Our yellow beauties dashed off into the color. We are so happy to see them shine, one indoors while the other under the blue sky. The latter also pleases us blooming on balcony floor.

Japanese Culture@wkday
StandardThis Tuesday on the way to home, Mei-Shun dropped in at a branch of 菊廼舎 in Tokyo Station. She reserved specially-designed cans of 冨貴寄, with the symbol of coming 2016 申=monkey, for friends and herself. They are called 年女 or 年男 = people of the year, who were born in the new year symbolized by one of 12 animals. She makes it a rule to send that delicacy to her precious 年女 or 年男, since it seems to bring a good fortune.
After 35 Wks
Standard“As usual” sounds the most wonderful to Mei-Shun. Dr. A said that her condition is well. Gingko trees around the hospital parking space looked shining in gold to her eyes, as our cymbidium does at home — oh, our gingko in the backyard finally began to turn to the same color.
60% in Bloom
StandardPlease find below our Yellow card at the end of this month. She never stop catching our eyes, letting us ask if she does not feel thirsty every day. Honey, it is warm today. Won’t you go outside and greet the sun?
Twin Suns?
Bright Beauty
StandardIt was cloudy this morning. Well, no problem. We have daylight indoors — she prefers chilly weather to keep these lights on. And following slight sunshine in the afternoon, one of her twin sisters has woken up.
Flowers for Piano
StandardThis bouquet from Shin has pleased us so much so far, yet roses are quite delicate. They look so tired that Mei-Shun gave them a cut-and-clean treatment. Here is one vase accommodating half of them, to get along with Ms. Piano. She missed her only player for a while, just kept herself neat and quiet.
Hi, friends.
Beauty Excursion
StandardSince Mei-Shun has lost contact with one of her hair designers, she reserved another saloon in Tokyo for a haircut. Reasons why she chose it follow as 3 Cs; convenience, contents and communication. Located in Shinagawa, reasonable price and good technique, friendly but not talkative staff. Humm. She likes it.

Here She Comes
StandardHer first bloom means that winter would follow soon. She grows fastest, while her twin sisters still look green. We took them and Mr. Avocado indoors to wait for spring together.
Yellow Combination
StandardAfter driving Shin to the nearest station, Mei-Shun visited a park to see a row of gingko trees. Autumn hand certainly touched them; leaves started to turn yellow. And so are our Yellow card buds.
Morning, chickens.
I’m first.
And we follow.
