Happy Halloween

Standard

So this is the end of 神無月 on solar calendar. Many revelers might gather at Shibuya scramble crossing, while Mei-Shun read that such young people in unique costume are severely restricted this year. On the other hand, she heard American children prefer treat to trick. Well, they do not need to mind weight: it is business of parents to take care of their body including teeth.

Brilliant Beauty

Standard

Ms. Piano, thanks a million for your singing moonlight scores with Mei-Shun rainy yesterday, to call Travel Moon at night. And oh, it worked nicely — she appeared above a gingko tree in our backyard. By the way, which planet accompanies her on left shoulder? Jupiter does, Professor M clearly replied. His photos of that celestial splendor is the best on Mother Earth.

Beau et Belle

Standard

Just one week has passed since Shin and Mei-Shun celebrated one of their anniversaries. The wife found roses in the bouquet looking a bit tired, pull them out to dry. Lovely mesdemoiselles, colored in light orange or Mikan-chan, please stand by above couple as long as possible. Oh, 十三夜 moon appears in eastern sky. Her shade resembles yours with sunset reflection.

Still Shining

Standard

Shin, Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan got up at 4 : 00 this morning. Night stars were brilliant in dark sky, waiting for sunrise a few minutes before 6 : 00 to fade out. The husband had to arrive at Haneda Airport to board the 1st plane for Hiroshima. On the other hand, the wife and her fluffy daughter at usual horsey riding club in the afternoon. It is quite hotter than yesterday, isn’t it?

Vital Violet

Standard

Meow, mom’s mom stays in 草津 right now. It might be her last visit in 2023. She took photos of pretty gentian or autumn bellflower, blooming in her garden there. I would say thanks a million to you, grandma, in behalf of your younger daughter. This shade was loved by grandpa as well, while his earlier favorite balloonflower. By the way, the best ribbon for me to put on is purple.

Frost Fall

Standard

And 霜降=soko, the 6th of autumnal 二十四節気 we have today. Mei-Shun enjoyed driving toward another horsey riding club in Ibaraki Prefecture yesterday — trees lining streets in Tsukuba started to change green clothes. Hello Mr. 翼=wings, great to see you for her first lesson here to dance. This chestnut Pegasus also taught her enormous assistance by Mr. Sirius.

Celebrate Chrysanthemum

Standard

We have 重陽の節句, lunar September 9th today. It is the last of 五節句=5 days of odd numbers on this calendar following; January 7th=七草, March 3rd=桃, May 5th=端午 and July 7th=七夕. January 1st was too special to be included. It anyway reminds Mei-Shun of beloved Master Mei-Shu, who kindly gave her last 名取 many kimonos, obi sashes and coats.

Pretty Parents

Standard

… mean that couple gave birth to Mikan-chan 20 years before. Shin and Mei-Shun, human pair who adopted her, are happy to reach 30th among their anniversaries today. Above bouquet seemed the same as last year, yet the wife recognized something different. When she compared it with photos, it became clear: percentage of green and white in tiny chrysanthemums.

Hello, Horsey

Standard

Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet accompanied by Mikan-chan at 10 : 15. “It is rare to see you in the morning”, a receptionist of the club said. Well, half an year might have passed since she finally followed such a schedule. Spring brings ultraviolet rays so strong in daytime that she was forced to flee from outdoor sports. And summer removes sunscreen cream even after 16 : 00.

Fluffy Friend

Standard

The 3rd crescent Mei-Shun met last evening was perfect. If truth be told, she would prefer it to a full moon. The latter has monthly names with phenomena including eclipse, while the former only numbers — oh, as for digits, please let her cordially welcome new 3 guests at this site. It is also highly appreciated by Mikan-chan, who promises further efforts to serve you.
