Meow, leap years see this date. 2024 accommodates 辰=dragon, the biggest animal among 十二支=12 Chinese zodiac signs, expecting middle-sized 申=monkey in 2028. The latest and smallest 子=mouse therefore came in 2020. By the way, mom enjoyed trotting with Mr. Danone Caesar accompanied by me in the morning. His breed 午 is also included, when her elder sister Y was born.

Mei-Shun loves to cook beans. Here are her favorite 花豆=hana-mame, runner beans came from 草津 via mom. They met during New Year holidays when the latter gave her younger daughter various, dried while gorgeous agricultural products. Now one of the most important points to make it a delicacy is to soak enough, until each bean returns to volume in pods.
Good morning, Ms. 立待月. Yes, she still stays at 5 : 00; let us see her again as 居待月 tonight. It is actually the 2nd time for Mei-Shun to greet her: 1st was when she drove Ms. Scarlet at 22 : 00 yesterday to pick Shin up. Since the husband would make a business trip to U.S.A. from tomorrow, the wife is busy to pack his suitcase. It is fine for him as well, to get rid of cedar pollen.
2024 has made our “backyard” 梅=ume, plum blossom the best so far. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoy this rare tree with a chimerical branch full of pink flowers among all white. It is also nice to watch it from his study, never need to visit any parks, temples, shrines or mountains accommodating 梅 in these 2 colors. By the way, the cutest angle for above is served by — restroom window!
Happy birthday, His Majesty. Mei-Shun celebrated hers on lunar calendar yesterday, calling meow-meow-meow with Mikan-chan. On the other paw, please let them say thanks a trillion to you kindest 515 followers. Such a nice number would find them making more efforts to invite other 7 guests on displays toward 22. Do you agree, snowy sky, with them?
Professor M kindly gave Mei-Shun a box of local sweets. They were served for her tea time with Shin after 22 : 22. It is really nice to be adult, isn’t it? The husband ranks tart balls in the 2nd line from the right on the top, while the wife walnut ones from the left. Pistachio marzipans and square pies followed them respectively. And pine nuts are the same 3rd.
Mei-Shun met her only niece M-chan last weekend. Time flied at least for the aunt, who felt really happy to see this girl — oops, a woman, since she has already celebrated her coming of age. By the way, the former found something weird walking outdoors. It first looked like an android featured in Sci-Fi films. However, the latter caught it again at a graduation exhibition by the faculty of arts.
I, dad and mom visited “Arles” together yesterday, purr. It is always mom who chooses 3 cakes for us respectively. We dropped in a sushi shop, came home to enjoy a table full of holiday delicacies. She opened a bag of Japanese tea; served not in green but brown, best before November 19th, 2023 while stored for at least one year and a half, as advised by a friendly shop clerk.

Mei-Shun had looked after a gorgeous bouquet of roses from Shin, hanging them to dry for a whole month. They were finally put indoors and bound again. Fallen petals found an oval box which accommodated cakes shaped like the same flower. Oh, cute baby in silver coat kindly helps mom to pick them up from verandah floor: her claw cover follows human fingers.
This would have been the 1st day of 2024 for me and mom to visit “Arles“, purr. However, southerly gale prevented us from getting on Ms. Scarlet in the afternoon: safety is superior to sweets. May we therefore replace today’s title by above image? Yes, she enjoyed short walking to a nearby hair salon in high-heeled boots. Her beautician asked if she lost weight a little.
