Harvest Work, Harvest Party

[twilightpony]

We're nearly two thirds the way through Summer. Lots of crops are ripe and gracing our tables; fruits, berries, roots and leafy vegetables. But the queen of the greens is hay and the second cut has begun! Naturally, this calls for a party.

We had the 2nd cut party at Applejack's barn. Applejack specializes in apple cultivation, but she does have a hoof in the haying. To free her up for Pinkie's Second Cut Party, Dash, Fluttershy, Spike and I spent the day helping the best we could, mowing her parcel, and then harvesting, sorting and preserving the day's pickings. While we were doing that, Pinkie and Rarity were hard at work setting up the party, from the food on the plates to the banners in the rafters.

Finally, after a refreshing dip in the Apple Family water hole (I really needed that dip, it was so hot working those fields), we feasted and fested 'til the cows came home and joined us, and then we feted some more.

A party is perfect, and I'm glad you all had some good rest after preparing so much of it!

I was a little stiff when I woke up this morning, but a brisk trot to the community pasture cleared that up.

Good to hear it cleared it up!
