Mei-Shun’s 2nd favorite rikishi has changed his 四股名=shiko-na, name in 土俵 ring from coming 五月場所= May Tournament held in Tokyo. She means to treasure a towel his previous name printed on, used just twice in Fukuoka and Osaka. To her pleasure, today’s newspaper features his family who loves cherry blossom — it is the same as her beloved father.

Momo-chan Misses
StandardMr. Diamond, descended from Mei-Shun’s beloved father, would go soon: his fuel tank has serious cracks. “It is dangerous to drive him any more”, Shin said. His brother-in-law is a dealer of used cars, helped above couple to find another one. They got on him this weekend accompanied by Mikan-chan, enjoyed the last chance perhaps to go from a cherry blossom to others.
Final Flower?
StandardMei-Shun walked to a hair salon the other day, in high-heeled pumps as usual. She enjoyed reading news paper on green tea until dyeing medicine calmed down. Oh, an exhibition featuring an empress of our Meiji period is advertised. The potter made above cute cup might be inspired by this dress. By the way, why does her right ear get so black even after bath?
Windy Weekday
StandardOur fiscal 2023 is heading toward the end. Dad stays in Okinawa from yesterday, I and mom at home today. Momo-chan, our garden princess of bright pink is in 50% blossom. She is stormy outdoors, I am safe indoors, purr. On the other paw, rainfalls prevent us from dancing with horseies. Kimono would come to you instead, won’t it? Floor vacuuming is the first, I see.

Sweet Spring
StandardSo it might be just once for us to see bright sun during current weekdays. Mei-Shun reserved 2 lessons at her horsey riding club in Tsukuba, followed by a 30-minute private lesson. Hello Mr. Golden Helmet, great to dance with you for the first time. Since you are so tall, she felt quite safer on short Mr. Crunchy who made the best so far. And Mr. 翼 or Wings, nice to see you again.
Japanese Culture@holiday
StandardVernal equinox lets Mei-Shun know day time has become longer, yet 2024 sees it too dark. Clear in the morning, allowed her to hang futon mats outdoors. More and more clouds covered blue sky, with a slight rainfall in the afternoon. Momo-chan, our garden princess gave 1st flower in 2. Sunset had 7 : 3 gray and orange, the former might bring a short storm.
After 8Ys + 50Wks
StandardMei-Shun visited a hospital she had an operation to see Dr. A. The former counts it from the day she returned home, while the latter lady after she finished it. That is why title numbers delay a bit compared with hers who said they entered the 10th year. “CT scan could be stopped here, since 8th is the longest for one of my patients to get it again.” Well, for safety of mother’s mind.
Mom to Mom
StandardWe have 啓蟄=kei-chitsu, the 3rd of spring and all 二十四節気 today. It means the end of hibernation, while seeing a cloudy and chilly weather. It might be better for such animals to wait a little — yet not Shin who returned late last night from U.S.A. Mei-Shun got up at 5 : 00 after a week, warmed bathroom downstairs, shined his shoes and prepared breakfast.
Only One
Standard2024 has made our “backyard” 梅=ume, plum blossom the best so far. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoy this rare tree with a chimerical branch full of pink flowers among all white. It is also nice to watch it from his study, never need to visit any parks, temples, shrines or mountains accommodating 梅 in these 2 colors. By the way, the cutest angle for above is served by — restroom window!
Pink to Purple
StandardMei-Shun had looked after a gorgeous bouquet of roses from Shin, hanging them to dry for a whole month. They were finally put indoors and bound again. Fallen petals found an oval box which accommodated cakes shaped like the same flower. Oh, cute baby in silver coat kindly helps mom to pick them up from verandah floor: her claw cover follows human fingers.
