Second Snow

Standard

We saw above on Friday instead of a rainfall from early this morning. It forced Mei-Shun to cancel horsey-riding lessons, stay indoors all day long. Such a cold, strong wind never lets her feel happy to drive Ms. Scarlet even toward the nearest station. What only makes it is a lovely bird. Are you kind 486 followers able to find her/him in a camellia tree?

Kimono Kitchen

Standard

Here comes a nice Friday to Mei-Shun who vacuumed rooms before hanging a silk one with an obi sash from Master Mei-Shu and obi-shime, a decorative string to hold it from Shin. Weekly schedule of the wife of the latter decided to include kabuki dance practice at home. Ms. Piano has to be played with long sleeves put in 襷掛け=tasuki-kake, cross binding by a 腰紐=koshi-himo cord.

Cute Cherry

Standard

Here is the first flavor of spring in 2023 for Mei-Shun, a sakura lover. She can never stop purchasing such pink sweets sometimes combined with green tea. Makers might let them represent vernal views in our country: that five-petal flower in full blossom accompanied by young buds and leaves. One bag was allowed onto her table tonight after seeing better numbers on a scale.

Pretty Pads

Standard

Purr, I opened 25 flowers of Princess Cymby so far. Mom likes 13, 22 and this number because it sounds like ni-ko, meaning smile in her mother tongue. She recently found that many of my green brothers turn to similar color to me with every kiss of mine. Yes, we share limited power within a throne. Thanks and sorry, I still have 4 buds to touch all 29 paws.

Somehow Sakura

Standard

Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine after at least a whole month. It seems better for her to do such light exercise even on a day following horsey riding. When she climbed up stairs leading to the rear gate, a cherry tree caught her eyes — looking pink with no flowers or buds on branches yet. Your preparation to bloom is already on the way, isn’t it? Now a box of omikuji lots is there, to be drawn by herself.

Moon Mystery

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M, who is always the best in taking photos like above. Expecting this celestial body in full shape tonight, Mei-Shun visited the club to dance with Mr. Great Fighter again. Another partner of trot was Ms. Madoka, never changed in slender figure. One of your moms has got slimmer, yet saw a pinch of sugar on a scale after coming home.

Spring Soon

Standard

We have 節分=setsu-bun, on the border of winter today before 立春=risshun, the 1st of  vernal and all 二十四節気 tomorrow. It is also lunar birthday of Mei-Shun who visited the nearest shrine to greet Gods. Oh, omikuji lots would still be handed by a priest, who was not at a reception desk. He might be preparing to hold a ceremony in the main building, with candles lit and chairs arranged.

Beautiful Baby

Standard

Hi, Mr. Danone Caesar, great to see you again. Mei-Shun designated you, Mr. Applause, Mr. Treasure and Ms. Madoka this month. Do you wonder why? Because she would like to choose friendly partners toward canter dance, brushing up her technique. Please keep a good boy as today, darling. Look, she won the best lottery so far to reserve favorite lessons in March.

Pink Piggy?

Standard

Thanks a million, sweet Mikan-chan. Yes, we are on the 1st of solar February today following yesterday of course. Mei-Shun cleaned up a dining table featuring seasonal celebrations including 干支=12 symbols of the year. Since 2023 is 卯年 to take care of rabbits, please find above her collection from “Arles“, the Netherlands via Shin and the same made in Fukushima.
