twilightpony | Dusk To Dawn

A lot of hay was made into bales today. From my balcony, it was fun to watch the progress of tiny ponies in the fields, making bales and changing the color of the fields as they revealed the short grass stems under the dried hay. The activity stopped just before sundown, not just so everypony could attend Summer Sun Celebration parties, but because the evening dew raises the water content of the dried hay and a wet bale gets moldy. A stack of moldy bales of hay can catch fire. So no baling wet hay.

The party is well underway in Town Hall. My job helping organize it is done. I stepped out to watch Fluttershy's thousands of fireflies fly about the building and I slipped back to the castle get a breather from all the loud music and ponies. I'm heading back soon. I don't want to miss the lantern procession! I'm going to see if I can drag Starlight Glimmer along. She's still in the library studying.
