twilightponyToday was the Picnic in the Fields Day. Pinkie had a hoof in coordinating the decoration of the ways to the east pasture. As there are several popular entrance points to that pasture, the balloons and banners pretty much lined the Ponyville side edge of the east pasture. The skies were mostly clear, except for several clouds sculpted to look like dancing and running ponies. While they pretty much stayed put, the clouds did tend to coalesce into short-limbed lumpy pony shapes after an hour or so. Pinkie also made huge batches of rock candy for the occasion and ponies were making rock candy necklaces all day, just like last year. Otherwise, it was a pretty relaxed affair.
We arrived with our food and picnic gear around midday. Pinkie was already there and she waved us over to a spot on a hill top. Lots of other ponies were arriving too, and by the time we'd spread our blankets and brought out the plates, half the town was settling in for lunch in the pasture. Some ponies had thought to bring their netball equipment and were having a spirited game not far from us. Pinkie gave us each a rock candy necklace and we unpacked the food.
We had dandelion oat bread sandwiches, third cut hay with trout lily greens, raisin bread with apple butter and zap apple jam, carrot cake and peppermint ice cream for dessert.
After lunch, Applejack and Rainbow Dash went over to play netball, Pinkie went to were she'd left the rock candy necklace supplies to see if anypony needed help, and Rarity, Fluttershy and I relaxed, read books, and soaked in the sunshine. On a whim, I recited 'Pasture' from I Met A Mare to my friends.
I wonder how my niece is doing.
I think the event was a success. I know we had a good time.
