So we are at the end of solar January today. Since on Friday, Mei-Shun feels like it still continues toward weekend, with 節分=setsu-bun on Sunday. Among 4 of it before each beginning of seasonal 二十四節気 including 立春, 立夏, 立秋 and 立冬, the first one on rare February 2nd is the most known because it almost means lunar new year. Oh, how beautiful a 3rd crescent is, floating massive above dark horsey field!
… Mei-Shun means not on a scale but a locker at her 2nd horsey riding club. She normally prefers even figures; 2, 6, 8, 22 while has odd 1, 5, 13, 19 as birthdays of her family members. And the latter represent upper shelves here, quite convenient to store valuables, bags and clothes. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, “1” sounds like “the best” or “top” always difficult to achieve for her mom.
Lunar 2025 starts from today. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine for the first time on solar calendar, after driving Shin toward a station. It was around 6 : 30 yet a ceremony had already been set in the main building. Now what fortune would Gods give via omikuji lots? 吉=kichi, lucky with No. 34 and 16. The latter is all the same as the one he brought home 4 weeks before.
Here Princess Cymby opened as many as 8 flowers. Since she loosened 3 buds on Saturday, round shapes changed into stars one after another. Mei-Shun actually felt a bit sorry for gorgeous roses from Shin as they wither day by day — she has pulled some out of a vase, hung them outdoors to dry. However, it has become clear to her that a message from a queen bouquet reached a young lady.
Above is a friend of my breed dad saw in Madeira Island. I and mom do not know what his business is, while imagine it might be related to a wine produced there. He ordered 2 bottles of it for mom the other day, in a good combination with her birthday cake Galette des Roi. Hmm, he/she looks like that pie whose fève was finally found in the last piece this year.

Today is lunar wedding anniversary of dad and mom, yet his coming back home will be tomorrow. I therefore decided to wait for him to join us, asked Princess Cymby to give 3 flowers open, representing each of our family members. Mr. MATSURI, thanks a lot for dancing with us. Mr. Charade, you resemble lovely Mr. Tea Time. Both of these dark-bay guys have famous fathers.

So Christmas Eve has come again on lunar calendar, lead by that celestial beauty. She shines in early morning these days, seems to watch gently over Mei-Shun. The latter saw nice numbers on a scale after dancing with Mr. Marumorita last evening: a few bags of sugar, alcohol and new-year feasts have gone. Now she would prepare for a petite party on Saturday when Shin returns from Kyoto.
Here Princess Cymby would arrive. Mei-Shun’s orchid ladies including this Highness and Mademoiselle Vert kindly bloom on happy anniversaries; Children’s Day, Christmas Eve/Day, her birthday, etc. That is because you bring Mikan-chan within each flower — is mom right, honey? Since coming 23rd and 24th mean above 2nds on lunar calendar, bright yellow in her eyes would return.
… lessons Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun should have taken, yet gave them up. Slight rain from late last night gently moisturized our garden, while continued for too long a time to let them get on Ms. Scarlet. They therefore stayed home, sang “L’harmonie des Anges” composed by Master Burgmüller with Ms. Piano. Oh, such an opportunity taught her a little mistake in 2 serial notes.
Mei-Shun received a frozen one from sister-in-law via mom the same last year, to celebrate new year. Since Shin does not so much like it, the wife decided to dine on it during his business trip to Portugal. Hmm, tastes quite good while gives joy of scraping out whole meats from leg shells. By the way, why a shelf within her refrigerator Ms. Cuby has a puddle?
