Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun fled from a shocking heat wave hit Kanto Area on weekend, with only one air conditioner available at home. It was an idea of the wife to take it as a good chance to visit a new spa, while the husband who promptly chose 和倉温泉, made necessary reservations. They have been to 能登半島 in winter, impressed by severe weather to grow serene minds.
Dearest 501 followers, please let Mei-Shun express her deepest gratitude to your kindness to visit her site. She actually wished 500 to be the last and best, while distinguished one of you has come next. Here it seems the most important for her to continue honest reporting on cat, dance and piano: if she enjoys it herself, it might lead to your happiness.
One of problems Mei-Shun has since house repair began is that her favorite, great entity in the sky became invisible through windows. Covered with cloth like a mammoth mosquito net, only vague sights are available when she opens shutters. Still, it has been much improved compared to last week when all doors and windows were sealed with plastic sheets.
Mei-Shun feels a bit confused. Why do they say that 2023 rainy season “seemed to” start yesterday almost clear, not today with a heavy rainfall from early morning? Well, different from her childhood, weather forecasts never declare it. Beloved father, you preferred sunny weekends to play golf. Your younger daughter does on weekdays to dance with horseies, not in kimono.
Mei-Shun makes it a rule these days to put Mademoiselle Vert on verandah floor when it rains. Natural watering seems much better, encourages buds to open one after another. You are so sweet bringing emerald eyes of Mikan-chan, honey. Now you have 14 flowers followed by 5, yet there is no need to be in a hurry. Please get enough rest, and stay with her as long as possible.
Princess Violet, welcome back to our garden. Mei-Shun is pleased to see her safely bloom this year: mom-in-law is so earnest to cut her into a round shape that often removes baby buds. Flowers therefore greet them every other year here, while another with lace caps gives annual blossom in the southern corner. Yes, both of them are messengers of rainy season.
Mei-Shun has been practicing to sing “Clair de Lune” with Ms. Piano on a new score. She manages to play it correctly, while still has to do twice at the top of next pages. Such an act breaks a flow of music, encourages her to memorize all masses of notes. Oh, a white figure in pink and blue sky, would you agree with her? It is great to get up with you for around a week after your perfect form.
Meow, this would be the last communication from me and mom with you kind 492 followers in current, solar month. Please listen, she is surprised at something weird occurring between keys of Ms. Piano and her fingers on a newly purchased score of “Clair de Lune”. The reason seems to be her laziness in memorizing it. Well, you have only to remember my eyes clearer than a half moon tonight, purr.

Above is wisteria in the garden of Mei-Shun’s mother. Since wild breed accommodated in “backyard” has gone with a host tree, the former feels happy to see planted one. It reminds her of Queen Dreamer, passed away several years before when most tall trees around the club had those violet crowns on the tops. Which do you prefer these days, fly or gallop in the sky?
We have 清明=sei-mei, the 5th of spring 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun still coughs, yet managed to go out on Mr. Diamante toward her horsey riding club. Cherry trees covered with petals only are almost over, replaced by wilder breed. She prefers it to more artificial ones, enjoying young leaves and flowers at the same time. This place also accommodates white blossom to light pink.
