Lunar May starts from today. Mei-Shun visited a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎 to draw reservation lot, not omikuji at a shrine. What, No. 586 to designate Mr. Danone Caesar next month? Well, it might be in the middle of rainy season, prevented from trotting with him. Now she heads to a supermarket for fresh cream whipped and served with handmade chiffon cake.
3 plus 3 is 6
StandardWe have 芒種=boshu, the 3rd of summer 二十四節気 today. 11th flower of Mademoiselle Vert opened in early morning sunshine, greeted Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan. Are you ready to say お誕生日おめでとう, happy birthday to dad with 12th on the other branch tomorrow? They heard from mom that 3 calyxes and 3 petals make up each of you.
Mild MATSURI
Standard… is his name, purr. I mean our new partner to dance in the field, nearly replaced Mr. Crunchy. Mom’s older spurs, while newly purchased auxiliary rein also help us; thanks to advice from Ms. I, her chief instructor. After such nice perspiration, we returned home on Ms. Scarlet. Now what numbers would she find on a scale? Lost a half bag of sugar and a few? Well done, purr.

Hydrangea Highness
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited 雨引観音 by Ms. Moon on weekend: the wife somehow felt like seeing above flower outside of their own garden. She seems to have been there years before, driving herself with mom-in-law — yet is it the same place? Enormous main building, full of cute babies held by young mothers in kimono, dogs, ducks and peacocks.
Final and Fine
StandardSo we are at the end of solar May. Heavy rainfall from early morning made Mei-Shun sing on Ms. Piano moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven. She and Mikan-chan have an appointment with Mr. Crunchy in the evening, wishing the last dance on him … yes, they did well in a field like rice paddy! And she saw acceptable numbers on a scale after coming home.
Mei-Shun Methods
StandardMeow, please let me inform you kind 517 followers on mom’s secret: she has gained one and a half of sugar bags around waist. Well, May was favorite month for younger her, full of new lives outdoors. However, recent light colors around us including wild cherry trees already come in the middle of April. She would not be able to catch up with such a rapid change, tends to stay indoors in poor condition.

Gentle Green
StandardMei-Shun loves this color; eyes of Mikan-chan, Mademoiselle Vert flowers, Shin’s gift ring from Antwerp,
etc. He kindly sent his wife above image when made a business trip to Kyoto lately. And young leaves in current month, while they seem to appear a few weeks earlier these days. Oh, Momo-chan carries a lot of fruits still tiny, let us expect seedling babies.
Pretty Power
StandardMademoiselle Vert, a messenger of the loveliest Mikan-chan, was found loosening a bud on one wing, another on the other this morning by Mei-Shun. How cute they are; still smaller than 6 elder sisters, looking like green birdie eggs! She put them on verandah floor for natural shower in the morning. Strong wind followed around noon, let them in for a photo session.
Carried Calm
StandardMei-Shun goes to horsey riding clubs on weekdays only. She recently recognized that relaxation is very important for this sport — they are smart enough to know mental condition of people on their backs. If she is tense or scared, muscles would be stiffen to avoid correct communication with that clever animal. Mondays therefore must have at least one lesson to make a week nice.
Neighbor to Next
StandardMeow, mom’s favorite tea shop, 3-minute walk from the nearest station, will be closed soon. More precisely, one of branches whose headquarters is located in Tsuchiura. Another store in Tsukuba came to an end a few years before. On the other paw, supermarkets she goes for daily shopping are in Ami Town. Which places shall we visit to purchase 新茶 in 2025?
