Meow, it is chilly this morning. Mom spread her kimono coat over me curling on the sofa, yet I woke up twice. All right, my bed would serve better sleep until mom takes a nap in the afternoon. Purr …

Your Highness
StandardPlease find Momo-chan, our garden princess. How shiny she is! It seems to Mei-Shun that this 80% blossom is the best. On the other hand, 染井吉野 in the park where she walks in the morning blooms still in 30%. There are 八重桜=yae-sakura trees as well, whose gorgeous flower we could see a month later. Such diversity of spring pink makes our mind really full of joy.
Third Player
StandardFollowing ume and daphne, here narcissus comes. Yesterday hit 20 degrees Celsius, today almost the same with stormy southern wind. Hello guys, nice to see you. Please take care, we are still in March.
Thrilling Drive
StandardFog might cover throughout the Japanese Archipelago this morning. It was adventurous to drive in such a circumstance. Today is the last of lunar January, with 啓蟄 (=keichitsu, the third of 24 seasonal terms meaning the day animals come out of hibernation) on Saturday, and the temperature reached 20 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. Oh, little dandelion, it is too soon for you to bloom, isn’t it?
Joy of Spring
StandardMei-Shun visited a beauty salon in Shinagawa. She enjoyed many plum trees in blossom along Joban Line. And on the way to the saloon, bright pink color jumped into her eyes — it is 河津桜=kawazu-sakura, a cherry breed which blooms in early spring. After the haircut, she met with Shin at a hotel which accommodates one of their favorite Japanese cuisine restaurant.
Sleepy Spring
Standard春眠暁を覚えず, they say. Mei-Shun wonders if people from any country share such sleepiness in a warm, sunny weather. At least it does not seem matter which species you belong to.
Mom’s 半纏, a kimono coat
… with me in.
Freezing Morning
StandardOur Aladdin stove starved last night. Mei-Shun found it just after taking a bath, set the timer to let him start at 5:00. She wished it worked for left 10 minutes, yet he denied to. It might be the coldest morning of this winter — still in the dark, our gas range made a good job to warm the room while serving us hot tea, soup and lemonade.
Prefer Red
StandardThese are my beds. Pink one is recent Christmas gift from mom, but I prefer another. While she left me alone for a month last year, I always stayed in it — it has her scent. Now she asks me to use new one, putting it in my cage at night. Well, I’ll use it if I want to. Don’t force me to do anything. How to tell her so?
A Heartwarming Story: 1
StandardOne morning, Mikan-chan’s mom brought brown rice to a farmhouse to polish. It was so easy to operate the machine that she hummed being a bit careless. Mikan-chan meowed softly when mom showed her a sack of white, shining rice. She looked satisfied with it.
Cute Smile
StandardYes, we know you are the prettiest. Your smile makes mom melt and collapse from laughing knees. Nevertheless, as a lady, please close your legs to hide your … so much a good girl. Thank you for your kind cooperation in this matter.
