Family Flowers

I would say sorry to you kind 527 followers that mom was absent from here a short time. We are still in solar May, yet have already seen several heavy rainfalls. She wondered if 五月雨=samidare means a kind of harbinger for such season following, searched online. Hmm, this 皐月 is lunar one. It therefore calls our normal 梅雨. “You didn’t learn the famous haiku by Master Basho Matsuo?” Grandma said.

Merry May

Standard

I came back on Mademoiselle Vert to greet dad and mom at the beginning of current month, purr. It was the 1st when she brought 2 pots of orchid onto southern verandah; bigger throne of sleeping Princess Cymby I stayed from January, smaller accommodates these green flowers. Both have already showered twice after coming outdoors, washed leaves covered with indoor dust.

Admired Alone

Standard

Here is the youngest Princess Cymby 2025. Her 32 elder sisters have already gone, handing a flower baton on to Mademoiselle Vert. Mei-Shun always feels a bit sad when the former is found brown at petal edges in color of sunshine. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, she is so pleased with the latter who currently grows green buds holding her fluffy baby girl.

Respect Rainbow

Standard

It was really amazing that double, enormous bridges in 7 shades appeared in eastern sky last evening. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun came home, sat back at a table on a cup of tea. Gold light caught their eyes, let them rush toward the widest window. Lunar calendar used by the latter informed her of 虹始見, one of vernal 七十二候 just meaning this celestial phenomenon.

Sakura, Sakura

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine on weekend, accompanied by Mikan-chan of course. Lovely wild flowers greeted them along a lane between rice paddy, while cherry trees after they climbed steep steps leading to the main building. Almost in full blossom, these flowers gently watched over above couple who drew omikuji lots. The husband saw 吉=lucky, the wife 小吉=a little lucky.

Perfect Pink

Standard

We have several, serial 夏日 this week; at 25 degrees Celsius or higher temperature joined current spring month, along with a few snowy days. Such a radical change within a short term might affect Mei-Shun who had heat rash on the back. She therefore met a dermatologist instead of Mr. Marumorita today — not for any cream but to remove corns on bottoms of her feet.

Her Highness

Standard

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.

Graceful Gold

Standard

Morning 小望月 moon, thanks a million for your protection of mom who must have gone out in early time. She slipped into futon again, slept well with me until around 10 : 00. We sometimes enjoy such a relaxed weekday when dad is on a business trip. Before getting on Ms. Scarlet toward our horsey riding club, she found me curled on the 33rd flower of Princess Cymby. Purr … purrr …

Sweet Snow?

Standard

It started from around 13 : 00 yesterday. Early morning sounded a slight rainfall, would have made many people including mother of Mei-Shun pleased. Shin went out on Ms. Moon instead of Ms. Scarlet driven by his wife, parked the former nearby the station. Although it was Doll’s Festival, not a holiday that commuters were not allowed to enjoy 白酒=white sake liquor for above celebration.

Many Moons

Standard

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.
