We have just 3 days left in solar September, including today who goes by soon. Mei-Shun feels she saw several shapes of moon appeared at night, while rainfalls often blurred them. Her appointment book shows the most gorgeous 十五夜 or 中秋の名月 appeared before a full, called Harvest figure this year: lunar August counted 15th when that celestial beauty was still on gibbous phase.
Mei-Shun met M-chan at a coffee shop nearby University of Tsukuba the latter niece belongs to. Stormy weather caused by Typhoon Dujuan has gone, hot southern air flowed into Ibaraki Prefecture. The former aunty drew a pair of platform sandals from shoes cabinet, put them on as 2026 debut. Here it comes – Mikan-chan in fruit stays behind ice cream.
This fruit is among Mei-Shun’s most favorite, might represent her 2026; she got Momo-chan baby sisters, Shin kindly attended 頒布会=buying club of yellow breed after several years. The former let her enjoy splendour of new life, moved onto the ground in good health. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, the latter is delivered almost once a week. Above is the 4th box, called 黄貴妃.
Shin returned from above Southeast Asian country on 29th, Saturday last month. He told Mei-Shun that smiling people seemed worth connected with hereafter, yet do not sell his daily drink; diet coke and 麦茶=roasted barley tea. Then he turned toward the U.S.A. yesterday, when his departure time was 10:40. 12-hour flight helps understanding his arrival at 8:40, while on Sept. 2nd again.
… is a Chinese saying Mei-Shun quite likes. It sounds to mean “medicine and food shares the same sources”. Shin also utters that there is no food harmful toward your body. And it is he who kindly ordered above 黄桃=yellow-flesh peaches for her. 1st delivery was accepted a week before, when the wife had a slight cold. Now she recovered, tried this 2nd gifts with apples’ texture.
Mei-Shun got a phone call from a flower shop, on the last day of solar July. It seems the biggest, only in charge of arrangement/bouquet delivery in Tsuchiura City. “We cannot contact Mr. O”, a driver said. She thought something happened to that octogenarian; therefore picked above up, served it for beloved dad-in-law. Her mobile rung in the evening, lively husband of Master Mei-Shu started chatting.
Mei-Shun found a rainbow in eastern sky around 17:00 yesterday. It might be the hottest, while started shedding gentle tears. Solar July 30th saw Master Mei-Shu depart, let her last 名取 send a bouquet to Mr. O every year. Oh, l’arc-en-ciel became doubled! And a pretty egret, messenger birdy, flew toward it. That means you safely received her admiration and affection, doesn’t it?
Mei-Shun walked toward a hair salon in high heels as usual. When she sat at a table to wait a good medicine soak, a nice water painting greeted her. “It is a birthday gift for me”, a beautician manages this shop said. “A professional is my close friend’s father, kindly chose his work and put it in a frame representing image of mine”. That sounds great, lets her customers enjoy it as well.
Hello 玉虫, how have you been? Since our “backyard” plum was cut with many others, there has seemed no place for you anymore. However, such a return lets Shin and Mei-Shun feel really happy. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, clouds of her coat shade covered all over the sky this evening – we would miss 三日月=the 3rd crescent, favorite shape of above wife again perhaps.
Mei-Shun recently started a kind of 断捨離=dan-sha-ri; meaning cut, throw away and leave from keepsakes. Shin always gives her flowers, sweets and accessories on anniversaries, while souvenirs when he makes business trips. Dried bouquets, empty boxes and cans have accumulated beside Ms. Piano, stairs and in storage containers. This summer without horsey riding is a good chance.
