twilightpony | Fields Of Gold

My west balcony is one of my favorite reading places. It's quiet, I don't have to carry my reading cushions far, it's a quick trot to get more books or another pitcher of mint tea, I can sunbathe and read at the same time, and the view is wonderful. All around the fields are rapidly turning yellow. The hay cultivation and transformation specialist ponies have collected most of the bales for storage and we should get another shower in a day or two to spur the fields into fresh growth. I should order 45 bales of first cut hay from Applejack.

Spike tells me that if I want to see the Cloudsdale fireworks display at the Pan-Equestria festival, I'd better get there early. The festival heads told him that every bed in the Empire has been reserved and most will be occupied by visiting ponies two days in advance of the fireworks. It's going to be huge. Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash want to see this event too, so I wrote this morning to Princess Cadence to see if she has room for five ponies on an overnight stay. With the wildlife being so lively in the Crystal Empire this year, I don't think any of us would get any sleep if we camped outside.
