Mei-Shun has seen since she first performed on a stage. Called 梅の栄=Ume no Sakae, prosperity of plum, it was one of pieces for 名取 examination in 菊ノ上流 party. The other was 松の緑=Matsu no Midori, green of pine tree. The former was for women while the latter men. These two were changed into 京鹿子娘道成寺 only by Master Hanakawa, who instructed Master Mei-Shu.

So they have safely passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital. Each day to date has been precious, even when she felt sad or stressful. Now with 令和=Reiwa Era starts from the 1st of next month, she wishes to walk forward loving every step. The former kanji letter meant in ancient times “message from millions of Gods” represented by the sun and the moon who always protect all of us.
One of cherry trees planted in the garden of the nearest shrine has a long arm, almost touching the ground. Such shape is often seen at river banks, let people on boats enjoy direct communication with those pale-pink petals. Thanks to cool weather of this weekend, they are still in 70% bloom at maximum around here. It would be the best for young children to make debut at school soon.
Ms. Manifest, thank a million for helping Mei-Shun gallop in a wider field. She currently designates your friend ladies Last One and Sagittarius; the former for trot and walk, the latter gallop. On the other hand, she keeps several lessons open to enjoy communication with other boys and girls including you, among most expensive horseies. And Mr. Tea Time, you are just perfect being ever-lovely.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited one of their favorite soba restaurant for lunch. Yes, he is going for a business trip on weekend, made today off to stay with her. After a nice meal, they drove to a site where beautiful cherry trees are accommodated; violet pink, weeping one in similar shade, pale pink 染井吉野, etc. The last is almost full bloom in Tokyo, yet still in buds around here.
Fried soba is among normal tempra.
Oh, Mikan-chan, please stay asleep on the sofa when mom plays “Lieder Ohne Worte” Op.53.No.2, composed by Master Mendelssohn. It is one of her favorite pieces, sounds nice and serves good for finger stretching. Or if she practice more to gain a flowing tune, would you listen quietly like Momo-chan, Princess Peach in our garden does? She bloomed from 10% to 60% in a few days.
Shin and Mei-Shun enjoyed lunch at 大志満 in 高輪 area. It was cloudy around noon, a little sad cherry blossom looked in 30%. However, every dish was full of pink shade starting from following bowl of squid and 麩=fu, wheat-gluten cake with tofu-sauce topped. A twig of flowering cherry was attached to sashimi plate. Dessert included sakura-flavored bean jelly.
Thank you so much, Professor S. Mei-Shun received a lovely orchid from that intelligent, yet soft-touch lady on Saturday. It was almost the same day when she kindly came to see the ex-inpatient at hospital 4 years before with a bouquet of colorful sweet peas. And it was also the brilliant timing when Ms. Yellow Card woke up from one-year nap to bloom again.
Meow-meow, 12 months all have my day. February is the most famous among fanciers of my species, while mom takes it special every month. However, she went out to see horsey from 9 : 00. I am so much a good girl, started relaxation time on the roof floor. Dad stayed waiting for a parcel, departed soon to let me alone. It is warm today, gave me a comfortable nap until mom returned before sunset. Purrr …

Mei-Shun visited a beauty salon for a hair-dye in the morning. Shin is at a barber right now for a haircut. They never share a shop for hair-dressing, seems to be normal in our country; many women go to the wife’s favorite, men do the husband’s. As 春分 or vernal equinox today, we might be separated equivalently into day and night. By the way, her reason for not going with him is skin trouble with razor.
