Well, would you appear in such cloudy sky tonight, 仲秋の名月? Missing 十三夜 and 小望月 on weekend, Mei-Shun wished the most beautiful 十五夜. However, Typhoon Halong moves too slowly; born around far-southern Tokyo islands 小笠原, it almost walks on Pacific Ocean toward west. Getting bigger and stronger, it pours a lot of nimbus onto Kanto region.
Heart Hip
StandardMs. Scarlet returned to Mei-Shun last night, let her go out accompanied by Mikan-chan to dance with Mr. Marumorita today. On the other paw of above shiny girl, Ms. Moon departed for repair: all 4 tyres, rear-left wing must be replaced. “Damage was much heavier”, Shin told his wife. Expecting the 2nd most beautiful 十三夜 tomorrow, they wish this brilliance on the ground come home as soon as possible.
Sky Shade
StandardMei-Shun walked 5 minutes toward a hair salon in high heels this morning. She actually went out earlier, found a dense fog covering even traffic lights. Red, yellow and green looked clear while white lines on streets were blurred. Tough sunshine let it all evaporate, left plants washed out. Ms. Spider lily, great to see you again in the same place. Your Honor, cosmos ladies.
Optimistic October
StandardYes, solar one started with a quiet rainfall. Nice watering for garden plants, genuine 雨読 Mei-Shun enjoys at home. She reserved a lot more horsey-riding lessons meaning 晴耕 than long, torrid summer: it arrived as early as the middle of June, continued until yesterday. From now on, good sleep and appetite would require sanguine control in both mind and body.
Months Meet
StandardSo we are at the end of solar September. As Mei-Shun mentioned before, our country seems to experience 5 seasons an year instead of 4 these days. Well, cicadas were heard sing yesterday, while no chorus today. She felt weird between clavicles, much better right now. And hello, baby gecko, welcome to bedroom of Shin and his wife for the first time. Do little ants living on Mademoiselle Vert still feed you?
Best Bout
Standard九月場所 of sumo tournament celebrated 千秋楽, the last matches yesterday. Mom’s favorite rikishi had done very well, purr, won the 2nd place in 十両, the 2nd highest rank. Since it is broadcast from around 14 : 15, she makes it a temporary rule to finish practice on Ms. Piano before noon. Mr. Air Conditioner takes a rest, windows are open with screens. Sorry neighbors, if you noticed her mistakes.

Flat Fate
StandardMei-Shun enjoyed dancing with Mademoiselle Angel accompanied by Mikan-chan, after a whole month it might be. That horsey lady regained shiny white coat, looked gray in midsummer from severe perspiration: cooler air brings much beauty. 5th crescent floats among evening glow, 萩 blooms giving Momo-chan a colorful skirt. By the way, Ms. Moon still puts on healthy tyres in above photo.
Curled Comfort
StandardI and mom enjoyed dancing with Mr. Marumorita, although a little yesterday. Heatstroke alert 2025, prevented us from attending such lessons over and over, was aired on 18th for the last time perhaps — real autumn has come, at least in early mornings and after tea time. With lunar August started on Monday, we wish more days of clear night sky. Purr … purrr …

Summer Soup
StandardWelcome back from Canada, Shin, via Kyoto. He caught a cold, yet seems to have recovered on board thanks to virus-free air. Mei-Shun cooked 冬瓜 gourd, one of this couple’s favorite vegetables. Do you kind 529 followers wander why it has winter in name? Kept fresh until freezing season in storage is the reason. Autumnal 季語 for haiku includes it as well.
Momiji and Maple
StandardHere Shin kindly sent Mei-Shun photos taken in Canada: one of them is a supermarket accommodating a 楓 tree. It resembles Japanese breed planted along a street in Tsukuba. We are still in late summer, see almost no change among leaves there. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, North American temperature is already several degrees Celsius lower than ours.
