Jeff's New Leaf Blog

On May 1st, Muffy the black sheep was camping out at the campsite. So I stopped in to say hello.

The next day was May 2nd, and that was my town anniversary! It’s been 11 years since I became the mayor of Forest, so Isabelle dragged me off to a special ceremony. Interestingly, the attendees were asymmetrical; nobody else stood on the right side with Molly!

I said a few words, we shot off some party poppers, and we had a good time (I suppose). 😛

If you’d like to revisit that day, you can see my blog entry…or the video, which I almost forgot existed. 😛

A bit later, I shot down a balloon present that contained some roasted dino meat. Wow, how long has that been floating around up there? 😆

On May 6th, Mira asked me for some new furniture that would surprise Rolf and anyone else who drops by her place. So I gave the roasted dino meat to her. That will surely give Rolf a surprise! He’ll probably want to dig right in!

Speaking of digging, Boots asked me to dig up his time capsule today. I did, and he found a sweat-soaked red-check tee inside. Why is it still sweat-soaked after several weeks in the ground?

Of course, that sopping wet shirt was my reward for burying and digging up the time capsule. Oh joy.

Saharah was in town, and I hired her to install some new wallpaper and carpeting…after we ran back to my house, of course.

She installed this music-room wall and parquet floor.

Aurora asked me for some fruit tonight, so I gave her a coconut that I already had in my pockets. But to my surprise, she turned it down. She said she can’t eat a coconut!

But the most shocking part was that this ended the request! I was going to give her some bananas that I also had in my pockets, but she no longer had an option to give her fruit! Oof. I don’t know why she couldn’t accept an alternate fruit! That’s kind of annoying.

I recently posted my annual slideshow of best New Leaf screenshots. Check it out if you’d like; it’s the 11th Year in Pictures.

Have a good day, everyone. I’ll see you next time!

On April 20th, Rolf asked me to collect signatures for his “Restore the Good Ol’ Days” petition.

Of course, I had to decline the request now that online play is no longer officially supported. Although honestly, I would have declined it anyway. 😆 But I don’t have to feel guilty about it now, haha.

That same day, Boots asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I agreed to do it, so he will let me know when he’s ready for it back.

Today, I noticed something that has apparently escaped my notice for 11 years…and you may laugh at me for this. But I noticed that Aurora’s house is green!

I always thought it was off-white or light gray or pearl or something. Me being colorblind certainly plays a part in that, but the lighting (and cloud cover) also plays a role. I’ve historically played mostly at night, but I’ve been playing in the daytime more lately. It was clear and sunny when I played today, though, so I noticed the color. 😛

When I went inside, Aurora asked me to fetch Cube for her. I tracked him down, but there was a problem. I couldn’t ask him to come with me, because he was sitting on the metal bench in town! There was no way to tell him the news.

I had to go up to Main Street, and then return, to get him off his butt. 😛 So he followed me back to Aurora’s house, where she reminded him that he needed help writing a letter to his cousin.

Cube said he needed help spelling a certain word, but he couldn’t remember what word it was.

So he turned around and left, saying he wanted to get back to his juice box and crayons.

Well, that was pointless. 😆

Over at the campsite, Timbra the sheep was camping out. I was not interested in her, and Forest is full anyway.

Inkwell asked me for some new furniture, so I bought a money box from Harv’s campground. Yes, I was blatantly trying to bribe Inkwell into giving me his picture. He liked the money box…

But he only rewarded me with a common floor. I was uncommonly floored.

That’s all I have for now. I’ll let you all get back to your juice box and crayons. 😆 See you next time!

Last Monday, Flip the monkey was camping out at the campsite. He seems nice, but I didn’t particularly want him (and my town is full anyway).

It was still cherry blossom season at that point, so I took some pictures of the pink trees and petals.

I updated my dream for one last time, mainly so that I could see my final-ish dream visitor count. It showed 5,849…

But of course that didn’t include pre-update visitors. Before the update, I had 8,978 dreamers, which makes a total of 14,827. Thank you to all who have visited Forest’s dream version over the years!

I was actually going to make one last Dream Suite Adventure, but the town was no longer available.

Yesterday, a fishing tournament was held. Inkwell accused me of goofing off, when all I did was talk to him! How rude! 😛

Any type of fish was eligible for the competition, so I caught a couple of sea bass. The bigger one was 45.65 inches, and I handed it to Chip. It was a new record, and Chip rewarded me with a dab table.

Later on, I attended the winners’ ceremony. My fish had held on and won the tournament for me! Jeremiah won 2nd place, and Lolly finished in 3rd.

Today, Inkwell asked me for some new furniture to replace his sleek dresser. I bought this shoe locker from Harvey. With eight legs, I figured Inkwell must have a lot of shoes, right? 😆

Inkwell liked the shoe locker, and he rewarded me with the sleek dresser he replaced.

Mira asked me to dig up her time capsule, so I did.

I took it back to her, and she found a jade plaid shirt inside. To my surprise, that shirt wasn’t my reward. She gave me an alpine closet instead! That’s very rare to have a reward other than what was inside the time capsule!

Cube was at his house, and he asked me to bring Hornsby over. So I tracked him down…

Why did Cube need to see Hornsby? Just because he wanted to tell Hornsby that he had a nightmare where he ate up every peach in town.

When Hornsby heard that, he said he was afraid he would have nightmares about Cube’s nightmare. 😛 Cube gave me a school chair for helping him out.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Abbey from Cozytown was my most recent dream visitor. That’s not going to change any more, so in a way, Abbey is now a permanent part of Forest. 😛

It’ll be weird not ending each entry with the latest visitor(s) though. It’s kinda sad. But I hope to see you back here next time regardless. Never Stop Crossing!
