Meow, mom received a phone call from her elder sister Y. I’ve not seen the latter, yet often heard of. “Her youngest daughter, your cousin M passed the entrance examination to University of Tsukuba! She would be an Ibaraki resident soon,” she told me smiling. Dad is also satisfied with this news, calls M-chan a smart girl. I cordially wish them a good friendship.

Meow, solar March starts from today. According to mom’s diary, 2023 has lunar February twice. One 朔日 was on 20th of last month, while the other would be on coming 22nd or my day, purr. That might mean we have 2 other chances to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day. However, what we are eager to give dad is not chocolates but places to work safely with no cedar pollen.

So this is the last day of current month for Mei-Shun to see horseies. As Mikan-chan kindly mentioned before, she could keep healthy enough to attend all reserved lessons. Rain, snow and gale prevented her from doing it twice, yet other Mondays, one Wednesday and Thursdays made it. See you again next month, on similar schedule to 4-week February in 卯年.
Purr, yesterday was for my breed when dad flew to the United States. His time went back to the same 2.22 while mom and I celebrate birthday of current emperor Naruhito today. They say it is for Mt. Fuji as well, reading 2-2-3 in her mother tongue. We do not know which mom-in-law living downstairs cares more, yet are always thankful to her cooking お赤飯=red-bean rice.

Meow, mom finally made a pie featuring one of my cousins and tequila. With the intention of consuming a bit elder condensed milk by it, she chose less cakes at “Arles” on Wednesday. She also bought a cheese cake mix for crust, rather than recommended graham cracker. Left filling powder was simply made into mousse, above green citrus fruit sliced within.

This must have been the 2nd day of 2023 for Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan to visit “Arles”. However, it is really the 1st since Shin gently asked that pâtisserie to deliver a “galette des rois” for his wife last month. He flew toward Hong Kong this morning, therefore could not share a tea table tonight. All right, she would try colorful macarons who keep the best until he comes back.
Purr, I opened 25 flowers of Princess Cymby so far. Mom likes 13, 22 and this number because it sounds like ni-ko, meaning smile in her mother tongue. She recently found that many of my green brothers turn to similar color to me with every kiss of mine. Yes, we share limited power within a throne. Thanks and sorry, I still have 4 buds to touch all 29 paws.

Thanks a million, sweet Mikan-chan. Yes, we are on the 1st of solar February today following yesterday of course. Mei-Shun cleaned up a dining table featuring seasonal celebrations including 干支=12 symbols of the year. Since 2023 is 卯年 to take care of rabbits, please find above her collection from “Arles“, the Netherlands via Shin and the same made in Fukushima.
Meow, we are on the last day of solar January. Mom seems to have decided what to do first in 2023; to improve horsey-riding technique, to keep herself healthy enough to attend all lessons she reserves. It might have been easy when she was half of her age, yet never right now. If she could complete it in coming three month, second goal would be considered with Ms. Piano. Purr … purrr …

Purr, I’m back to mom’s arms in 9 flowers and 20 buds of Princess Cymby. Total 29 sounds like 肉球=niku-kyu, one of our millions of charming points when 9 added to the tail, quite makes sense by my action. “Yes, you are always perfect”, she says. “We had lunar 2023 start from yesterday when you gave 9th flower in early morning. Dad is also delighted with you, our sweetest hearts”.
