Here he comes, St. Valentine. It might be one of the sweetest days for Mei-Shun to express her gratitude toward dear gentlemen. Or ladies of course, including her mothers, sisters, friends, etc. She ordered delicious chocolates as usual, while had to stay home through a whole week caused by a cold with a cough. What is the best way to deal with these 2 boxes left behind?
Storm sounds blustering all over our country today; blizzard rages in northern area, violent wind descends toward south. Mei-Shun shuts herself indoors on such a day, giving up any activity outdoors. Now almost all job is over, shall we take a break on fruits, Mikan-chan? Please listen, mom found little kiwis stored in Ms. Cuby instead of pomme de terre.
And we would see the most beautiful 十五夜, meaning 小正月=January 15th on lunar calendar tonight. Called Snow Moon, she appeared low in eastern sky just when Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. The latter wished to take photos, yet the former lady floated above an electric cable — looked like being cut into slices. Please do not, even if she resembles a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Oh my careless mom. She did it on her right hand, touched a pan dried beside a boiling kettle. Would you like me to help, because you are busy as much as craving mine or 猫の手も借りたい? Well, I prefer basking in sunlight. It hurt, then tiny blisters emerged. Pain has immediately gone thanks to balm grandma gave her. One night sleep made it flat with browner shade.

We would see 十三夜=13th moon, the 2nd beautiful next to full tonight. It also means birthday of Mei-Shun on lunar calendar. She therefore prepared a bottle of Madeira wine Shin kindly ordered for her solar day. Actually, the other they opened first had a cork so dry that broke into liquid. “We should have laid them”, he said. However, she coughs too hard to enjoy alcohol.
Please kindly let Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to show their highest appreciation for you gentle 525th follower here, along with 524 distinguished guests of course. Dance activity by the latter shifts from the one in kimono toward the other on horseies these days. Her songs including “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel flow more fluently on Ms. Piano.
Here I am, in 17 paws or baby 巳 heads. This number of Gion Festival 前祭 date should have been included within your favorite list, mom. 24 as well for 後祭 both dad and you prefer. By the way, Mr. Marumorita who nicely danced with us yesterday, would soon become 7 years old. We are seeing him on his birthday 21st, happy to prepare good gifts. Purr … purrr …

Where is the wooden 巳=snake Mei-Shun might purchase at a shop located in Ueno Station a long time ago? 2025 is an year for her mother, must feature that reptile on a dining table to join little cats. Among 十二支 symbols; 子, 丑, 卯, 午, 申, 酉, 犬 and 亥 are from the same artist. 寅 is represented by Mikan-chan while 辰, 未 by tiny stuffed animals.
Mei-Shun enjoys 七草粥 celebrating lunar January 7th tonight. It is quite easy to cook thanks to a freeze-dried package of 7 wild vegetables — she just asked her diligent rice cooker to make porridge, added above ingredient in a serving bowl. 月餅= moon cake from Chinatown in Yokohama would accompany her supper alone, while Shin turned to Nagoya leaving this souvenir.
We have 立春=risshun, the 1st of vernal 二十四節気 today. Still freezing outdoors, many children in our country are taught to sing 早春賦. It means an early spring poetry, with lyrics describing a season only by a name. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed 豆まき=roasted soybean spreading yesterday. Such an event at home would give good meals for birdies.
