Shining Silver

Standard

Meow, mom seems to find her new favorites at that blue site we visited last weekend. “Baby, you are the prettiest in the world”, she always says to me. Purr, I know you mean to add “on this earth” presently full of young green. Pink flowers represented by cherry were followed by white ones, passing batons on purple. Shall we go to 乙戸沼 Park to see incipient irises?

Joy of Aquarium: 2

Standard

Here is a spotted seal living in an enormous sun lounge with a tank put below. He/she is one of a couple, kindly greeted Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Such a friendly mammal who swims around, jumps out of water to relax on an artificial shore. His/her attitude reminds above wife of a pygmy hippopotamus she saw at Ueno Zoological Gardens, where dad-in-law was working.

Fluffy and Full

Standard

We would expect a round moon tonight, yet a rainfall started from early morning. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun hope it will stop within today to let them see that celestial beauty. On the other paw, they wish horsey riding field drier than rice paddy tomorrow. Now it is time for her mom to sing those 2 scores with Ms. Piano — half of people passing by still use umbrellas.

Joy of Aquarium: 1

Standard

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Aquamarine Fukushima on weekend. There are idols living in the sea for the wife; one is colorful and lovely balls shown above, while the other thin mirrors. The latter has no scale, said too delicate to keep in a fish tank. It is therefore thanks to excellent expertise accumulated by that institution. By the way, other icons were added to her list following soon.

Practice Pressure

Standard

Mei-Shun often makes mistakes on Ms. Piano, even in her favorite “Clair de Lune” composed by Master Debussy. When she concentrates well, finger movement and key positions seem to melt into melodies flowing smoothly. However, sudden stops force her to read scores again. She wonders which key a note means, writes down sharps or flats with a pencil stub.

Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun

Standard

When titled mother and daughter visit “Arles”, they always go through different routes; 2/3 in Tsukuba toward the shop, the same in Tsuchiura from there home. The latter let them pass by a crossroad where Mr. O, husband of beloved Master Mei-Shu, takes just 3 minutes on foot to his place. He would still keep the lesson room clean with a 木札, wooden nameplate of that gentle lady hung above 床の間 alcove.

Graceful Green

Standard

Our backyard gingko started to give lovely little shells. Mademoiselle Vert seems to grow two flower buds, makes Mei-Shun feel really happy — she took them for leaves only, expected no blossom this spring. Hi honey, would you kindly bring Mikan-chan back on petals like her emerald eyes? Your friends outdoors are covered by young colors, shining in light sunshine today.

Amicable A-chan

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine on weekend, enjoyed an enormous carpet made of cherry petals. On the way to there, they found wild flowers in various colors including pink, blue, violet, yellow and one in Mikan-chan’s name of course. Elder 狛犬 helped the wife to greet Gods before drawing an omikuji lot. She had 小吉, a little lucky while the husband better 吉.

Sweet Sakura

Standard

This is the day for me and mom to visit “Arles” once a month, purr. She made a phone call in advance to avoid our empty drive on Ms. Scarlet. 染井吉野 cherry blossoms along main streets in Tsukuba were almost over, while 八重桜, layered-petal breeds began to bloom. And salted, tiny flowers on macarons welcomed us at the shop. She purchased another can with my image on the lid to accommodate them.

Wonderful White

Standard

It is quite cloudy from early morning today. Mei-Shun takes it easy to avoid suntan. Her only concern is weather forecasts of 40% rainfall around noon. Which would be better; going out for horsey riding, or staying home in kimono to practice 京鹿子娘道成寺? She chose the former accompanied by sweet Mikan-chan. Her great protection let a shower stop when they arrive at the club.
