A Mare With Many Hats
Dec. 18th, 2016 11:52 pmThis morning Applejack and Rainbow Dash joined us in our warm-up run. Following their suggestion, we ran a circuit around and through the orchards at Sweet Apple Acres, after which we had breakfast in the Apple family kitchen.
Dash has finally decided on the perfect den for Tank. It's in a high, well drained area, on a south-facing slope and protected by a grove of trees. It's quite near where Tank hibernated last year.
I went to see Fluttershy after breakfast to see how I can help after the Running of the Leaves. I noted that Dash had chosen a den for Tank and I asked Fluttershy how it went. She said that the den Dash chose had been one of the first dens Fluttershy suggested to her, if not the very first one. But Dash had to see all the other available dens, just in case. She may have driven Fluttershy just a little bit batty. Fluttershy tells me that Dash has started decorating Tank's winter lodgings and it's looking like a Daring Do shrine, with a few flying awards thrown in for variety. There's even a little Tank-sized bed. Tank wasn't present during the den renovation -- Rainbow wants it to be a surprise. Then Rarity arrived and we stopped gossiping. Rarity had her saddlebags full of warm knitted and felt hats for the hibernating critters, which she dumped out onto a table. I helped sort those and the ones Fluttershy had collected during Winter Wrap Up by size, type and species.
