Creature Comforts

[twilightpony]

I spent most of the day sprawled out with a half dozen books on my little sandy patch in the east fields. It was sunny and warm with the occasional distracting butterfly and bird. I felt I could almost see the grass growing. I had my picnic blanket to keep the sand out of my books, but little bits of fluff would blow in every so often and settle in the windshadow they cast. Then I noticed an ant colony diligently excavating their tunnels, grain by grain. No way was I going to get any reading done. I went home.

When I got back, I found Rainbow Dash and Applejack in the mane hall playing Ring Fling. They were tied at four games a piece, best out of five. I pulled up a cushion and got back to reading while they fought it out point by point, best out of seven.

I forgot to notice who won. It was probably a tie.

We should really do this more often.
