Mei-Shun’s first-tailored 下駄 finally made a debut last night. It was clear with bright moonlight, let her put them on walking to a nearby community center. She gave a lesson in kabuki dance to Professor M there, while had her own practice to make smooth steps on these pair of wooden sandals. When she came back home to put them off, her white 足袋=tabi, kimono socks were found … contaminated.
Pardon Me
StandardPurr, so you and I are protected by a lady on your ring finger, mom. She is wary enough to detect our wrongdoings, admonishes us if we are too lethargic. That what the omikuji lot you drew yesterday might mean. It is 大吉=dai-kichi, the luckiest saying “those who see this lot would have the sun in their hands”. And that is why you noticed without delay what I’ve done on your blanket last night!

New Bed
Standard… and food for you, baby butterflies. Mei-Shun felt sorry when she found 2 of 5 disappeared from their previous places — her grapefruit pots. They were not lucky enough, born on smaller trees. Now all three survivors live on the biggest, yet soon starve or caught by birds. You had better move to a kumquat tree in the garden, she would help you.
You are the cleverest.
Out of Blue
StandardOh, Mei-Shun was really, really surprised. Shin gave her a brilliant ring. He reserved a nice hotel in 遠刈田温泉 to celebrate an anniversary for the couple soon, meant to hand it to his wife there. However, maybe because she looked shocked missing the cute diamond on her marriage ring, he moved up his schedule. She immediately decided to call it 眼差しの貴婦人, meaning a lady of impressive eye.
Too Late
StandardMei-Shun’s application for Spanish test was. It seems she lost all scenarios, had no reply from the secretariat so far. Anyway, it is she who made a mistake. She resumed listening to the radio program from Monday, in preparation for the next chance. Since it is re-broadcasting of April-September 2018, textbooks are already in her hands. Let her enjoy 15-minute hearing, followed by writing practice every weekday.
Baby, would you agree with your tail on one shoulder?
Best of 2019
StandardIn the fruits field follows below. Her name is “Pizzuttelo Bianco”, from “pizzuto” in Italian meaning “pointed”. That really makes sense: she is also called “Lady’s Finger”. For Mei-Shun, it tastes lighter than “Shining Muscat”, made a debut a few years before to become quite popular these days. Both of them were included in big 4 boxes of gifts for Shin.
Last Twins
StandardThank you so much, Mademoiselle Vert, for still staying beside Mei-Shun in lovely two. She might have to say good-bye soon, yet won’t miss you. Please let her share efforts to see your sisters next year. And now, dear Tea-kun, you are ready for today’s last lesson. A star in forehead makes you more handsome, looking like a prince. Shall we dance, in gallop soon?
3rd Crescent
StandardLunar September started from Sunday. Clear sky would therefore mean beautiful moonlight tonight, which Mei-Shun loves the most not because of its slim shape. She walked to the nearest shrine to greet Gods in the morning, drew omikuji lots for herself and Shin. The former was 末吉, a little lucky while the latter 吉, lucky. She knows the reason: they say she should have come earlier.
Butterfly Babies
StandardHi, welcome back to Mei-Shun’s grapefruits. What kind of wings would you have? Summer still stays around here, pressed by a new-born typhoon. Sorry for missing the best timing to water your beds — she felt too exhausted under such a grilling sunlight. One of you are very clever to hide within a rolled leave, while another has already changed clothes.
Piano Or …
StandardSpanish, which does Mei-Shun take in 2019? She was so careless that forgot the deadline to apply for the test: today. She rushed to a post office to send a letter toward the secretariat, asking for necessary forms to fill in. What would happen hereafter? They might give her the document in, or out of time. They may return her letter because of pressed schedule. Her odds are 5-2-3.
Baby leaf and 4 ladies, what’s yr idea?
