Mei-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.
This would have been the 1st day of 2024 for me and mom to visit “Arles“, purr. However, southerly gale prevented us from getting on Ms. Scarlet in the afternoon: safety is superior to sweets. May we therefore replace today’s title by above image? Yes, she enjoyed short walking to a nearby hair salon in high-heeled boots. Her beautician asked if she lost weight a little.

Shin and Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine yesterday, January 3rd on lunar calendar to greet Gods while make new-year wishes. Now how are their omikuji lots? Oh, 吉=kichi, lucky of No. 22. Is it you, Mikan-chan, who kindly gave mom this one? On the other paw, dad found 末吉=sue-kichi, the least lucky. It might mean to let them share good luck from their fluffy daughter.
Meow, it is New Year’s Eve on lunar calendar today. I and mom visited a horsey riding club in Tsukuba, enjoyed 3-step dance with tasty named Ms. Candy and Mr. Crunchy. Mr. Ryan followed them in trot, kept a nice guy who made us wish to perform more. Now coming home, she got on a scale to see the best numbers after as long as 14 weeks. Good for you, purr.

I and mom visited a horsey riding club today, amazing 4th time in a week. I’m always all right, yet it was not easy for her to keep healthy going out every 5 weekdays. Well fortunately, she managed to make it with a little help by medicine. Weight control is also going fine? Good for you, purr. By the way, we put a wrong title to lovely Aries; not Ms., Mr. he was found!

Meow, we are in 寒中=kan-chu, the coldest season between 小寒=sho-kan, the 5th of winter 二十四節気 and 立春=risshun, the 1st of these 24 sections from spring. On the other paw, daytime becomes longer and longer after 冬至=toji, the 4th following 寒の入り or mentioned wintriness starter. Even if closed indoors, I and mom can find the warmest place to relax. Purr … purrr …

Professor M, please let me say thanks a million on behalf of mom. She received a lovely flower arrangement from him last week. It consists of red roses, white Persian buttercups, pink cherry twigs and brown brackens. We are going through the coldest season, while looking at warmer blossoms. Would it snow even around here tomorrow with 大寒=dai-kan, the 6th of winter 二十四節気?

This is the last day of Mei-Shun at her present age. She and Mikan-chan would like to convey millions of thanks to you kind 512 followers for joining them so far. Here is their promise to continue efforts; dance with horsey, piano practice, kimono care, health keeping, etc. If they could help you to smile and relax a bit, it would let them step forward further.
Lunar December starts from today, meow. I and mom got on Ms. Scarlet toward our 2nd horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎 — 1st is Tsukuba from last month or solar December. A major reason for visiting the former is Mr. Danone Caesar, while minor to stay in a city whose name includes 2024 symbol “dragon” among 干支=eto or 12 emblematic animals of the year.

So 2024 sees the 2nd Monday on our national holiday: 成人の日=Coming of Age Day following January 1st 元旦=New Year’s Day. Mei-Shun replenished 2 茶筒=green tea cans, walked to a nearby hair salon in a down jacket of Shin who went into futon again after breakfast. He is a bit too big to step over and reach her wardrobe. When they went out for shopping together later, she put on a coat in color of orange or Mikan-chan.
