Professor S. is so good at making accessories. She kindly asks Mei-Shun’s request for colors and designs, yet she knows her favorite well. Pink, from salmon- to rosy, is one of them. Please find below and enjoy. White, green and blue ones follow next time.
Pink Miracles
We found a camellia tree in the backyard of our neighbor full of toxic caterpillars! That tree is not ours, but blooms nicely in winter. It therefore seems our duty to keep her healthy. And our own health must be cared as well.
Mikan-chan has a pedigree certification. However, she looks much smaller than stereo-typed Russian Blue breed. Her round face, soft muzzle line and fluffy coat, all different from the ones awarded in cat shows. Well, does it matter? She is the prettiest in the world for us. And that is all.

Golden Week seems the best time for rice farmers to start planting. It is so nice to walk along newly-watered paddy, enjoying fresh breeze over it. Night chorus by frogs is so pleasant to ears. All is for happy harvest in autumn, yet stop for a while and let us be grateful to stand on this beautiful place.
The most popular breed Somei-Yoshino is over. Now wilder Yama-Sakura and gorgeous Yae-Sakura are in their last bloom. Mei-Shun prefers the former, which looks chic but is ranging from almost white to clear pink color. Some of them are so shy that we do not know they are there, behind other trees. However, their presence would be recognized by petals flying from nowhere.
This is our ginkgo tree in the backyard. He has grown from one seed, now nearly reaches our roof garden. One day of spring, he puts on an airy green robe. And next day, baby leaves appear on each branch, yet still curled. Day by day, they become loosen to show cute, shell-like shapes.
The owner of Mei-Shun’s favorite flower shop is always generous enough to hand her a little gift. Today’s special were these cute marigolds for our garden. We hope they are fond of this environment.
It is a custom for many Japanese to visit the nearest temple or shrine, called Uji-Kami sama. Walking route for Mei-Shun and Shin includes one. On Sunday, they found that the blessing entity has an amazingly beautiful garden of cherry trees. We are very happy if you could share the joy of this carpet.
Momo-chan, our garden princess, looks ready to grow fruits. She leaves many petals on Mei-Shun’s car, which has been taken over from her late father. Every spring, it seems that Momo-chan conveys warm messages and hug together from Mei-Shun, her mother and sister to their beloved one.
Mei-Shun has been forced to return here, yet only to receive medicine. It seems that a nurse in charge of her on Monday made a mistake. Well, no problem – for such a beautiful cherry blossom.
