The former is getting earlier, the latter later these days. When Mei-Shun gets up at 5 : 00, it is still all dark and freezing. However, warm living room thanks to Mr. Blue and Mikan-chan give mom enough energy to clean and feed her fluffy baby before preparing bath and breakfast for Shin. Oh, an hour flew to let her find a brilliant half moon and Venus in pale pink sky.
Yes, it blooms indoors. Or Mei-Shun means that one called 啓翁桜=keio-sakura, grown mainly in Yamagata is displayed at a peanuts and soba noodle shop. She accompanied Shin, who needs several more pants getting a bit bigger tyre around his waist, dropped in above restaurant for lunch yesterday. A plum tree full of pink buds also saw them on the way to and from there.
… of snow this winter began around noon, mom told me. Meow, it is so interesting that let me gaze beyond the widest window before stepping down from a sofa for water. She put on dad’s puff jacket, went out to replenish Mr. Blue. Good job, if he gets empty after dark, we would have to stay in milder air warmed by an air conditioner. Oh, Tora-chan sounds coming home. Purr … purrr …

Here they are, 蝋梅=robai flowers. Mei-Shun is really happy to see them bloom safely, never eaten up all by birds like the year before last. Her mother grew several young trees from fallen seeds, let her younger daughter choose the healthiest one. And it is mother-in-law of the latter who plant it at the best place of our garden. Good leaves protect their fragrant yellow.
Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station today. Rainfall from midnight stopped when she got on Ms. Scarlet. 牛久 Pond, Cup-noodle chimney and Skytree looked all fine. Her favorite beautician gave nice technique as usual, kindly guided her to purchase a bottle of Moroccan oil treatment. And oh, this building accommodating his shop displays a brilliant tree every year.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited 三昧塚古墳 by car on weekend. Oh, green grass covering the tumulus turned reddish brown, shining like copper in morning sunlight. “It is a kind of mystery that nobody knows the name of an ancient king reigned such a rich area,” the husband always says. “That is why he gave me sleep paralysis after we met him for the first time,” the wife replies respectfully.
Here is Mademoiselle Vert, growing a stalk day by day. Mei-Shun also found 蝋梅 in our garden hides some buds opening a little among still green leaves. She would like to display an image of the latter soon, while could not take any photo today — closed at home by stormy weather. Although we had 大雪=tai-setsu, the 3rd of winter 二十四節気 yesterday, it seems to be warmer than such snowing.
Going into lunar November tomorrow, Mei-Shun looked up the sky this morning. Ms. Crescent sees her from southeast before dawn lately. The latter gets up at 5 : 00 to take care of Shin and Mikan-chan on weekdays, privileged to come across such a fantastic view. By the way, above image was actually taken yesterday, because today was a little too cloudy to catch her clearly.
Mei-Shun feels really glad to see a partial lunar eclipse tonight with Shin, who worked at home by chance. Oh, what a sunset in reddish pink! It is incredible — now Ms. Full Moon is on the opposite stage of sky. Already hidden behind our Mother Earth, she looks like a tall crescent. Flowing, light clouds sometimes cover to change her shape from a ripe banana to an orange ball.
Meow, they say today is Dog Gift Day, reading month and date numbers as its 4 barks in our language. They should be cared with present boxes like Christmas Day? Hmm. Mine is February 22nd, set in the same 1987 as above by chance. By the way, this fish looks like coming directly from the sea of Nagasaki. Is it a treat for me, dad? Or did mom apply that idea of animal welfare?
