Meow March

Standard

So this is the last day of current, flowery month on solar calendar. It was early spring deluged by hospitals and clinics for mom. Two of the former served as places of health check, including one of the latter for dental care. However, all free from any burden both in body and mind today, she walked to a nearby hair salon to enjoy a cup of tea in a tiny cherry tree. Purr … purrr …

Helmet Highness

Standard

Mei-Shun visited her horsey riding club. She reserved 3 classes to dance with Ms. Pachira, trot with Mr. Honoris (found a grandson of Deep Impact) and trek on Princess Maria. Under a little cloudy sky, she was really satisfied with such a beautiful environment full of light-pink snow of cherry petals. After coming home, the best numbers welcomed her on a scale.

Cute Curer

Standard

Oh, thanks a million, Shin. He took a business trip to Sendai bringing home nice souvenirs. Mei-Shun is not so interested in ずんだ餅=zunda-mochi, rice cake dipped in sweetened and mashed green soybeans, while quite likes this one. The biggest reason for that is its shape of the box of course — it comes from a famous game software. Slime characters make her heart warm.

After 7Ys + 52Wks

Standard

8 years have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital after an operation by Dr. A. The latter lady gave the former a phone call meaning “Yes” on weekend, while this ex-inpatient went out on Ms. Scarlet to see Dr. M today. Oh, a car park nearby the dental clinic is almost full, perhaps caused by a freezing rainfall. Or her slow drive enjoying cherry blossom mattered.

Great Guys

Standard

Mei-Shun cheered her favorite athletes via TV in kimono on weekend. They are a sumo wrestler and a figure skater respectively, while share their brilliant accomplishments: the former won 13 bouts among 15, the latter his serial, second gold medal in World Championship. She celebrated them with 2 fingers of whisky, followed by hand-made cakes from mom-in-law.

Kimono Piano

Standard

Yes, Ms. Piano is one of the best, “inanimate” friends of Mei-Shun. Why “”, do you kind followers wonder? Well, she often feels something opposite within them. Such impression might resemble 付喪神=tsukumo-kami, deity grown in ancient items. However, above musical instrument lives at her home for less than 2 decades, much shorter compared to kimonos beloved Master Mei-Shu gave her.

Bright Blossom

Standard

Lunar leap February started from yesterday, when Mei-Shun went to her horsey-riding club after around 2 weeks from last time. Several cherry trees have opened 80% of their pink flowers, serve as one of the best backgrounds for riders. And oh, how high the sun stays in the sky! All contrary to rainy today, when she enjoys good job by sunscreen cream and perspiration.

Japanese Culture@holiday

Standard

We have 春分=shunbun, vernal equinox and the 4th of spring 二十四節気 today. Momo-chan, garden princess at Mei-Shun’s home, started to bloom last week. Thanks to warmer-than-usual temperature, she has already put on 80% of her kimono in bright pink. Please do not dance too fast, Your Highness. The later 100% follows, the more it would be appreciated.

Splendid Site

Standard

It is great pleasure of me and mom to say thanks a million to you kind 488 followers, purr. The 1st and kindest Professor M gave us a photo the other day, celebrating a cherry tree in early blossom. His workplace University of Tsukuba accommodates various rows of trees within its wide campus, as an experiment to adorn streets of that Science City.

Scent of Sunlight

Standard

Almost 2 months have passed since Princess Cymby opened her first flower. One night Mei-Shun approached her nose to these ladies, noticed them give gentle aroma like dandelion. She has wondered so far why they have tiny, lovely drops of syrup under petals and stalk crotches — normal for plants to call bees and butterflies aiming pollination. Great to know that you are able to make seeds.
