Jeff's New Leaf Blog

On Wednesday, Hornsby told me he wanted me to dig up his time capsule.

I grabbed my shovel, dug it up, and returned to the blue rhino. It had a red-bar shirt inside, and that was the reward that Hornsby gave me. Time capsules are more work than a typical delivery, so they should have better prizes than just clothing, in my opinion.

Meanwhile, I’m having trouble adjusting to the beautiful town ordinance. More often than not, the store is already closed by the time I play. So my pockets fill up, and item management becomes a chore.

And I forgot that villagers go to sleep earlier too, which is also quite annoying. I still need Bones’ picture, and he goes to sleep so early! Most days I don’t even see him.

Last night, Bob told me that he’s planning on moving out of town on June 11th. That’s Monday!

I’ve decided to let him go, and I plan on letting Squishy adopt him.

After selling some things today, I put my money in the bank. My account balance reached 108 million bells.

When I visited Bones, he told me that he hasn’t been practicing his metal guitar lately. Now that, I’d like to see! I haven’t seen a dog playing the guitar since…oh, well, since K.K. Slider every Saturday night. Nevermind. 😛 But I’d still like to see Bones play!

He wants to get better so he can start busking.

Today is the 5-year anniversary of New Leaf’s release in America! If you got the game on that first day, remember to play today to pick up your sapling clock! Unless you already got it last year and don’t want another one, of course. 😛

My recent dream visitors have been Elliott from Forest, Toad from Artland, Keelan from Alook, Teren from SmolTown, and Mia from Arcadia. Thanks for stopping by!

It seems like I’ve been burying a lot of time capsules lately, and Rolf just added to the list earlier this week. I buried his capsule in the usual spot.

While trying to catch a butterfly off of a cliff, I noticed something. I was able to hit the gold roses below with my net, causing some petals to fly off!

Since I haven’t been spending as much time in New Leaf lately, I realized that I probably don’t need the night owl ordinance any more. So I decided to change back to the beautiful town ordinance. I already have the gold weeding badge now, so the lack of weeds around town is not a problem.

But Isabelle reminded me that I need 20,000 bells to make the change. Wait, why? I’m the mayor? Who do I pay this to…myself?

So I got some money out of the bank and tried again. The new ordinance went into effect today.

Even though my paths are lined with gold roses, which don’t need to be watered, I do have other hybrids at various spots around town. Not having to water them will be a help. And now I’ll be able to skip a day of playing here and there if I need to.

Big Top approached me tonight, and gave me a frog costume for always helping him out. I hop he doesn’t expect me to actually wear this.

Boots asked me to find a peach for him, so I grabbed a perfect peach from the tree right outside his house. When I gave it to him, his jaw dropped.

He loved the peach, and he gave me a sandbag as my reward.

Later, I went over to Club LOL to catch K.K. Slider’s Saturday night musical performance. Kabuki and Sprinkle were also there; K.K. played Bubblegum K.K. for us.

My recent dream visitors have been Shiro from EastBlue, Mayounna from Amy Rose, Calebe from Cidadejc, Katie from Sarepia, Cheatsy from Insanity, Emma from Guadium, and Daniel from DanWoof. Thanks for stopping by!

Hornsby recently told me that he was jealous of my balloon hat. I can’t imagine why. He then told me to be careful not to pop it. Well, I guess it’s good that he doesn’t have one, because his horns would have popped his hat anyway!

On Tuesday, Boots told me he wanted to see the time capsule I buried for him. So I went to the spot and dug it up. He said it had an old sweat-soaked stadiometer inside. I thought that’s what he was going to give me, but he ended up giving me an eight lamp instead. Wow, what is with Boots and number lamps? 😉

Today, Hornsby asked me for some fruit. I gave him a perfect orange and he went crazy for it!

As a reward, he gave me his picture! Finally!

This is my 32nd villager pic (not counting special characters). I went home to take a look at it; Hornsby’s favorite quote is “You can’t hit a mosquito with a horseshoe.” I…don’t think that’s true. But I’m glad to have the pic. 🙂

Over at the campsite, Kiki was camping out in a tent!

I would have asked her to move in if I could, but my town is full. I should probably think about letting someone go. But the only villager I’d be willing to let go right now is Vivian, and the Amiibo villagers (which she is) never seem to ask to move out.

Rolf asked me to catch a butterfly for his niece tonight.

I keep a bunch of butterflies in the dock box for exactly this situation. I grabbed an agrias butterfly and then took it back to Rolf. He rewarded me by giving me a trunk. But oddly enough, he told me not to look into it too much.

Vivian asked me to make a delivery to Molly, and that gift was a shirt. Molly tried it on and asked me how it looked. I honestly didn’t know how to answer.

She then gave me some candy for making the delivery.
