Real winter has come, or at least Mei-Shun and her family feel so these several days. Ms. Scarlet is frozen on all windows when she drives Shin to the nearest station, let the wife rush to the bathtub for warm water. However, 霜柱=frost needle plants appear in her mother’s garden thanks to such low temperature. Fallen petals of camellia sasanqua give a chic carpet.
Hi, tiny friend, great to see you again — yet all right? Mei-Shun has taken it normal that your species would sleep in winter until it gets warmer. Or you might stay indoors from the time of birth, had no chance to learn how to hibernate. She hopes that you will grow enough here to lead a comfortable life even outdoors. By the way, did you see that beautiful 二十六夜 crescent early this morning?
Here is an image of a plant Shin sent to Mei-Shun this morning, asking what the name of it whose bright color caught his eyes along a mountain path. She immediately replied that it might be a lacquer tree or Toxicodendron trichocarpum. He was cautious enough not to touch it: this breed often causes serious rash. Every rose has its thorn, please prefer safe Christmas trees.
Meow, it is the last day of 2022 for me and mom to visit Arles. However, dad e-mailed to us at noon that he had to visit Miyazaki from evening. Tiny party would therefore be held tomorrow night, with all of us attend. Now chocolate cakes seem clever choice to store in a refrigerator, while the first tarte tatin we see here. Oh, a swan made of chou à la crème is for me? Purr … purrr …

Hi, Princess Maria, great to see and dance with you again. Oops, please do not rush into the tail of Mr. Opal. Mei-Shun and you are not in nearby wood but going around the field today. Here is your friend Highness, growing little by little to bloom. She had to survive among tiny snails coming up from the bottom of her throne pot: passed torrid summer might serve for their habitat.
So it seems easy for you, Chinese 白茶, to stand up in a teacup. Mei-Shun loves and consumes you more quickly than brown one, also good yet rather normal. What fascinates her most is flavor of the former; flowery to nose, refreshing to mouth. If leaves come out of a pot via narrow spout, they would make 茶柱 to be sweet for eyes as well — particularly with 2 pillars.
It has become a bit difficult for Mei-Shun to see a moon at home through the widest window facing the south. Instead, a glass door toward the east let her find its silhouette when she prepares to take a bath around 21 : 00. And it was early in this morning that Shin and his wife were welcomed by a clear 居待月, a moon to wait sitting above the nearest station.
… Mei-Shun would like. She has enjoyed studying Spanish to prepare for a test on Sunday. Her priority is always given to support for Shin including good health of herself, house keeping second. Horsey riding, singing with Ms. Piano, practicing kabuki dance and something new follow as above language. Now shall she take another novel, or choose one to improve from her hobbies?
We have today a full moon or 十五夜, the one at 15th night on lunar November 15th, while 七五三=7-, 5- and 3-year-old celebration. Mei-Shun takes such a coincidence somehow mysterious — only odd numbers gather on a solar date of an even number. By the way, Shin kindly handed her a box of くろ玉=sweet black balls yesterday. And oh, where have 2 of them already gone?
Meow, it is the first time for me to see these seashells from Portugal. The same for mom as well, who does not know if any lady sells them on the seashore, yet quite likes this souvenir dad brought home. One bite let her remind of 鶏卵素麺=noodle-shaped, sweetened egg yolk. It is a well-known brand in Fukuoka, Kyushu which was exclusively opened toward foreign countries from Edo Period.
