Dear Mr. Diamond, we have been looking forward to seeing you again: it took as long as two months to make you up. Mei-Shun’s late father, the previous owner would be pleased as well. And do you know, it is the last day of lunar January today. Shall we go to the nearest shrine tomorrow to make a wish on the best day? White plum trees are in full bloom there, while cherry trees grew buds from pale yellow to red.
Mei-Shun would like to use comfortable adjectives like warm and cool more here, yet it seems we only have extreme change between torrid and freezing these days. On the other hand, plant ladies know the best timing to bloom — our garden princess already puts on a thin veil in pink, backyard plum in 80% blossom while green tea is served full in cherry.
Meow, dad has found this precious stone for mom, in color of my eyes. It took him quite long, yet a time during which he really enjoyed. I understand it well. Mom’s face in rejoice makes me happy, so does for him I’m sure, purr. Now my parents consider how to make it — into a ring, a necklace or another. Or they can enjoy it by itself for a while, like she does in the “desert star”, a gift from Professor S.

Shin and Mei-Shun found a big yam attached by a smaller piece. Since the wife is allergic while handling some, the husband always helps her cook them. Lunch was so good with ground yam and tuna sashimi soaked in soy sauce. However, after they had miso soup-based とろろ汁=tororo-jiru, raw yam potage using larger one for dinner, a serial sickness including headache, loose bowels and fever attacked them at midnight.
Here Mei-Shun’s new rice cooker follows. This shining black from T. Co., Ltd. has an inner pot of earthenware, easy to serve aromatic baked rice at the bottom. Only a problem is a slight smell of vinyl aired just after pearl white grains are finished. Shin calls 一日の長, one-day longer technique for the previous one made by P. Co., Ltd. that his wife took as a smart expression.
One of Mei-Shun’s dream here is to gallop with you, honey. Oh-no-no, you are a cotton candy while Miro, a half-bred boy privately owned should take that name. If you two share a field going around to the orgel-tuned music they always air, it will make a real attraction. And Vanilla-san, could you lead them completing this sweetest and hottest dessert hard to control?

Hello, 狛犬=koma-inu guardians. Their names are “阿”=a and “吽”=n, meaning breathing out and in to pronounce respectively. Mei-Shun greets the former before giving a prayer — oh? Who is this, taking a rest on阿’s cheek? Maybe you two are playing a hide-and-seek, closely resemble each other. All right, she would bring omikuji lots to lonely吽 and read them with him/her.
Mei-Shun loves this lovely little flower from her childhood, when she walked to nearby woods almost every day. They seem to close petals when it rains, while patiently look for sunlight under heavy clouds. Even gale does not matter to them, they stand still along this windy lane between rice paddy. Now she reached the nearest shrine, going up stairs to find a white plum in half blossom.
Hello tulips, it is our great pleasure to see you again in the garden. Yes, you are so short at first, bloom in miniature before growing up together. We look forward to seeing you in full size soon. Sleepy plum in the backyard has also been awakened blown by 春一番, rushed to open their red buds into white. Only one chimerical pink-flower branch might take more time.
Hi friend, somehow resemble Tora-chan who is generous enough to feed you. Oh, you might be her niece (or nephew) whom Mei-Shun called Alto. When you were a tiny kitten, your aunt let you stay a few nights at her bed with dinner. Was that you? Well grown-up, well done. Thanks for your gentle meowing. Please help yourself, we would serve more crisps for you two.
