Hello, little baby, great to see you. Which will you become, flowers or leaves? Well, you are too tiny to answer now. Either would be the happiest for Mei-Shun who calls you girls as the former, while boys the latter. Please listen, this is the last day of 2020. It seems like quite normal holidays starting from Thursday to a quiet weekend, leading to her birth month.
Month: December 2020
Silhouette Sister
StandardSo 2020 has only 2 nights left, including a full moon tonight. It rained from early in the morning, made mom worry that she could not see it. To her great relief, drops and clouds have gone to supply slight sunlight around noon. Meow, there in the stairwell, I see a kitten staring at a bird above. Would you like my help? I’d love to if you let me share such a warm place. Purr … purrr …

Cup Collection?
StandardHello, a cup for tea and coffee made by N Co., Ltd. Mei-Shun had a couple in this design attached saucers, yet found one cracked the other day. And Noriko-san, one of her closest friends, made a bowl following below her wedding gift. They therefore became a tea service set for special celebration of Shin and MS. He was quick enough to order a new one, made it 1-bowl, 2-cup and 3-saucer.
Rain Ready
StandardOr snow on the roof floor. Mei-Shun cleaned it yesterday to remove dust and fallen leaves from little drains. How long did she take from previous time? At least a whole year before, when an awful pool appeared there to flow down toward the ceiling of Shin’s study. Actually, some of plugholes were in danger. Such strainers were difficult to move, stuck with dry mud made of … oh, fragments of worn flooring!
Thank Thee
StandardMei-Shun cordially means to you kind followers. She has never imagined to see such number, over 300 within this year. Although the slightest compared to famous others, she would love to continue on this little site. Mikan-chan, Ms. Piano and Masters Mei-Shu and Bando, please take her huge appreciation as well. She wishes you all a very Merry Christmas!
Got Goal
StandardMei-Shun made it. Precisely, this year saw the number on a scale three times including today. The first one came in September, stopped for around a month with half a bag of sugar. Then she started to lose it before 邦楽発表会, feeling tense. Regaining weight she lost would be the biggest dismay, yet it has not occurred so far. Even if a narrow escape, she will keep a stiff upper lip with her own methods.
Boots and Kimono
StandardOh, Ms. Piano, Mei-Shun misses you so much. A slight cold, came from Shin perhaps, prevented her from even touching you for these several days. In addition, she had to get used to a new lifestyle; twice horsey-riding lessons a week, once kabuki-dance. Since it is all the opposite of her pattern from October, she has found it difficult to control a different kind of fatigue.
22, 2020
StandardMeow, it is the last of my days in this year, come once a month. Mom visited Master Bando for final lesson as well, left me alone at home. Well, that is all right. I am a good nurse, know well how to rectify myself … hi, mom, welcome back. Thanks for cleaning something I threw off onto the floor and restrooms. Lunch please, and bedtime on your legs follows. Purr … purrr …

Two Twins
StandardWe have 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 today. That means the longest night in northern hemisphere, makes Mei-Shun rush to western window at dusk to see Jupiter and Saturn float side by side. There they are, yet quite difficult to recognize the further latter, who finds himself a bit too close to the former. And oh, Princess Cymby finally opened 3 flowers; one on the top, 2 just next to each other.
Hi and Bye
StandardPurr, it is warm indoors. Mom is also happy seeing Princess Cymby and Mademoiselle Vert; the former has two flower buds growing little by little, while the latter one. She cleaned 2 vases today as well, one of them a gift from dad. Time flies, fragrant lilies have gone. Carnations joined roses in a hanger. Backyard gingko tree took off a golden coat, left her some to pick up again.
