Mei-Shun’s horsey riding club always airs classical music. There may be a radio program featuring famous scores like “The Nutcracker” composed by Master Tchaikovsky, “Carmen” by Master Bizet, etc. Today’s menu had all piano pieces including that dulcet score by Master Chopin. It reminded her repertoire to try at home, made a disastrous result.
Ms. Red Plage
Following 蝋梅=robai, Chimonanthus praecox descends from hands of Mei-Shun’s beloved father. Original tree planted by him blooms in late December, gives mother one of ornaments for every new year. However, this prodigy in their younger daughter’s garden seems to have two different families within a body; one with round petals and blossom in Dec., the other layered stars in February.
It seems good for Mei-Shun to take alcohol once or twice a week at supper. She used to drink much at almost every party, sometimes failed with hangover next morning. However, just a tiny glass of sake makes not only better feeling of taste but also in stomach. Now she finished Shin’s souvenir 山花 from Nagano, another calvados is ready after replenishing current one carrying an apple grown within its bottle.
Mei-Shun planed to visit a police station in Tsukuba to renew her driver’s license. Since a piece of photo is necessary, she used an automatic photographer twice — one in kimono, the other taken before riding a horsey. Shin preferred the former, chosen to work for 5 years. Now every item is ready, she started Ms. Scarlet … oh? Where is it, driving navigator? There is no building, just an empty ground.
Thank you so much, Master Mei-Shu.
It is alone for Mei-Shun today, Shin went on one-night business trip to Hokkaido. And it is never nonessential or non-urgent for the wife to go out for a hair saloon, feeling of excursion just follows. Ushiku Pond, rippled by northern wind and Cup-noodle Chimney, redecorated to give clear white steam looked friendly as always through windows. Sky Tree, great to take your photo at dusk.
Thank you so much, Professor S. She gently sent Mei-Shun an oval-cut Saudi diamond or “Desert Star” as birthday gift, made into a lovely pendant head. Another in brilliant cut is anticipated to become a pair of earrings with an emerald, currently enjoys an expedition on a ship of white shell within bedroom dresser. Would you two join her tonight to watch your beautiful mother in the sky?
Now, it is your turn. Rouge-pink roses in that pretty Christmas bouquet from Shin are ready to go outdoors. Madame Biscuit, Mei-Shun’s first kimono with her family crest 浮線蝶 looks also happy to go out of a drawer. Her sleeves are much shorter than 振袖=furi-sode, many women who reached 20 years old put on today to participate in municipal coming-of-age ceremonies.
Hello, a cup for tea and coffee made by N Co., Ltd. Mei-Shun had a couple in this design attached saucers, yet found one cracked the other day. And Noriko-san, one of her closest friends, made a bowl following below her wedding gift. They therefore became a tea service set for special celebration of Shin and MS. He was quick enough to order a new one, made it 1-bowl, 2-cup and 3-saucer.
Two weeks have already passed since Mei-Shun received a gorgeous bouquet from Shin on the stage. She learned how to enjoy it for longer: draw roses from a vase before they get too tired. Hangers are ready to dry them outdoors, while fragrant and snow-white lilies stay indoors with fresh water. They gently have made bedroom of above couple full of sweet aroma.
Mom stays home all day today, purr. She takes care of dad first, then me next. Well, it is all right. I know she really wants to let me have priority over him, yet suppresses such emotion to keep her big boy happy. Now he’s gone, my turn’s come to relax on her legs … meow? Where is she? Ah, in eastern verandah to pick up yellow leaves. Some were thrown onto the ground, others collected into a molehill.
