Oh, brilliant 十六夜, Mei-Shun feels happy to see you stay in western sky at 5:30. Shin got on Ms. Moon toward Narita International Airport, heading Vietnam on business. Although we have 啓蟄=kei-chi-tsu, the 3rd of vernal 二十四節気 today, cold air still let them put on thick coats. When the wife returned warm living room, she found a big note on a staff.
Round Rice
StandardMei-Shun nearly forgot 丸餅 cakes stored in Ms. Cuby, her refrigerator. They were cooked into 雑煮 soup on 元旦 of course, yet most of them often wait for other dishes later. Grilled ones nicely friend with salty/sweet ingredients; 海苔 sheets, soy sauce, cheese, sugar and simmered red beans. Oops, 3 pieces were connected like a “3” shape – a bit too big to dip.
Elegant Eclipse
Standard… we could not expect tonight, while above 馬酔木=Japanese andromeda flourishes. It actually went to mother of Mei-Shun from mom-in-law, exchanged with a 沈丁花=daphne in our garden. Pink clusters might keep celebrating ひな祭り=Doll’s Festival, for 2 girls lived there decades before. 2026 saw younger one of them enjoy 花きび=sugary popcorn instead of ひなあられ sweet rice cracker.
Similar Shape
StandardMei-Shun saw solar March start yesterday, while her lunar birthday. The former means one for her favorite sumo wrestler who must already stay in Osaka: 三月場所 begins on 8th. It also accommodated 十三夜, the 2nd most beautiful figure of that celestial beauty following 十五夜. However, 春霞 foggy clouds made her look 朧月; who forecasts rain soon.
Only Occasion
StandardPrincess Maria, it is the greatest pleasure for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to see Your Highness today; the last weekday of this month. Rainfalls, allergy of the latter, etc. prevented them from exercise with you horseies in one after another lessons. By the way, they are not in a nearby wood where “endurance” courses are available. Warmer air surrounds them on open field.
Cure Control
StandardMei-Shun saw Dr. W this afternoon: the former makes it a rule to do so when she is in better condition. That might mean a home doctor, who gives mental/physical advice into clearer ears. The latter lady always keeps smiling; listens first, answers/speaks next. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, it seems hard to work normally among people with virus or bacteria.
Moist Mercy
StandardIt rains hard from early morning today. Mei-Shun heard that reservoir capacity is quite smaller than usual, only a bit above 30% in some dams connected with Tonegawa river. It therefore must be marvelous, yet no moon or horsey riding is available for herself. And oh, it is getting more and more stormy; no shopping either. All right, she would start singing moonlight scores on one of her home friends.
Night Light
StandardNow I reached 20th paw, purr. Mom keeps a small curtain open after dark, enjoys 90-degree view of me from living room these days. My shade looks like sunlight, shines even when clouds cover all above us. The brightest might be growing at the top: twins to count full 22 will call dad and mom on behalf of my voice. Please wait until around lunar birthday of the latter.

Pottery Pattern
StandardKanto region had 春一番 today, 1st windstorm blows from south between 立春 and 春分; the 1st and 4th of whole and vernal 二十四節気. Mei-Shun took it does every year, while they say it only did 2 years before. Such fierce weather nearly let her give up walking to another hair salon nearby, yet she squeezed power in high heels. Here they serve curl after shampoo for her hair, no time to see a cup of tea.
Enjoy Exercise
StandardMei-Shun did today, as one walking toward nearby hair salon in high heels. She was a bit in a hurry, did not recognize sweet scent of this white plum. Hello, Madame Blanche, it seems your colour is often seen this year. After a cup of tea at home, she changed into jeans and trainers. The other workout heading the nearest shrine resulted in 吉 for Shin with her 小吉.
