Tiny Train

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun went to Tokyo by Ms. Scarlet to meet Kaori-san, whose exhibition had been held in Tokyo till weekend. This time she drew for a cat fancier/story writer who serves a gallery on the ground floor of her own house. Well, it is often difficult to find the best car park around such an old residential area — oh, here is one just next to a railroad crossing.

Good Girl

Standard

Meow, we are on the 4th, 2022 of my days come once a month. Mom plans to visit a gallery in Tokyo where an exhibition is held featuring our species by her friend Kaori-san tomorrow, meeting dad on the way. Please go ahead, there would be no problem. It is getting warmer to take better care of me. You stay with me all day today, letting both of us feel bliss. Purr … purrr …

Snowy & Shiny

Standard

Princess Maria, great to see and dance with you again. It took as long as 3 weeks for Mei-Shun to recover from her horribly red right eye. Pink cherry blossoms around the field have all gone, left just one tree of wilder breed full of white flowers. It assembles you, honey, whose scar above left eyelid has been cured to be covered up brilliantly by your summer coat.

Glorious Greeting

Standard

We have 穀雨=koku-u, the 6th and last of spring 二十四節気 today. Some of rice paddies around here in Ibaraki are already watered, perhaps waiting for neat lines of young green soon. Mei-Shun would like to walk along such a sight toward the nearest shrine, yet it seems a bit too cold to enjoy it. So Mademoiselle Vert, could you show your youngest sister instead?

Mom’s Memory

Standard

Rainy days give Mei-Shun good chances to make a long phone call with mother. Her younger daughter serves photos of Momo-chan every year, that makes her delighted to see such beauty getting more and more splendid. This princess is the 4th generation, descended from her grandmother. “She kindly peeled its fruits for me,” always the same comment which has never come true here.

Nice Numbers: 2

Standard

Thanks a million from Mei-Shun to you kind 464 followers. She found it on weekend, felt like you are saying yo-ro-shi-ku or “take care of us hereafter”. Although lacking 9 at last to read “ku” in our language, she would expect the next with 10 new guests rather than 10 times. Now we seem to enter a bit delayed rainy weeks in spring called 菜種梅雨=natane-tsuyu.

Precious Paws

Standard

Ms. Piano, you and Mikan-chan are always good mentors for Mei-Shun. For example, she has stopped sung with the former one of scores in “Lieder Ohne Worte” composed by Master Mendelssohn for a few years, resumed it yesterday. Awful sounds disappointed her, while reminded of a saying “practice makes perfect”. Yes, she would be happy to follow your treasured advice.

Novel to Normal

Standard

Mei-Shun went to a research institute with mom-in-law today, to get the 3rd vaccination against that coronavirus still “new” following 4 kinds already found among us human beings. Gods of rain kindly stopped falling when they got on Ms. Scarlet. It was the first time they entered the site. Beautiful trees in light green, white and pink welcomed them under gray sky. It might be why they saw no crowd.

Alone Again

Standard

Meow, mom practices 松の緑 at home these days. I feel happier when she stays with me longer, while a bit tired if she gives too much attention. It is to take the best care of yourself that is the most important: your mental/physical health is the same to mine. So please do not hesitate to dance, play Ms. Piano, take a nap in your bedroom or sometimes go out.

Cute Chocolates

Standard

Mei-Shun got her right eye all red in half like a strawberry. It is a kind of injury called subconjunctival hemorrhage. Looking recovered 90%, still a bit weird with yellowish shadow in white part. That is why she canceled an appointment with Princess Maria yesterday, while with another on Thursday. No sweets with no exercise, yet she found nostalgic, bigger ones.
