So Long Summer Surprise Supper

Pinkie sprang a So Long Summer Surprise Supper for all of us in Rarity's Carousel Boutique. Rarity had a grand time decorating her showroom in autumn colors with unfurled bolts of cloth hung like undulating waves along the ceiling and walls. She had all her manequins decked out in splendid fall outfits, posed like they were watching over and commenting on the supper. She set a long table for eight with her best dining ware and Pinkie and Applejack provided the feast. So for the three of them, it wasn't really a surprise, and for the rest of us, it was mostly a question of where and what Pinkie would do to welcome fall this year.

The food was excellent and abundant. Even Starlight Glimmer had too much to eat. Right now I think the picnic tomorrow will just be a light lunch, but I know that by then I'll be hungry again, so maybe not too light. Yes, the picnic is on! Rarity is coming with us, but not Applejack or Rainbow Dash. Dash has a prior commitment and Applejack has a harvest to keep up with and she has several dozen pies to bake. Rarity plans to pick up another tapestry to mend and study and Fluttershy wants to see the sporadic signs of fall as we walk through the Everfree. Earlier today I dropped in on Zecora to see if she would like to join us, but she wasn't in. I left her a note. I'll swing by there on our way tomorrow to see if she got my note.
