Thanks a million, Professor M. How did he catch the 4th crescent of lunar May last night? Rainy season means Mei-Shun has rare chances to see this celestial beauty. Her going out planned at least twice a week was finally over, expecting vacation-like summer henceforth. 晴耕雨読 would turn into 晴読雨舞, study foreign languages on torrid days, dance in wet weather.
… Mei-Shun enjoyed, under gray sky where ample raindrops fall from. She heard such cool June was experienced 2 decades before. Tokyo area saw heavier shower that forced her to use a taxi toward her parents’ home. “Hi dear”, mother greeted her younger daughter. “Green tea, my handmade yogurt and ohagi is ready for you.” Beloved father, shall we share your favorite sweets?
Shin is on board for the U.S.A. again. He left home before 6:00, drove Ms. Moon toward Haneda Airport. Train might delay caused by a slight earthquake last night, let Mei-Shun make good use of 先勝=sen-sho, a day the better if start working earlier. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Wednesday means she must practice “La Chevaleresque” composed by Master Burgmüller, missing horsey riding.
Mei-Shun visited the same hospital, reservation time as last week. Since the sushi restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, she ate much in the morning. However, more patients were waiting for their turn – there were many elder people. When her screening finished, it already passed 15:15. She was so starved that jumped into Ms. Scarlet, headed a supermarket where tasty dishes are available.
Lunar May started today. It brought 大安=tai-an as well, the best among 六曜. Mom feels happy; it was one of her favorite months when younger, while 仏滅=butsu-metsu, the worst removed from solar calendars. By the way, she has learned that photos of Mademoiselle Vert do not need shade change: her mobile phone carries a good camera. 3 flowers followed on weekend, purr.

I’m on Mademoiselle Vert’s 8 flowers, making a pair of wings right now. I and mom would like to show you kind 528 followers such an image, yet she is not so much a good photographer. We hope above shot works as a fluffy substitute. Sudden shower last night gave a bright morning. It made her use a parasol, who walked 5 minutes toward a hair salon in high heels.

Hmm, it is cool today. Rainy season 2026 started on 7th, Sunday while seems to take us back toward refreshing solar May. It was so humid in the last week, that horsey riding served a cascade under Mei-Shun’s clothes. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, clouds of her coat shade have covered that celestial beauty for as long as 10 days; including 二十六夜, a thin crescent appeared this dawn.
Mei-Shun visited a hospital, where she always sees Dr. A. Today has one of her annual screenings reserved in advance. It started from 13:30, took around an hour. She headed a sushi restaurant nearby, meant to treat herself. However, lunch time was already over – a “preparing” sign stood at their front door. When she directly returned home, sweet mom-in-law gave her 2 big crêpes.
Mei-Shun talked with mother on phone, for around an hour: their topic is always beloved father, who passed away today 17 years before. He loved roses, grew various colours next to his handmade golf range. Iris and hydrangea follow in violet/sky blue respectively. Are you interested in this breed with lace caps? Mom-in-law planted it, a gift from her daughter-in-law.
Here are Shin’s souvenirs from Europe. He returned on the last day of solar May, stayed at a hotel only on 2nd during the 1st week this month. Mei-Shun heard from him that Hungary is famous for foie gras and paprika. Either is suitable to bring home; the former is a bit too high-calorie, while the latter fresh. It is used for gulyás, their symbolic stew the wife is quite interested in.
