Jeff's New Leaf Blog

On June 11th, the path to the Reset Surveillance Center was open. I dropped in for a visit, but Resetti wasn’t very happy to see me. He apparently had to use the toilet urgently, and he was waiting for me to leave so he could go. 😛

Saharah was in town, and I paid her 3,000 bells to renovate my main room. She installed a basement wall and a tatami. Not bad, but I didn’t keep them up.

The next day, Cube asked me for some perfect fruit. I gave him a perfect peach, and he loved eating it…in one bite. 😉

Last Wednesday, I spotted a silver slingshot flying by!

I shot it down, but it fell into the waterfall. Oops.

After putting some money into the bank, my account balance reached 122 million bells. That is still my highest total of any Animal Crossing game.

On Sunday, there was a camper in town: Cherry the dog! I like her, so I asked her to move to Forest. It took several attempts, but I eventually won a game to convince her to move in!

Monday, Molly asked me for some furniture to replace a fish. I bought her a kiddie meal from Harv’s shop. 😂 Molly loved it, and she gave me a microscope in return.

It was raining, and Lolly told me that if I jump in puddles, I should dry off later…in five years. 😛

Yesterday was the summer solstice, so it was bright all night long. Isabelle was at the plaza to hand out ladder shades, and my villagers were talking about how they’ll spend the extra daylight hours.

I found Cherry’s house plot very close to where Big Top lived (just a couple of spots to the south). So she’ll be my new next-door neighbor.

Today, Cherry officially moved in. I stopped by her house to welcome her to Forest.

Rolf said he was going to say hello to the new neighbor soon. But he had the nerve to say that he was the “Shadow Mayor!”

He later told me he wanted to move out of town on July 1st, but I made him change his mind. I can’t see myself letting Rolf leave unless I get him in another game.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Loona from Crimers, Annabell from Rainbow, Ziven from Atlantis, Yoshi from Popstar, and Skylar from Ashton. Thanks for stopping by!

When I visited Inkwell on Monday, he was showing off his “spankin’-new” super toilet. 😛

Of course, he was trying to talk me into buying it from him…at a price of 1,584 bells. When I’m trying to earn someone’s villager picture, I’ll do almost anything for them (except collect petition signatures or catch a fish/bug that’s not available). So I bought the toilet from him. 😛

I later regifted the toilet to Molly when she asked me for some furniture. In return, she gave me a tennis table.

Cube was sitting on the bench near town hall, and he asked me to join him. I gladly did just that, and I watched the geyser almost touch the moon. 🌙

Yesterday, Graham the hamster was camping at the campsite. Even though I have an open spot in town, I didn’t invite him here.

My two penguins were having a discussion about food. Cube asked Aurora why she never shares her homemade snacks with him. Aurora wondered how Cube knew she cooked, and he said that he could smell it from a mile away. Aurora said that the artistic presentation of her banana bread would be lost on Cube.

Yeowch, that is harsh. Aurora then ended the conversation, saying she had a headache. I never knew Aurora was such a savage.

Today, I found Saharah in town, right next to my house. I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting, and she installed a ranch wall and modern wood flooring.

I ran into Cube tonight, and he said that holes in socks aren’t cool, but holes in pants are awesome. He’s a weird dude.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow that I posted earlier this month, here it is: The 9th Year in Pictures.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Drake from Doborage and Sunbeam from Arcadia. Thanks for stopping by!

On April 24th (my first day playing after Big Top moved out), I received his goodbye letter in the mail. He included his picture along with the letter. It was weird seeing an empty spot where his house sat for years. So long, old friend.

Cube was talking about Weeding Day, and he wondered if weeds would taste good if you cooked them right. Did he just predict cooking in New Horizons? 😉

I didn’t play on Weeding Day, but I did play again yesterday. When I spoke to Aurora, it looked like I was talking to a lucky cat instead of a penguin. 😂

Today (May 2nd), Isabelle greeted me outside of my house. It’s my town anniversary, so Isabelle dragged me over to the town tree/event plaza for a celebration. Aurora (one of my starters) was also there, along with Porter and Hornsby. Happy 9th anniversary, Forest!

She gave me another sapling clock, and we fired off some party poppers.

If you’d like to relive my first day in Forest, you can see that first blog entry here.

After the celebration was over, Cube told me he was obsessed with getting a female mask. To be specific, it was the female mask I just got from Agent S.

Cube offered me 400 bells for it, and I agreed to the exchange.

In an area overgrown with orange roses (and other flowers), I ran into Saharah. I hired her to install new wallpaper and carpeting in my house.

I paid her 3,000 bells, and she put in a skyscraper wall and daisy meadow. I didn’t necessarily want either of them, but oh well.

Back outside, Lolly told me she was going to move out of town on May 12th. Even though I’ve said I may let some long-time villagers go, Lolly is not one of them. 😛

See you all next time!
