Mikan-chan has returned to normal health. She eats well, drinks much, uses her restroom nicely, plays actively and – sleeps after sleeping. Good girl, your job is just this. Keep cute as well.

Hello Again
StandardMei-Shun found mimosa bouquets at a flower shop in Ueno Station. We had grown two mimosa trees before 2013, yet neither of them survived in freezing Ibaraki wind, called Tsukuba-oroshi … Hi, friend. Would you join our family for a while?
Keep Healthy
StandardMikan-chan had a loose bowel last week. Thanks to her home doctor, she looked recovered for a while. However, she had it again … Sorry, baby. Mom should have used all medicine given from Dr. O.
Spring has come
StandardOn such a warm, bright day! Mei-Shun decided to renew the paper on shoji slide door. We have three big ones and two small ones in Japanese-style bedroom. Nicely white shoji let us feel refreshed.
Japanese Culture@wkday
StandardToday is節分; setsu-bun, the last day of winter. We throw roasted soybeans toward outdoors calling “鬼は外; oni-wa-soto” while into the room saying “福は内; fuku-wa-uchi”. This ceremony has been held at home to invite health and happiness, hopefully with coming warm spring. 立春; risshun, the first day of spring comes tomorrow.
Beautiful Songs
Standard“Lieder ohne worte” by Mendelssohn seems to welcome any lyrics. No. 20 Allegro non troppo, called 浮雲; uki-gumo meaning “clouds floating in the sky” is one of the most favorite pieces of Mei-Shun. She has begun to recall the melody after around 30 years!
