It is Mei-Shun’s great pleasure to report on current avocado. He is a descendant of the first couple who flew away hand in hand during her hospitalization. Moved from a pot to the ground, he survived difficulties in competition with other members rooting nearby. Yes, he has made it. Taught by mom-in-law how to help him grow, Mei-Shun dug a hole approx. a foot in diameter, spread fertilizer on the bottom of it. Her next job is to arrange his winter place.
It is said that 秋の日は釣瓶落とし, meaning the sun sets immediately in autumn like a hung pail falls onto the surface of a well. It really does: air around you suddenly gets chilly after 15:00, blue in the sky turns darker and darker toward real black just before 夕焼け小焼け, Home for Dark starts to sound through municipal radio system at 17:00. Since younger days, Mei-Shun prefers to hear it at home. Thanks to family members, a little sadness to say good-bye could be much alleviated.
