Oh, clear morning sunshine. Mei-Shun might see it weeks before: 梅雨 rainy season 2026 started on June 7th, keeps so cool that reminds her of childhood. Yes, our nurturing Sun stays in the highest sky at 夏至=geshi, the 4th of summer 二十四節気. Did 織姫 and 彦星 met last night, crossing the Milky Way? At least above clouds, where we expect a 下弦 half moon tonight.
Fluffy Friend
StandardHello, Opéra-kun; it is mom who named you after that gâteau au chocolat, resembles your coat accompanied by gold eyes. I, dad and she feel relieved to see you again. We noticed your right ear top cut a little, looking like a cherry petal. Such figures are called “sakura–mimi” meaning neutered. Kind adoption was wished, yet it is the 2nd best. Would you be my garden brother?

5Wks + 5Ds
Standard… Mei-Shun took to visit Tsukuba horsey riding club again. Mr. Marumorita, how have you been? Thanks a trillion for recognizing immediately one of your moms, when she entered the biggest stable accommodating stalls of you, Mademoiselle Angel and other friends. She did not reach Monsieur Couronné Blanc today – her apple peel bag already became empty. Mr. Sirius looked fine as well.
Bright Blue
StandardMei-Shun walked to a hair salon in high heels as usual. When she left home, tepid wind came in through front door. Her beautician prefers winter to summer, puts on short sleeves from early spring. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, a cute tea cup served features a tropical image. By the way, why her newspaper stays folded on a table? She pored over a magazine, that rarely happens.
Divine Dance
StandardI and mom enjoyed a longer drive yesterday, compared to hers these days. She let me into a restaurant for lunch, not wait within Ms. Scarlet like at horsey riding clubs. What did that mean? I’m always stay with you, mom. “However, she might come back in her own breed soon”, not on orchid ladies, dad implied. Take a deep breath; gaze, listen and catch my paw and purr.

Supine Sweet
StandardMei-Shun met M-chan at a baked eel restaurant, located nearby University of Tsukuba. Reaching the last year as an undergraduate student here, the latter niece safely received a job offer. That means the former aunt would miss big meals; might be better for her body, yet the worst for mind. Well, it is the exact opposite of elder sister Y. Happy, family communication is highly appreciated.
Cherish Cherry
StandardWe are on the last day of solar 水無月 2026, while 夏越の大祓 expecting a full moon. Shin headed Kyoto where people relish that traditional sweet. Mei-Shun planted Momo-chan babies onto the ground, just next to their mother tree. Since the husband currently refrains from calorific foods, the wife sometimes joins with him – it serves for her own weight control.
Professional Photo
StandardMei-Shun recognized a slight difference on Ms. Piano: humidity seems to affect her tone. When it reaches more than 70%, she sounds a bit muffled. Such timing makes above player turn on Mr. Air Conditioner in “dry” mode. Ms. T said the minimum condition for this musical instrument is 50%. Now it was lowered toward 60%, the best. Shall we enjoy clearer songs of moonlight?
Sacred Summer
StandardMei-Shun found many 提灯 lamps at the nearest station; hung along pedestrian lane, or held like a wide ladder. Such a night view reminds her of 祇園祭, when festival enthusiasm covers whole of our ancient capital. On the other paw of fluffy Mikan-chan, we might miss the 2nd most exquisite 十三夜 expected tomorrow. Rare, serial storms followed by 2 typhoons are forecast.
Gray, Green,
StandardIt rains hard from early morning. Mademoiselle Vert opened all her 19 flowers, enjoying shower outdoors. Mei-Shun brought her indoors when it stopped shedding tears around noon. Now she is ready to practice moonlight scores: it really is 梅雨 this year, who often prevents our seeing that celestial beauty or feeling the longest daytime on 夏至. Would you also continue until the end of solar July?
