It is a bit confusing for Mei-Shun to expect a full moon tonight, instead of 仲秋の名月 yesterday. Her lunar diary explains that the latter may not always be the 15th from astronomical viewpoint, yet attractive enough in clear autumnal sky called the prettiest. All right, it was therefore 十三夜 or the 2nd best seen on Monday. Professor M, a great photographer kindly taught her.
Broken Ball?
StandardMei-Shun visited her horsey riding club in Tsukuba yesterday, meant to wash a wool saddle belt for Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. White Mocha. However, all laundry machines are out of order — perhaps used too much during scorching summer. By the way, Shin came home late last night from the U.S.A. He sent his wife above image, saying it accompanied him in his pants pocket.

StandardWe celebrate Respect-for-the-Aged Day, set on the 3rd Monday of current month from 2003. It is also Mikan-chan’s birth year, shared by niece M-chan who was born 2 months earlier than fluffy daughter of Shin and Mei-Shun. Cloudy from morning, while a beautiful 小望月 casts a few glances at us from dark sky. She might be a gift attending cooler air below 30 degrees Celsius.
Autumn Arrival
StandardMom ordered a season delicacy the other day, purr. Since moon viewing is quite nice in my birth month, sweets shops are full of those images. She purchased 2 boxes; one for us, the other for Professor M. Although birthday of the latter gentleman is the end of our fiscal year, amazing 5 and a half months have already passed. I wish him to accept her cordial respect.

Tea Travel?
StandardDid Mei-Shun informed you kind 519 followers on her favorite tea shop nearby closed down? Their main branch recently sent her a letter to reserve 蔵出し新茶, stored green tea picked in May. She is happy receiving such an invitation, while they ask her to appear in person. Perhaps they took over client lists from stores out of business, make her wonder if a car park is available.
Cute Cup
StandardMei-Shun walked to a hair salon in high-heeled pumps instead of summer sandals. She recognized both insoles of the latter are torn when put them on. It might be a message from autumn already reached us, even in such sweltering air. Since her mother comes back from 草津 today, she is a bit worried about condition of an octogenarian. Yet oh, a weather forecast says that it would be cooler from Mikan-chan’s birthday.
After 9Ys + 24Wks
StandardWell, it is for today that Mei-Shun practiced to drive Ms. Moon on weekend. The hospital Dr. A works at is quite nearby, taking 15 minutes from home. By the way, one of her favorite bakeries on the way to there was closed: their regular day off is Mondays, while a notice was found on a shutter taken down. All right, she would treat herself to those delicacies next time.
Button Battery
StandardSo Mei-Shun tried on Ms. Moon for the first time, thanks to Ms. Scarlet pulled by a JAF tow truck on Friday. She has never driven a car requires no key — precisely, no hole is equipped yet a censor to catch keys each driver carries. With Shin on passenger seat, the wife completed a round trip to/from a post office. Now is the turn for the husband to purchase title item on foot.
Wired Waggon
StandardI and mom visited a horsey riding club in Tsukuba, for the first and last time this week. Mr. MATSURI kindly danced with us, followed by Mr. White Mocha. Summer came back from yesterday, gave her perspiration like a little waterfall. Feeling quite refreshed, we headed toward home. However, something suddenly occurred within Ms. Scarlet: she told us that it is too slippery to go ahead on the road.

Sun and Moon
StandardMei-Shun used no air conditioner yesterday: only fans worked even after a bath. Such fine condition and sunset a few minutes after 18 : 00 let her feel that autumn has truly come. Looking back weeks recently passed, we scarcely saw any light in the sky caused by typhoons. On the contrary, sunny today forced her to grab a remote before 10 : 00. Could we see a 3rd crescent in the evening?
