Applejack was still having trouble asking people for help around the farm. She hadn't even announced when the Zap apples had come in. She'd simply worked through the 24 hours herself. Bucking every tree they had, like an applebucking machine. She barely registered when anyone else helped. She was so set in burying herself into her work. The baby had been a great distraction, but it hadn't served to last as long. Even if the due date was inching closer and closer. And it was easier to not think. To just crash into bed and sleep without dreaming at the end of each day. AJ knew by the bite of the wind that winter would be hitting them soon. So she had set herself to get ready for the first frost by covering up the plants that would need protecting. Soft little pony curses rumbling past her lips with each tug of the thick cloth that didn't want to pull free from the shelf above. She knew she could have pulled the whole dang thing down, but she didn't want to do that. "Daggone cotton picking," When her fingers slipped from the cloth and she fell to the floor she muttered. "Oh horseapples." Mac wouldn't have had any problem getting the dang thing down. |
