Fixing Holes That Kept My Mind From Wandering

[twilightpony]

This afternoon I caught up with Applejack and Big MacIntosh in the orchard. They were tidying up around the trees and filling the few dozen extra holes I'd dug for them the other day, seeing as they didn't have enough apple tree saplings to plant in all of them.

That was a bit awkward.

While I helped fill in the holes, Applebloom got home from school and was about to high-tail it for her clubhouse. I told her that since the result they had had working together last time had been so promising, this week when she and her friends came over for instruction, we were going to try and grow another acorn, but make it bigger. It's only a few days away, so they should be practicing their skills and don't forget your supplies. By that point she was so excited she was a red and yellow streak racing over the hill towards the clubhouse. Applejack and Big MacIntosh were grinning like... something to do with squirrels, herding, and a corn seed mattress.

There are still no leaves on the Zap Apple trees.

"...something to do with squirrels, herding, and a corn seed mattress."

Country-isms, how do they work?

[twilightpony]

Country-isms... they're part of Applejack's special talent. Maybe I should see if Random Horse publishing has a dictionary of colloquialisms in print. The one in the Golden Oak Library got blasted.

Yeah! I'm sure they'll all be good and ready to show their skills!

Hehehe, those country-isms can be a bit confusing.

Granny Smith is even more prone to uttering contry-isms. They seem to like saying them a lot.

[flareblitzfury]

Yeah. I wonder how they come up with them.
