Here is Omochi-chan again. Mikan-chan found this stool the best place this morning. Yes, it’s cool, honey. Tasty season has come. Chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, pear, grape and green orange … Oh, mom has to make a reservation to see Dr. M, her home dentist!

Tuning Please
StandardIntroductory Lesson
StandardThanks, Maroo. He is very handsome and kind, a white pony, 20 years old, played a role of Mei-Shun’s partner yesterday. Our club let us prepare for riding; we have to brush his/her body, clean inside horseshoes, put cushions on the back, etc., before lessons. Nice idea it seems — we agree with them. Soft pats and gentle talking during preparation would help our wordless conversation.
After 23 Wks
StandardSo is a sigh of relief again. Mei-Shun feels so happy to see Dr. A, ever smiling to give a report of no problem once a month. After this “ceremony”, a small party is waiting for her at home; a sundae in the refrigerator. Her diet normally allows sweets only in the morning, yet such a treat helps her continue it.
Typhoon Etau
StandardIt raged through Chubu area yesterday, leaving hard rainfall around here. Mei-Shun heard a Heavy Rain Emergency Warning via our municipal radio communication system for the first time in her life. “Once in half a decade”, the weather forecast says. Shin told her to keep it on and stay home all day long. Yes, we are good girls. Please take care.
Wig Choice
StandardJapanese hairstyle for women had 4 basic 髷 (mage=bundling); 兵庫(hyogo)髷, 島田(shimada)髷, 勝山(katsuyama)髷 and 笄(kogai)髷 in Edo Period. Suisen-Tanzen normally employs a 島田髷 wig, yet our ex-head Onoe Kikugoro VII uses a 兵庫髷 one. And that is why Master Mei-Shu chose the latter, looking very handsome with a gorgeous 打掛 (uchikake=long kimono). Mei-Shun would like to look like her on the stage soon, at least in style.
Citrus Babies
StandardClever Horses
StandardThey are just great. 110 and more horses are working for a club in Ryugasaki. They work much harder than many of us; 6 days a week from 10:00 to 20:00. Rachel, the first partner of Mei-Shun, is a 17-year-old girl who has a shiny brown coat. She is kind and patient enough to follow beginners’ awkward signs to stop, walk and trot. Thanks, Ray-chan. Mikan-chan gave a permission to communicate with you. See you next week with a banana.
Smart Girl
StandardTora-chan is a little eater. Mom-in-law feed her twice a day, yet two third of it would be left over. That is why another cats come to our garden at night. It causes fights between Tora-chan and such interlopers. A vicious circle it seems, while the worst might be that she prefers treats Mei-Shun give her.
Chase the Sun
StandardShe made it. Our futon mats were hung in the balcony to dry. Only for a few hours, yet it satisfied Mei-Shun after rainy days of a week and more. In the afternoon, dark clouds came up to bring a shower for a while. The weather forecast says it will rain hard tomorrow. Well, it’s good for our plants. Oh, you prefer refreshed blanket, Mikan-chan.
