M-chan, Mei-Shun’s only niece went on a 3-week trip to Slovenija in March. Her university has a partner there, lets students learn together. Bordered by Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary, access abroad is quite easy. Above comes from Venice the former made an excursion. Happy aunt hung a shoulder bag with it, made in the same country while green shade as well.
Well, perhaps it is not. When Mei-Shun popped open a wet umbrella, its handle safely stayed in her hand while letting printed giant pandas jump onto garden turf. They came from Ueno Station, one of whose symbols is a zoo. She remembers the first couple came there called Lan-lan and Kang-kang. By the way, beloved dad-in-law worked for that public institution decades before.
Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun found peach trees in a queue, along a lane toward Tsukuba horsey riding club. The latter driver of Ms. Scarlet saw them bloom as heading there, yet gave up photos because they are on her left side. After enjoying dance with Mr. Marumorita, here they are just on the right. Be careful not to involve cars pass by, watch traffic light.
“Which do you prefer?” Mei-Shun asked Shin last night when we were still in fiscal 2024. Now 2025 of the same starts, her mind is fixed on the former. It works as a buffer for horseies’ back, set on a fabric pad. She purchased one the other day for Mademoiselle Angel, whose white hair let this rider separate gears between fawn guys and girls including Mr. Marumorita, Ms. Lovely, Mr. MATSURI, etc.
Princess Cymby 2025 gave all 33 flowers open. As the first 3 buds greeted Mei-Shun on one paw or wing of Mikan-chan, the last on another let her mom watch warily. The youngest lady said hello perhaps on 14th, White Day when gentle Professor K sent the latter a box of delicious 銀のすず. Both arms of the former followed soon, then a cap and shoulders did.
Mei-Shun found that “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel has the same obligato in each 4 lines on the 1st page of score, followed by similar chords toward the last 6th. She practices it at least 4 times a week: her fingers, ears and eyes have become balanced better. It might be like dancing with horseies — fine combination between arms, back and legs work well.
We have 雨水=usui, the 2nd of vernal and whole 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun drove Ms. Scarlet heading a cafe to see M-chan. On the way to there, the former aunt dropped in a repair shop. When she walked toward a hair salon last month, a pair of short boots warned her of their trouble: tiny rubber parts under high heels were almost worn out. “I found a good guy for it”, that kind beautician said.
Where is the wooden 巳=snake Mei-Shun might purchase at a shop located in Ueno Station a long time ago? 2025 is an year for her mother, must feature that reptile on a dining table to join little cats. Among 十二支 symbols; 子, 丑, 卯, 午, 申, 酉, 犬 and 亥 are from the same artist. 寅 is represented by Mikan-chan while 辰, 未 by tiny stuffed animals.
Here Princess Cymby opened as many as 8 flowers. Since she loosened 3 buds on Saturday, round shapes changed into stars one after another. Mei-Shun actually felt a bit sorry for gorgeous roses from Shin as they wither day by day — she has pulled some out of a vase, hung them outdoors to dry. However, it has become clear to her that a message from a queen bouquet reached a young lady.
Mei-Shun picked up his fallen leaves, saying sorry again if you kind 522 followers have seen above title. Clear shape of 舞扇 or fan for kabuki dance, bright color are reasons why they are brought indoors to dry. By the way, today’s photo features Ms. Scarlet and foliage in her same shade the driver found in an early morning. Almost all tall trees along streets took off their overcoats.
