Mei-Shun visited a 祇園さん or 八坂神社 shrine branch in Tsuchiura the other day: she purchased a 粽 of 大船鉾 online this year as well, brought back 2025’s one. A sourcebook regarding that artistic float was published; let her learn its history, enjoy manifold photos. For example, ancient 四条町 was divided into 南北 to put 大金幣 and 龍頭 dragon head on the bow.
Mei-Shun got a phone call from a flower shop, on the last day of solar July. It seems the biggest, only in charge of arrangement/bouquet delivery in Tsuchiura City. “We cannot contact Mr. O”, a driver said. She thought something happened to that octogenarian; therefore picked above up, served it for beloved dad-in-law. Her mobile rung in the evening, lively husband of Master Mei-Shu started chatting.
Mei-Shun found a rainbow in eastern sky around 17:00 yesterday. It might be the hottest, while started shedding gentle tears. Solar July 30th saw Master Mei-Shu depart, let her last 名取 send a bouquet to Mr. O every year. Oh, l’arc-en-ciel became doubled! And a pretty egret, messenger birdy, flew toward it. That means you safely received her admiration and affection, doesn’t it?
As long as 8 weeks have passed since Mei-Shun stayed home, instead of getting on Ms. Scarlet toward Tsukuba horsey riding club. Her allergy between clavicles looks quite fine; even if sometimes itchy and red a little, with normal summer perspiration. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, her mom has gained no information from a scale during the same period.
We expected 十五夜, the most gorgeous moon shape last night. Thanks to a rainfall came earlier than forecast, Mei-Shun greeted a 朧月 blurred a bit by thin clouds. She featured scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven before noon, might call both of tearful windows and that celestial beauty. Solar July 2026 had the 2nd brilliant 十三夜 as well, all covered with a hard shower.
Yes, it is a young tree mom-in-law planted in our garden. Mei-Shun heard from younger sister-in-law M that her mother loved one of that fruit in winter, tasted very good. She therefore put some seed into a pot, saw green babies. The eldest had grown enough to bloom last spring, further to bear above. “I pollinated it with a flower my research institution gave me”, she said.
七月場所 sumo tournament saw 千穐楽, the 15th final day last evening. Mei-Shun actually is not so much interested in who received 賜杯 champion trophy – her favorite rikishi and following several guys give joy of bouts watching. If the former fights all through 3 Sundays; with no injury, while wins 勝ち越し meaning 8 or more 白星, she would be quite satisfied.
Mei-Shun walked toward a hair salon in high heels as usual. When she sat at a table to wait a good medicine soak, a nice water painting greeted her. “It is a birthday gift for me”, a beautician manages this shop said. “A professional is my close friend’s father, kindly chose his work and put it in a frame representing image of mine”. That sounds great, lets her customers enjoy it as well.
We could expect 十日夜の月= 10th moon of to-kan-ya tonight, while a rainfall. Mei-Shun wishes both of them, yet it is quite difficult – a celestial beauty among 3 shapes celebrated for a long time, or merciful water from dark sky. The latter also means Momo-chan mother and daughters enjoy shower twice. Now which scores would she choose on Ms. Piano, great masters?
Here Mei-Shun found a pair of slippers consist of Mikan-chan’s breed faces and 畳=tatami mat. Actually, she has long failed in choice of them: design and comfort might not always be compatible. She often attached importance to the former, durable only for a summer. Since towel or straw was required on soles, they suit herself. Reasonable as well, blue ones followed.
