Pretty Peach

Standard

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.

Cambodia to Chicago

Standard

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.

医食同源

Standard

… 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.

Gift Gratitude

Standard

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.

Grand Greeting

Standard

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?

Blue Beauty

Standard

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.

Flying Friend

Standard

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.

Glass Glisten

Standard

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.

Cherish Cherry

Standard

We are on the last day of solar 水無月 2026, while 夏越の大祓 expecting a full moon. Shin headed Kyoto where people relish that traditional sweet. Mei-Shun planted Momo-chan babies onto the ground, just next to their mother tree. Since the husband currently refrains from calorific foods, the wife sometimes joins with him – it serves for her own weight control.

Sacred Summer

Standard

Mei-Shun found many 提灯 lamps at the nearest station; hung along pedestrian lane, or held like a wide ladder. Such a night view reminds her of 祇園祭, when festival enthusiasm covers whole of our ancient capital. On the other paw of fluffy Mikan-chan, we might miss the 2nd most exquisite 十三夜 expected tomorrow. Rare, serial storms followed by 2 typhoons are forecast.
