There is a gorgeous 合歓木 or silk tree at our Tsukuba horsey riding club. It blooms in lighter shade of Momo-chan, who puts on a bright pink kimono. Mom loves it, yet is not so much a good photographer that her shots hardly catch its exquisiteness enough. I therefore serve you kind 529 followers my image curling on her 半纏 jacket colored similar. Purr … purrr …

Here Mei-Shun waits for her hair to dye enough. She actually reserved it on weekend, yet failed 5-minute walk in time. When she checked a planner before noon, it was found one hour earlier! She rushed to a phone, asked the beautician if postponement is available: this technique is the most important, followed by cut and shampoo. Sorry high-heeled pumps, there are too many puddles to put you on today.
Rainy season 2025 starts in Kanto region. It means life of Mei-Shun shifts into summer version; less perspiration by horsey, more inspiration at home. Since Shin recently changed eating habit in preparation for annual checkup, many vegetables would appear on their table. By the way, we expect 十五夜 tonight — she might be shielded with silver clouds, invisible yet shine like Mademoiselle Angel.
Mei-Shun’s mother gave her younger daughter photos taken in her garden. Oh, lovely cactus flowers — “they only bloom for a day”, she said. It seems to all depend; direct from green balls in pale pink, same while bright yellow, orange with long stalks. By the way, hydrangeas start growing buds here and there. Lace-cap one living at our southeastern corner is daily checked.
Oh, lovely Princess Maria, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun miss you so much. Please listen, the latter took care of the garden after her husband Shin weeded it by electric cutters. She first put on glasses, yet such exercise made her take them off soon. When she prepared a cup of tea, a chest pocket showed nothing within. Her panicked thumbs finally found them at the bottom of a grass hill.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
