twilightpony | Here Comes The Sun Fling

Summer Sun Celebration is just two days away. This time around it's Los Pegasus that will be hosting Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Here, I've been helping Pinkie organize Ponyville's traditional Summer Sun Celebration event. Rarity is on the task of decorating town hall, the Apple family and the Cakes are cooking up mountains of treats, Pinkie has DJ Pon3 slated for music, and Rainbow Dash will gather up the clouds when she gets back for Wonderbolt compound duties tomorrow evening. Pinkie suggested we hold the all night party in the castle, but I quashed that idea. We're not celebrating me and the town hall is the heart of Ponyville. It's traditional.

We're bringing back some of the fun things from last year, such as princess-shaped cloud sculptures, a lantern procession and fireflies. Fluttershy's feathered friends have been pestering her to conduct a dawn chorus again, so it looks like we'll be doing that again too. One good thing about the early first cut harvest is that the hay in the western pasture will have been baled by tomorrow evening, so it will be easier for that field to spring back after all of Ponyville tramples it. Pinkie put up posters everywhere, so everypony knows where to go and what to expect this Summer Sun Celebration. She has several ponies making new paper lanterns so we'll have enough to go around.

Spike left this morning for the Crystal Empire, but he'll be back in plenty of time to party all night with Ponyville tomorrow. It's Baltimare's turn in the Pan-Equestria Fireworks Festival.

Hay is still drying in the fields. The odor is intoxicating. The castle just sucks in that delicious aroma at ground level and wafts it down every corridor. This stone tree is trying to get me fat.
