Grown Seaweed!

Standard

This is Mikan-chan’s fountain. Taking three months to get used to, she is quite satisfied with it these days. A motor which makes water flow, set within the pool, has not been easy to clean. Shin recently gave a good hint; drop surfactant on it, then restart. What a shocking sight — wakame-like dirt comes out of the motor one after another …

Keep me clean.

Keep me clean.

Not a Weapon

Standard

So it is one month before 邦楽発表会. Here is a handmade spear for practice — thank you, Master Mei-Shu. Several of her students have performed Suisen-Tanzen. Well, it seems difficult for normal citizens to keep such items new and clean. Mei-Shun would use it on the roof floor, never to hit Mikan-chan full of curiosity.

Sits Alone

Standard

After taking a dental check from 16:00, Mei-Shun went shopping today. It gets dark earlier these days — and a bit cold. Mikan-chan immediately responds to this change. Occupying Lemon for a nap in daytime, she watches mom to jump on her legs in a second. Sorry, darling. Your dad comes home soon …

Mikan-chan really loves this year’s birthday gift. Her other favorite places include: sunny hall toward the roof floor, wooden window frames, mom’s futon mat or blanket, folded bath towels just after laundry, etc. Ohhhh, your smile makes mom feel like joining you, honey.

Come in.

Come in.

I'd love to.

I’d love to.

Surprise Gift

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor S. She kindly sent Mei-Shun a delicacy of handmade again. Truly amazing is her technique and sense of beauty to employ such cute rose-shaped crystal beads. And this jade rose represents her warm regards. That must be why it just fits on the little cup behind Mei-Shun’s collarbone.

Purrr ... I love it, too.

Here is Omochi-chan again. Mikan-chan found this stool the best place this morning. Yes, it’s cool, honey. Tasty season has come. Chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, pear, grape and green orange … Oh, mom has to make a reservation to see Dr. M, her home dentist!

I'm steamy.

Congratulations, Mikan-chan. You will be 12 years old on 20th this month. We are so happy to see you like our gifts. Does this bowl help you eat? … Oh? Where are you — in your new bed named Lemon by mom! So much satisfied you look.

Tora-chan is a little eater. Mom-in-law feed her twice a day, yet two third of it would be left over. That is why another cats come to our garden at night. It causes fights between Tora-chan and such interlopers. A vicious circle it seems, while the worst might be that she prefers treats Mei-Shun give her.

Purrr ...

Purrr …

Chase the Sun

Standard

She made it. Our futon mats were hung in the balcony to dry. Only for a few hours, yet it satisfied Mei-Shun after rainy days of a week and more. In the afternoon, dark clouds came up to bring a shower for a while. The weather forecast says it will rain hard tomorrow. Well, it’s good for our plants. Oh, you prefer refreshed blanket, Mikan-chan.

ZZZZZ ...

ZZZZZ …

Air-conditioner Free

Autumn brings a happiness to Mei-Shun. As she sits on the sofa, Mikan-chan immediately comes onto her lap. Still in August, we have been enjoying cool weather from yesterday. It seems a bit too soon, yet it would be hot and humid again in a few days. Let’s make a good preparation in mind and body, baby.
