Herd Meeting Announced

Herd Leader Timberwood would like to announce a Herd Meeting this Saturday at 8pm to discuss the sad state of our Lullaby Nursery. Blossom, head Nanny at the Nursery will speak about the problems and propose either a heavy overhaul or an upgrade. All ponies are welcome to come and those with baby ponies should take special interest.

Hello! Starwswirl here with your weekly fashion update! With summer hitting us full force all thoughts of last season heavy, full coverage gowns are long gone. The well dressed pony this season is wearing a veil of draped, shear fabric. The harem look is VERY in with strings of beads and jewels being added for the touch of glitz. For everyday hair clips are here to stay. Not only are the that little touch that gets you noticed they also keep your mane out of your face. There’s nothing worse than a heavy made covering half your upper body on a hot summer day. No one likes a sweaty mare!

News from the Nursery by Baby Tiddly Winks

Hi! I’m here to give you our news from the Nursery. Things are going great here! We’re so glad it’s summer. Waverunner gives us swimming lessons everyday in the pool. That’s great, even if Baby Drummer always splashes everyone. Posey was here yesterday. She brought us little pots and seeds. We put dirt in the pots, pushed the seeds in and water them good and well. Posey say in a few days they’ll sprout and then we’ll have daisies! I like daisies. Lucky says that daisies are girl flowers. I don’t know what that means, aren’t all flowers girl flowers? Who knows. That’s the news from the Nursery. Bye!
