Jeff's New Leaf Blog

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

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

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.

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.

Outside, Claudia gloated about her win.

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…

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

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!

On Wednesday, Lolly told me she thought I could use a baby bed. Wait, why? Are you trying to tell me something?

However, she said she just found it while she was cleaning her room? And it reminded her of me, so that’s why she gave it to me. So…is she calling me a baby?

Back outside, Boots was jealous of a cricket I caught. For some reason.

He offered to exchange his paw tee for my cricket, and I agreed to the trade.

I was sick and tired of everyone calling me a bell-pincher, despite me always agreeing to buy my villagers’ overpriced junk. I’d even prefer being called a stump maker, which isn’t exactly the most positive label either. So I chopped down all my palm trees on the beach.

However, that wasn’t enough; Boots still called me a bell-pincher. So I chopped down a few other trees as well. I’ll have to wait and see if my label has changed yet. If not, I’ll keep chopping down trees (and replanting them when necessary).

Tonight, Boots asked me for some new furniture, so I gave him a bird feeder that I had in my pockets. He loved it, and he thanked me by giving me his picture. I’ve received his pic multiple times before, but I appreciate the gesture. Now if only Lolly would do the same…

Tonight was the night of the autumn moon (harvest moon), so there was a scarecrow on a face-cutout standee at the event plaza.

Isabelle was also nearby, handing out wheat bundles.

And up at Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Marathon for me and Velma.

My recent dream visitors have been Jade from Rosewood, Logan from Noire, Emily from Rathwood, Lottie from Cake, Zoey from Oakland, and Kaine from Flavour. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Last week, I found a lost book on the ground. I returned it to its owner, Vivian. She said it was a mystery novel that she didn’t get to finish. The detective just found out that a vitamin jar was in the polenta. What a jarring discovery!

She gave me a watermelon table for returning the book.

On Monday, Big Top told me a fish story about the one that got away…up his nose! Yikes. That’s one danger of fishing that I’ve never even considered!

Monday was Labor Day in the U.S., so Isabelle was outside at the event plaza to hand out picnic baskets. There was also a face-cutout standee for Labor Day, so I stuck my face into it.

I later stuck my face into the picnic basket too. 😛

When I ran into Big Top again, he gave me a present: a portable toilet!

He said when he saw it, it reminded him of me! 😮

Tonight, a scorpion was waiting for me as soon as I came out of my house! Fortunately, I was able to catch it before it caught me.

I visited Lolly, and Rolf was also there for a visit. Or maybe he was just there to eat Lolly’s cookies!

Lolly said she was hoping to have an oven-cleaning party in five years. As tempting as that sounded, I declined the offer. Besides, she might not even save me any cookies then either!

I found another lost item, a mitten, tonight. Once again, it was Vivian that lost it! But she said that she doesn’t even wear the mitten, she just uses it to keep a porcelain figure called “Softball Girl” inside of it! Vivian is a strange one.

She gave me a relay tank for returning the item. I relayed my thanks.

At Club LOL, Daisy and Tom were seated at opposite ends of the club. Perhaps they were fighting like cats and dogs. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he played K.K. Metal for the three of us.

Today, I posted a new video with my thoughts of the latest New Horizons trailer. Of course, I added a few humorous edits as well. Please check it out!

My recent dream visitors, according to Luna, have been Yoshi from Lavandia, Eric from Ska Show, and Zephyra from Empyre. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
