The former is getting earlier, the latter later these days. When Mei-Shun gets up at 5 : 00, it is still all dark and freezing. However, warm living room thanks to Mr. Blue and Mikan-chan give mom enough energy to clean and feed her fluffy baby before preparing bath and breakfast for Shin. Oh, an hour flew to let her find a brilliant half moon and Venus in pale pink sky.
Cedar pollen has already begun to make Shin’s nose run from around new year. He prefers ventilation and exercise rather than shutting doors and windows to avoid the source. Mei-Shun was too busy today to walk to the nearest shrine, asked him to draw 2 omikuji lots. Oh, no, one she chose shows 凶=kyo, the worst luck while the other 末吉=sue-kichi, the least lucky.
Our day calling meow-meow-meow has come. Mom looks happy as always, takes care of me as usual. It is Tuesday when you visit Master Bando in kimono, isn’t it? Ah, she would take the 3rd shot of vaccine against that novel coronavirus today. That’s why you had to go out windy yesterday morning, I see. Shall we take a nap together on the sofa? Purr … purrr …

Well, Mei-Shun does not mean that lovely horsey boy. It is as for above dried green leaves who give us warm, refreshing drink. When she visited her favorite tea shop, pretty bags full of cherry flowers bloomed on a counter. Hi, great to see you. Your comment “we are here to wait for spring” would be shared by many including Shin, mom-in-law and herself.
Good evening, 十六夜=izayoi moon. Mei-Shun sang with Ms. Piano your scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven, thanking to slight snow/rainfalls the other day for watering garden plants. By the way, she received a food box delivered every Friday just a few hours before. Young green bananas greeted her, hung above a boiling kettle to turn yellow immediately.
Meow, it is quite windy today. Mom canceled a reservation at her horsey riding club, changed it into tomorrow. Freezing outdoors, warm indoors thanks to Mr. Blue before dawn and after dusk, sunlight during daytime. I feel dry in throat, drink a lot of water. That works as treatment on my muffler, while mom started to use a new bottle she purchased at a hair salon.

Shin went on a business trip to Nagoya, had to catch a train departs around 6 : 00. Mei-Shun drove him to the nearest station, found a big gold medal over railways. Yes, we would see the 2nd full moon of 2022 tomorrow with 大安=tai-an. Even if a 仏滅 today, it helps us to enjoy anything, anytime. Oh, Mikan-chan, do you agree with mom? How cute you are on a cushion!
Mei-Shun finally ate up above bag of 金平糖=konpeito, sugar plums or confeito in Portuguese. It was brought home by Shin from Nagasaki months before, while too cute to go at once into mouth of his wife. She put it on a dining table to let her eyes pleased, waited until they say thanks and enough. Shaped like a little hydrangea; violet stars are grape, blue cider, green melon.
Here we are on Chocolate Day — or precisely, St. Valentine’s Day. Mei-Shun gave Shin once-an-year delicacies of course, from one of his/her favorite makers. She also ordered various products including tiny trial bags of orange peels coated with dark chocolate, found them amazingly delicious. And Professor M would kindly visit her tonight for his regular chocolate liqueurs.
It snowed till late at night, changed into rainfall this morning. Mei-Shun enjoyed playing on Ms. Piano “Clair de Lune” by Master Debussy, looking forward to seeing a white 建国記念の日=National Foundation Day. Here we truly are, yet Shin has made a business appointment in Chiba Prefecture. They therefore went out with a small broom to wake Mr. Diamond up, descended from beloved father of the wife.
