25th crescent gently greeted Mei-Shun, who slipped out of front door before 5:00. Although sunrise has got much earlier, that celestial beauty still helps. 五月場所 sumo tournament started at 両国 from yesterday, when her favorite rikishi won. Since he came back into the highest 幕内 rank, it was the 1st 白星 on 初日. Now is the time for her to walk toward a hair salon, in high heels as usual.
Bright Blossom
StandardWe are on March 22nd, my day on lunar calendar. Mom purchased an arrangement of red carnation, prepared for coming Sunday. Grandma of her side stays in 草津, who prefers planted flowers to arranged ones. She therefore praises me on Princess Cymby and Mademoiselle Vert every year, purr. The former finished her stage, handed a gold baton toward the latter.

Green or Gold
StandardShin and Mei-Shun finished their holidays yesterday, started weekdays again from today. The husband returned home on the last day of solar April, while the wife had a runny nose. He sleeps well since then; she does not, breathing by one hole only. On the other paw of sleepy Mikan-chan, dulcet melody, harmony and rhythm always give her refreshment in mind.
Miraculous Medicine
StandardWe are on the last day of Golden Week, serial holidays from the end of April. Mei-Shun might make it as long as possible; take day-offs on Thursday and Friday twice, gain 12-day vacation this year IF she were half in age. However, she feels no need for such a mental task any more. Now a glass of sweet Italian wine is reward toward her equanimity at home.
Nice Nap
StandardWe have 立夏=rikka, the 1st of summer 二十四節気 today. Also, Mei-Shun celebrates Children’s Day with bright sunshine. Many people enjoy 柏餅 and/or 粽, while Shin and his wife have already done it: those were available at a shop of good Japanese sweets only from May 1st to 5th this year. It did not include Thursday, when they wait regular food delivery in the evening.
Full of Flowers
StandardHere Mei-Shun opened a big box of chocolates, one of favorites for Shin and herself. They are a bit worrying about its sustainability – that shop quite decreased product variety. The wife therefore purchased more online this year; on February 14th or St. Valentine’s Day, followed by the same date in March. She also noticed they taste the best until June 6th, his birthday.
Gorgeous Gifts
Standard… Shin brought home, thanks a million: he returned from U.S.A. late last night. A bottle of exquisite whiskey born in our country sits within a wooden box. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, a glittering paper bag accommodates famous American chocolates. Oh, big and beautiful 十五夜 moon appeared in eastern sky. What scores would Mei-Shun practice, after a daytime storm?
Sleep Smiling
StandardHere I’m at the best place to relax, mom’s legs. She calls me the prettiest profile, purr. We are on the last day of solar April, lunar March 14th or White Day. She therefore relishes a white-meat melon – a treat for herself who slightly succeeded in weight control. One of her favorite fruits and 黄八丈 shochu distilled sake, dad’s souvenir from a tiny Tokyo island, are a nice match.

Happy Horsey: 2
StandardHello Mademoiselle Angel, great to see you again. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited their Tsukuba club, enjoyed trot on above snow-white lady while danced a little with Mr. Marumorita. They felt like going back toward 2 years before, when intensive lessons worked well. It was quite cool, almost no perspiration was seen. However, a scale gave better numbers; she lost half a sugar bag.
Peach Perhaps
StandardMei-Shun finally separated Momo-chan babies: elder one stays in a grape basket, younger moved into a smaller pot. When she dug their soil cushion, the latter was found tangled with a piece of net by root. She cut and let it go together, then turn to the former. Could you keep at a distance from this handle, remove such a ceiling for your head? She wishes you two healthy growths.
