twilightponyDay one of preparations -- helping Applejack get ahead in her pomiculture. I got up before sunrise and had a good breakfast. It was first cut hay and beet pulp mash, to give me steady energy, without giving me the figits. At dawn I was out the door. Pinkie appeared at my side on the way to Applejack's orchard.
Applejack was already setting out the baskets under the trees with the ripe apples when we arrived. Then it was harvest time! Applejack bucked and coordinated, I picked and sorted, Pinkie stored. I'd forgotten how tiring it is to just harvest, sort and store all those apples. We drank a lot of apple juice.
We were at it all day and we didn't stop until after Celestia had lowered the sun. Oh but it felt good to soak in the Apple's water hole and watch Luna's moon rise gracefully up above the horizon. Another day and we should be finished. Big MacIntosh and Granny Smith will handle the rest while Applejack is gone. We should be back before the MacIntoshes are ready for bucking.
