Best Beauty

Standard

Purr, dad brought home above bins of cooked peach. “This white breed would be on store shelves soon,” he explained to me and mom. “So they remove smaller, worse-shaped ones before picking up attractive products.” It sounds a bit weird to me: why do you need to make choice by looks? What is the most important for fruits? “If it is sweet and juicy”, she replied. “You always know the truth.”

Leaving Leaves

Standard

Oh, Mademoiselle Vert, you carry 4 bananas under flowers kept for a whole month. Real ones Mei-Shun purchased the other day were frozen to serve as a kind of ice cream. Kidding aside, it is preparation to remove them on the bottom while growing babies on the top. Such power to survive in a little pot is genuinely revered by mom, who is always ready to help you.

Midnight Moon

Standard

One of problems Mei-Shun has since house repair began is that her favorite, great entity in the sky became invisible through windows. Covered with cloth like a mammoth mosquito net, only vague sights are available when she opens shutters. Still, it has been much improved compared to last week when all doors and windows were sealed with plastic sheets.

Farewell, Flavor

Standard

Please let Mei-Shun say thanks a million to you kind 498 followers. Who would be the last 2 persons to reach her number of wish? By the way, she made a little mistake: stored 八十八夜摘み茶 in Ms. Cuby, refrigerator for too long to keep its sweet scent. If she did not open the package vacuum sealed, it would still give perfect air of early May. Only maintained is bright green.

Moon Mist

Standard

Yawn, this is the last day of dad’s birthday month on solar calendar. Also at the end of weekdays meaning Friday, it lets mom feel the former half of 2023 finished quite well. She already ordered 水無月=minazuki, an important sweets to celebrate today with him. Still in lunar May, our outer wall was repainted into shining white called by a pretty name shown above.

Turtle or Tortoise

Standard

番付表 for the next basho of sumo wrestling arrived at Mei-Shun’s hands, sent from 二所ノ関部屋. Oh, 3 ex-大関 including her favorite are all single-digit 前頭 ranks. Although with no plan of visiting torrid Nagoya City, she would be happy to put on yukata, summer kimono as rikishi do. At least 3 days on 初日 July 9th, 中日 16th and 千秋楽 23rd. 千”穐”楽 is always employed by above stable.

Rare Rain

Standard

Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon, carrying a parasol works also as an umbrella under a gray sky. It took nearly 2 hours today, a bit longer than usual. Now she has to rush toward home, French radio lesson starts. However, current program is — oh, she has an excellent substitute. A combination of books and a CD starring a cute girl and a cat boy, a Christmas gift from Shin many moons ago.

Cookie to Cream

Standard

Mei-Shun found outer wall of home changed color: from biscuit to meringue when she came back from her horsey riding club last evening. They explained that it is the 1st stage followed by the 2nd today. She and Shin hope the 3rd, final would safely be shown soon. By the way, nice numbers on a scale let her enjoy 細巻き, thin rice sticks rolled with 海苔=nori sea vegetable for supper.

Open Omikuji

Standard

Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine after several months on weekend. Oh, twin 狛犬 A- and N-chans, great to see you two again. She had missed you so much, yet could not keep enough power to walk toward here. Now everything is fine, as her dance with Ms. Carino Piccola today. This horsey lady seems to prefer clockwise to our regular lessons going counter.

Cherry Jewelry

Standard

Thanks a million, sister Y. She sent Mei-Shun above this year as well: the former knows the latter loves it. Shin prefers darker American breed, while peach is also on the top of her favorite fruit list. Green melon follows them in summer for the wife, red and water one for the husband. He likes bananas with many sugar spots, called rotten by her. She is fond of crispy apples, waited by him until softened.
