Jeff's New Leaf Blog

Last Sunday night, I found Boots sleeping on the metal bench in town. I didn’t have the heart to wake him up, but I sat next to him for a moment.

On Thursday, I found a lost item (a bag) on the ground. I asked around, and I reunited it with its owner, Agent S. She told me that she put shaved ice in it! Oops, I guess it’s just shaved water now.

To thank me for returning it, she gave me some good-fortune clothes. I decided to wear them for a while.

I spotted Gulliver down on the beach tonight. He was talking about geoglyphs and alpacas, so that meant he was headed to Peru.

Boots had a new nickname for me…Beefcake. Not my favorite, but oh well. But just look at his face when he said it.

And up at Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Chorale for me, Dizzy, and Elise.

If you haven’t yet seen my annual slideshow of New Leaf screenshots, here it is.

My recent dream visitors have been Parker from Memory, Woody from New Oak, Zephyr from Castelis, Mayank from Alamberg, Sam from FlexTape, and Tech from Rhythmic. Molly also mentioned dreaming of Sergio from Alameda. She said he was a pro listener. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your weekend!

Last night, Vivian asked me to make a delivery to Rolf. I tracked him down and handed over the gift. He was impressed with the gift-wrapping on the item. When I returned to Vivian, she acted as if only a savage would return an item without wrapping it and including a hand-written note. 😂

When I played today, Isabelle met me outside of my house. After all, today is a special day in Forest…

I was taken against my will to the event plaza, where Isabelle held a ceremony to honor me. Rolf, Big Top, and Porter also showed up. Isabelle fondly remembered the day 6 years ago when I planted the town sapling (now the town tree).

She tried to give me a gift (another sapling clock), but my pockets were full. So she said she’d send it in the mail.

Then she told everyone to whip “IT” out.

So we all fired off some party poppers. Yay!

After the event, Agent S asked me to catch an ocean fish for her…in her own, weird way.

I caught a zebra turkeyfish for her, and in return, she gave me a zebra turkeyfish folk shirt.

Once I was done playing for the day, I deposited my money into my bank account. My balance reached 113 million bells.

As for my annual slideshow of my best pictures of the year, I hope to have that done at some point over the weekend. Keep an eye out for it!

My recent dream visitors have been Adria from Mist, Sunny from Zenithia, Joyce from Utopia, and Greta from Shirley. Thank you all for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Update for Throwback Thursday: If you want to take a look back at the first few minutes of Forest, here is a video I recorded back in 2013:

It has been a week full of holidays and events in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It started on Sunday (Easter), with Bunny Day. I only played for a bit, and it was late at night, but I spoke with Zipper T. Bunny and acquired a few pieces of egg furniture.

Monday was Nature Day (aka Earth Day), and Isabelle gave me a cool globe for the occasion.

I went over to the face-cutout standee and hugged a globe with a headless girl.

And today was Weeding Day (in America, at least). I met up with Leif at the event plaza.

Weeding Day is all about pulling weeds and cleaning up town. But Forest didn’t have any weeds to pull, so I automatically qualified for the Town Cleanup Prize. Leif gave me a violet screen, which he claimed to make himself.

I put it in my house, and it looks really cool. I like it.

When I checked out Claudia’s house, I was quite surprised at what I saw. Well, my first thought was that her house is really crowded. But then I noticed not one, but two pieces of gorgeous furniture!

For a moment, I wondered if Merka had really spoiled Claudia. But that didn’t make sense, because she didn’t like Claudia either. However, it turns out that Claudia came that way. Merka just failed to steal the furniture before she moved out. Now I’ll have to try to steal it for myself.

My villagers were talking about Weeding Day, and Lolly thanked me for taking care of the weeds.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest video, please give it a watch. It showcases 43 Animal Crossing villagers (and islanders) that still haven’t returned to the series. It includes a punk rocker sheep named Woolio, Pigleg the pirate pig, and a curiously-named anteater called Nosegay. Maybe we’ll see some of these animals return on Switch!

My recent dream visitors have been Angie from Moss, Marlene from Wien, and Ryan from Hyrule. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
