How long does it take for Mei-Shun to resume practicing 恋の手習=koi-no-tenarai, the most important part of 京鹿子娘道成寺? Three years, Master Mei-Shu. You kindly tried to teach it to your last 名取 who wished to gain certificate of 師範. However, it was too hard for your body to do it in person, forced you instead to find a DVD performed by another member of 菊ノ上会.
There we see prompt buds of Momo-chan.
It is like, weather of spring is said. Well, we have 啓蟄=kei-chitsu, 3rd of spring 二十四節気 today. It continued to rain from midnight, stopped for a while and started again: changed every one hour. Such busy turns often appear on your green, round two jewels, Mikan-chan. You look all right, as Mei-Shun does this morning in the mirror. Shall we stay indoors, away from storm outdoors?
Meow, it was too late. Mom did not feel good enough to walk to the nearest shrine in the morning. Neither did I, and rain followed soon. Since it locked us into home, she chose a photo of lovely yellow flowers below, taken the other day during her exercise above. So we are on a stage, yet still behind a curtain. Mom, it seems your condition affects mine. Please take care of yourself for our better performance together.

This is for girls, maybe set to be the counterpart of Children’s Day celebrated mainly for boys on May 5th. Both of them are days of sweets as well, since hina-arare, rice puffs coated with frosty sugar are served on the former while kashiwa-mochi, rice cakes wrapping red bean-paste balls on the latter. For Shin and Mei-Shun, lovely frog faces joined — souvenir from Nagoya.
Oh, you are so cynical to say “d.e.b.” toward Mei-Shun twice. She might be still a bit, yet please do not disturb her studying English to widen her vocabulary more, continued for decades. Now rainfall seems like to prevent her from dancing with Ms. Sagittarius, Princess Maria and Mr. Tea Time today. She has to tighten appetite, greatly helped by strawberries picked on weekend.
Yes, it is such a season. Mei-Shun means that there are a lot of 凶=kyo, the worst luck in the omikuji box at the nearest shrine. That might be because the priest would like to make more visitors happier in January: if they draw bad lots on New Year Day, and shrine maidens have to hand gloomy pieces of paper to them, following year would seem lugubrious for both of them.
Purr, it does not only express me on mom’s legs but rice cakes she is into these days. Dad bought them in Kyoto last year-end, too much to consume within new-year holidays. She wraps up frozen one by two pieces of fried tofu, ready to make お稲荷さん=o-inari-san or a rice ball in a tofu bag, before steaming it. Be careful not to make the same shape on your belly.

… have passed since Mei-Shun had that operation. She has always been grateful to healthy days so far; praising, holding and taking care of Mikan-chan, playing Ms. Piano, dancing kabuki dance while with horsey. And she would from now on of course. It seems not necessary to increase the number of what she finds happy. The more her passion is poured, the bigger pleasure they give.
Hi, I’m Silk Traveler.
Happy to sniff U.
Our “backyard” plum trees are in 80% blossom right now. It is interesting for Mei-Shun that their shade all depends. Many of the strongest pink are seen in classical gardens, while weeping ones tend to put on pale tones. Above one is not in tears, whose petals have a pinch of violet. Oops, it has just started raining. Please do not make sudden resonance with this context.
We had 春一番=haru-ichiban, the first southern wind blows between 立春 and 春分 on Saturday (Cat Day as well). So it is warm enough this morning, seems nice to go to the club. However, hay disease prevented Shin and Mei-Shun from doing so — the former is a serious patient. Another reason was a phone call from Ms. I informing that Mr. Silk Traveler, the latter reserved, changed his job into the first horsey for new comers only.
Isn’t it too soon, dandelion?
