Spreading the Spring Spirit
Mar. 21st, 2016 11:30 pmPinkie didn't miss a beat. It's the first full day of spring after wrapping up winter and that means one thing. A party! She sprang into action to fete all of Ponyville with a Spring Has Sprung party. Some ponies bounce back from a sleepless Winter Wrap Up really quickly.
She fired all her party canons, launching balloons streamers and confetti. This time her cake canon worked too, although I liked the cakes baked by the Cakes better. Pinkie says the Cakes have better batter, it's all in the butter. Pinkie had ponies hang up banners and pinatas and she brought out games like kick the can of treats and pin the tail on the pony. There was also a six-legged race, which was run by the foals. Everypony else was still a little tired from working hard all Winter Wrap Up. But it was even more fun just to watch and cheer on the foals.
It was so wonderful out today. The blue skies, blooming flowers, singing birds everywhere. Only two days ago there was snow, gloomy skies and just the sound of the wind whistling through bare tree branches.
The Ponytones gave us a concert while dressed in colorful and airy spring garb on top of their shaggy winter coats. I was too hot to even think of wearing a hat. Many of the ponies watching and singing along are visibly shedding. Another sure sign that spring is here.
I saw Tank buzzing around, and Gummy splayed out on a hot rock in the sun. A whole bunch of butterflies descended on a mare at one point. She was standing in the sun, wearing a spring hat and dress and probably getting quite sweaty. She didn't even notice at first. Butterflies are light and she was intently watching the six-legged race.
After dark, Pinkie launched fireworks in a field at the edge of town. I followed my friends to a spot upwind where we settled in to watch the fire flowers blossom in the sky and sparklers spray sparks on the ground. It got a little chilly after that and we all went home. It really is spring.
