Welcome back from the U.S., Shin. He took no day off, went out by Mr. Diamond this morning. Mei-Shun followed him on Ms. Scarlet after a few hours to see Dr. M, her home dentist. Empty place of late Ame-chan almost recovered from a hole. However, a little problem was found there: an awfully black spot was seen in a photo. It is not decayed yet, requires intensive care.
So this is the last day of current month for Mei-Shun to see horseies. As Mikan-chan kindly mentioned before, she could keep healthy enough to attend all reserved lessons. Rain, snow and gale prevented her from doing it twice, yet other Mondays, one Wednesday and Thursdays made it. See you again next month, on similar schedule to 4-week February in 卯年.
Mei-Shun, who lately resumed practice of “Life is Merry-go-round” on Ms. Piano, was not on that fun-fair equipment featuring horseies but on a train to Tokyo Station today. A bit cloudy sky still accommodates clear views of Ushiku Pond, a cup noodle maker’s chimney and Skytree as usual. After having a haircut, she enjoyed the first walk toward the end of Joban Line platform.
Purr, yesterday was for my breed when dad flew to the United States. His time went back to the same 2.22 while mom and I celebrate birthday of current emperor Naruhito today. They say it is for Mt. Fuji as well, reading 2-2-3 in her mother tongue. We do not know which mom-in-law living downstairs cares more, yet are always thankful to her cooking お赤飯=red-bean rice.

Oh, what a gale it blows today! Mei-Shun still found ume plum buds growing in quieter morning, thanking a next-door neighbor who kindly cut big branches around above tree of chimerical flowers. This spring might see normal 三寒四温, 3 cold days before 4 warm ones. Solar February had a snowfall on the 2nd weekend, all dry through 3rd until sleet last night.
Lunar February starts from today. Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine in mind, while in body her horsey-riding club. One in the morning, the other in the afternoon with cute boys respectively. Their lunch time gave her 30 minutes to look for nice items around the counter. Oh, here are yokan or sweetened red-bean jam sticks accompanied by a tiny omikuji lot.
Meow, mom finally made a pie featuring one of my cousins and tequila. With the intention of consuming a bit elder condensed milk by it, she chose less cakes at “Arles” on Wednesday. She also bought a cheese cake mix for crust, rather than recommended graham cracker. Left filling powder was simply made into mousse, above green citrus fruit sliced within.

Mei-Shun enjoyed a trot lesson with Mr. Danone Caesar and Princess Maria today. Normal place for the latter lady is a wood nearby, yet the rider took wet carpet of fallen leaves perilous after sleet and snow last week. On the contrary, dry and dusty field surface changed into soft sand — the most suitable for their legs. Now finished trimming your white coat, she would go home to get on a scale.
This must have been the 2nd day of 2023 for Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan to visit “Arles”. However, it is really the 1st since Shin gently asked that pâtisserie to deliver a “galette des rois” for his wife last month. He flew toward Hong Kong this morning, therefore could not share a tea table tonight. All right, she would try colorful macarons who keep the best until he comes back.
Yes, Mei-Shun put one on Shin’s desk while he was having a morning bath. It is from a shop in Tokyo as usual, gave her a nice experience this year. She ordered it to arrive with regular parcels, yet a delivery business mistakenly brought the box to another place. It made her contact a lady in charge, who helped well until a white package filled with good sweets reached worried hands. Thanks a million, Ms. I.
