Hi, mom

Standard

Mei-Shun visited her parents’ home. Her mother is an earnest birds and plants watcher. When you can not recognize a seedling of a tree, she would take a second to answer the name of it. So as to birds. Another mom in photo below would do the same, yet our capacity is too small to understand her words.

Gi-ya-man

Standard

It means glasses in Japanese, coming from “diamant” in Dutch. He is a lovely boy with a pinch of mischievous flavor. An upside-down v letter appears when we part his mane hair on the forehead. Honey, did you leave another v somewhere in the field? Normal stars are in round or diamond shape, much more you have the very name of the latter.

Weight Management

Standard

Mei-Shun has gained one more sugar bag since she started walking in the morning. Sooo shocking, yet there is always a reason why her tyre around the waist grows. It is simple; she has eaten too much. And she knows well the easiest way to lose weight; she should eat less. Exercise is good for health, while never means she can consume all energy she happily took in.

New Friends

Standard

They have joined into the picture Mei-Shun enjoys in the morning. Green touch increases day by day, makes it straight toward summer. It is so nice to see rice paddies grow to feed many birds, and us finally in autumn.

Swallow Mom

Standard

Welcome back to us! Yes, this is your favorite place to nest — a restroom of a supermarket. We all know it, looked forward to seeing you again. Oh, your round, black eyes of obsidian beads. Sorry to interrupt you, Mei-Shun would stop taking a photo. Please feel safe to continue your sitting on eggs.

Curled Up

Standard

It was really like summer today. I looked for the best place to take a nap, finally stayed in my current bed during daytime. Mom opened windows, nice wind smoothes me down. Purr, I love natural air … oh? Already in the evening? Where’s mom? Ah, she is dozing off on the sofa. I prefer her legs covered with a blanket.

Awful Storm

Standard

Mei-Shun had to cancel today’s lesson for horseback riding — shower, flurry and sunlight come one after another, confusing her so much that she finally stopped making decision. Storm always means a stay-at-home. Even airplanes avoided landing at Haneda Airport this morning, still less do a poor driver.

In Full Green

Standard

Weeks have passed since Mei-Shun visited 乙戸沼 Park last time. Cherry blossom has all gone, gingko babies have grown up, left deep green on branches. It is very nice to walk under these gorgeous parasols. Wind is so cool after surfing on the pond. You would find blue irises greeting while going across a wooden bridge, followed by a lot of grey, big-mouth friends.

Lone Beauty

Standard

Mei-Shun met her on the way back home. She comes out alone from a green hedge, looking for friends who share such a feeling, it seems. She has changed from yesterday — light pink shade replaced yellow of the day before. Now we cannot wait to see her new dress tomorrow, put on after rain.

Stop Air Conditioner

Standard

I prefer natural temperature after winter. I love stoves, but dislike that humming one set high on the wall, hiss. Let’s go up to roof-floor landing where mom brought my beds. Oh, this pink one looks more comfortable — that cushion put within was too high before. She walked out, I wonder? Purr, it’s not bad.
