Snowy Shrine

Standard

Have you kind 528 followers already greeted Gods during 三が日? Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun did on 2nd after seeing mother of the wife. A maiden in white kimono and red 袴=hakama pants sat beside a big omikuji box, handed them all the same lots; No. 30 末吉=the least lucky. They always bind such slips onto a tree branch, tried again on Sunday to see 吉=lucky.

Rainy Red

Standard

Here Mikan-chan, Shin and Mei-Shun celebrate wedding anniversary of the latter parents. Teardrops stopped falling in the morning when a big delivery box for above arrangement, while resumed after dark. It nearly washed containers full of Christmas feasts, whose ingredients come from both ground and sea. Now a handmade chiffon cake is also ready. Shall we start a little party?

Joy of 松山: 3

Standard

Shin heads toward Taipei on business. Mei-Shun always checks his flight online, found the same Chinese characters as the place in our country above couple and Mikan-chan recently visited. However, plane icons have gone halfway even reaching arrival. What is going on for dad, fluffy girl? Oh, it takes one more hour by a time difference. Then kind 528 followers, please relax to enjoy their memory image.

Flourishing Flowers

Standard

Princess Cymby grows only one flower bud this winter. Sorry, Mei-Shun has no technique for daily record of Your Highness, showing enough how cute she is. Black Tea in our garden therefore appears on her behalf – difference between highest/lowest temperature counts more than 15 degrees Celsius these days, might contribute to their longevity. You are easier to catch, honey.

Day of Delight

Standard

So December on solar calendars, the last month of the year, nicely started from Monday. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Tsukuba horsey riding club, felt happy dancing with Mr. MATSURI or Monsieur Fête. 小春日和, spring-like weather let them leave a thick jacket in Ms. Scarlet. Most trees along streets have already taken off their colourful coats, while some still put them on.

Joy of 松山?

Standard

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited 東平=Tonaru, 別子=Besshi Copper Mine remains called oriental Machu Picchu. Since they felt not so fine from middle of last month, their regular hotel in 道後 had no vacancy when recovered husband contacted them. He therefore chose a mysterious one opened on upper floors of a department store – only his driving technique gained access into such a narrow car park.

Vivid Vitamin

Standard

Mei-Shun decided to call gift bouquet from Shin Mademoiselle Fleurs. In order to keep her longevity, bigger roses must be hung first to dry. Sunshine followed by breeze would help them. It also let Mikan-chan and her mom dance with another lady in white coat, while not on a stage still a bit wet. Nice perspiration might be the best medication. Oh, Ms. Scale agrees saying “eat more”.

Day of Destiny

Standard

Mei-Shun received a gorgeous bouquet from Shin this morning. One of their anniversaries started with a cool rainfall, let it keep fresh. The husband actually went out yesterday afternoon on business all night, in order to come home by dinner time tonight. The wife got her hair curled at a salon nearby, vacuumed rooms before shopping and prepared warm dishes. Now shall we start, fluffy princess of its colour?

Fine Flight

Standard

Oh, evening sky is divided into 2 parts above Naha Airport. One is still in summer perhaps, the other already autumn. Clearer former might give Okinawa air around 30 degrees Celsius, while darker latter does Kanto region 20 with rainfalls. It is Shin who kindly sent Mei-Shun such image. The wife actually feels not so good all day long, yet much better to prepare for lesson tomorrow.

Changing Coat

Standard

Well, would you appear in such cloudy sky tonight, 仲秋の名月? Missing 十三夜 and 小望月 on weekend, Mei-Shun wished the most beautiful 十五夜. However, Typhoon Halong moves too slowly; born around far-southern Tokyo islands 小笠原, it almost walks on Pacific Ocean toward west. Getting bigger and stronger, it pours a lot of nimbus onto Kanto region.
