photos, he’ll do anything we want!”

There was a heavy meteor shower starting at 7 p.m., and Beth came over to wish on a few shooting stars with me.

Later on, Jeremiah asked me for a butterfly. I grabbed an agrias butterfly from my dock box, and gave it to him. He rewarded me with a bathroom stall.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitors were Michael from Galloway and Daniel from Walddorf. Thanks for stopping by! See you all next time!

On January 26th (the day after I posted my last entry), my snowman rolled a #31 for me. That gave me my long-awaited first bingo of the winter!

For completing my bingo card, he rewarded me with a snowmobile. Snowman bingo is fun and all, but after all that work, I basically retired from snowman bingo for the rest of the winter. It just takes sooooo long to get a single item. 😛

Three days later, Cube was celebrating his birthday with fellow penguin Aurora. I gave him that same snowmobile as a birthday present.

He seemed to enjoy it, and he had a nice party.

Yesterday (Thursday, Feb. 16th), Jeremiah asked me to collect signatures for a petition, “We Need a Town Snack Bar.” Since I knew Beth has been actively playing, I asked her if I could collect signatures in her town. She said yes, so I headed over to Cassia! My former villager Agent S was the first signature I got.

It only took a few minutes to collect all of the other signatures I needed. Julian (but not my former Julian) completed the list.

I returned the petition to Jeremiah, and he rewarded me with a soda fountain.

Festivale is coming up on Monday, and some of my villagers are looking forward to it. That included Aurora.

And if you’re wondering why her eye looks funny, it’s just awkward placement of her simple kettle. It looks like her eyes are open there, but they’re actually closed. 😆

If you need any help with Festivale, or a reminder of how it works in New Leaf, check out my Festivale Guide to answer all your questions. 🙂

I found an igloo at the campsite today, perhaps for the last time (since the snow will be melting on February 25th).

Bruce the deer was inside, and I politely said hello.

Jeremiah asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I accepted the challenge. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Cube, and Lolly. I found Lolly behind a tree (near the illuminated clock) almost immediately, and I saw Jeremiah behind Inkwell’s house soon after.

So after just 40 seconds, I was two-thirds of the way to victory. While Cube took me a bit longer, I still had over 11 minutes remaining on the timer when I found him behind his own house!

For winning the game, he rewarded me with his stool.
