水無月=minazuki, meaning current month, calls one of Shin and Mei-Shun’s favorite sweets. Kyoto people enjoy it on June 30th to celebrate safe half an year. Above couple, earnest buff of our ancient capital, followed this custom for a decade. However, the husband brought home the other day a lot of souvenir from 能登 — suffering from a serious earthquake on New Year’s Day.
Short Stay?
StandardThanks a million, Professor M. It seems to Mei-Shun that he is the best photographer for the moon. Above is 小望月 many of us might see at midnight last Friday, whose image he kindly sent to her. Their reunion with Prof. A added would be held next month, after the former return from abroad on business. Will belated rainy season wait the beginning of July, when 七夕 festival is accommodated?
Curled and Cute
StandardWe have 夏至=geshi, the 4th of summer 二十四節気 today. Rainy season also started, delayed amazing 2 weeks compared to normal. That might be why we rarely recognize the longest daytime of the year. Heavy rainfall continued until evening, when Mei-Shun had reserved a lesson with Mr. Mickey Love Song. On the other paw, a clear 小望月 was seen around midnight as she went to bed.
Funny Fungi
StandardThey always comes between Mei-Shun’s teeth including space to accommodate artificial Ame-chans; simmered enoki mushroom flavored by soy sauce, fried bean sprout with tonkatsu sauce, are meant. Shin fairly loves them, who force his wife to use brush and dental floss afterward. Darling, didn’t Mr. Danone Caesar see anything in mom’s mouth this morning, did he?
Tiny Throne
StandardMademoiselle Vert, my wings finally spread in full just a week before. “She is more beautiful than ever”, says mom making dad and herself take delight. Light green flowers brightened by yellow reminds them of my eyes, purr. Almost the same in size, 9 on each branch. Yes, her excellent figure represents power to grow. Evolution could have occurred in a little pot.

Sweet Silk
StandardMei-Shun is fairly fond of 合歓木. They normally bloom in rainy season, quite delayed this year. On the other hand, plants look like knowing how to survive much more than we do. With no drop from sky, humidity and temperature might let them open flowers to gain seeds. Such wisdom allows her to see pretty pink, enjoy photo session after dancing a bit on a horsey guy.
Fascinating Flight
StandardThanks a million, Shin. He returned home on weekend to give Mei-Shun a box of caramels made in Switzerland — his latest destination for business was Vietnam. The latter seems to love durian; that thorny fruit as big as watermelon, whose tastiness is shared by above husband. However, the wife hesitates even to open a package of local sweets containing it.
Halcyon Half
StandardOh, a beautiful moon floats above Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, who enjoyed horsey riding today as well. Shin stays in Vietnam from Wednesday, let his wife play outdoors until dark. Mademoiselle Angel kindly joined for trot, Mr. Loki and Mr. Mickey Love Song danced several steps respectively. The latter guys did only a few yesterday: just a little going forward.
Tentative Tense
StandardMei-Shun played Ms. Piano twice a day; once before going out for horsey riding accompanied by Mikan-chan, again after coming home. Why her fingers often beat wrong keys this morning? They might be confused a bit, since today is the first time to go to the club this week. Yesterday had only one lesson: she would like 30-minute drive on Ms. Scarlet deserve at least 2.
Mild Moon
StandardHello, 7th crescent. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun feels grateful to see you again. After many rainfalls from 6th, night sky finally show this beauty yesterday. A weather forecaster called today 凱風快晴=gai-fu-kai-sei, gentle south wind and clear; one of 46 pieces of 浮世絵=Ukiyo-e paintings by Master Hokusai Katsushika. Such circumstances let us see 赤富士, red Mt. Fuji.
