The Calm After The Swarm

Spike tells me that the green glowing luna moth swarm last week was the last big wave of invaders from the moors and spruce forests around the Crystal Empire. Since then there hasn't been anywhere near as many insects, small animals or drifts of pollen washing through the Crystal Empire streets as there had been up to now. Maybe Princess Cadence was right.

The weather has been great for a picnic and the pastures are still short following that first cut, but that can wait until Dash finishes her compound-cleaning stint. That will be in about five days, so, soon. Meanwhile, Spike and I could make some strawberry jam.
