twilightponyPot Luck supper went off without a hitch and it was fun and filling. We're still a ways from the first cut of haying season so a lot of the food is from our winter stores. The Zap Apples aren't due to come into leaf for a few days yet, but there are already a few spring greens to be found.
Spike and I made a lemon poppy seed bread. It was delicious and we served it still hot, that way the butter melted on the slices. Fluttershy made a trout-lily, cattail shoot salad, decorated with spring beauty flowers. Applejack's contribution was dandelion greens and grated carrot salad with little apple cubes. Zecora brewed a spicy currant punch, poured on chocolate ice cream and served with whipping cream on top. Rarity brought a corn pudding soufflé, Rainbow Dash brought a tub of rainbow sherbet and Pinkie brought a huge batch of rock candy. Spike ate most of that.
We set up a game of Bundle of Sticks. Zecora beat us all. She has a very steady and careful reach, and always seems to know which stick to pull. Dash kept going for the high score sticks even though we'd often warn her to try for something more strategic. I think she was teasing us, it did put all eyes on her when it was her turn. That game was a lot of fun.
We chatted about the smells of spring, how the air seemed to be alive with sound after the whispering quiet of the winter winds, and how the touch of the soil has lifted the spirits of everypony. All that's lacking is the swish and taste of hock-high pasture in the early morning dew.
