Fish Are Jumping and The Sun is High

[twilightpony]

Applejack invited us all over for an afternoon of horseshoes, swimming, snacking and generally just hanging out. It's too early for harvesting the corn, it's between cuts for hay, most of the weeds have been shaded out by the crops and she doesn't have that many early pippin and star apples to buck. It's still a month early for the boughsweets. So she's been making apple butter.

I finished up my jobs early, closed my books and headed over to Sweet Apple Acres. Rarity took the occasion to show off a dazzling swim suit she's designed which Pinkie was testing by doing cannon balls into the Apple family water hole. That's not exactly how a swimsuit is supposed to work. Fluttershy watched from a safe distance. Dash and Applejack were already pitching horseshoes, and I just spread out on a picnic blanket and sunned myself. Fluttershy and Rarity soon joined me. Eventually, when we all got sun baked and hot, we all went for a swim.

It's summertime and the living is easy.

Oooo, it's always great to hang out by a nice pool of water during the heat!

Water to wade in, shallows to gallop through, and friends to splash with great gouts, or dripping wet, to stand over as they sunbathe until they squeal and chase you through the shallows, nipping and laughing all the while.

Yes! It's always great fun!

Lazy summer days are the best days.

There is grass, lovely green grass everywhere. You don't even have to dig through the snow to eat it!
