A Heartwarming Story: 1

Standard

One 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.

Finely Fixed

Standard

It took two weeks for the ceramic tooth to be planted into Mei-Shun’s mouth. Her dental clinic has two rooms for treatment; one is full of that scary chairs with silver apparatuses and compound-eyed lights, the other looks like a beauty salon to serve relaxation for patients. This time, they guided her into the latter, for a simple attachment and — thanks to the amount she paid maybe.

From On to In

Standard

Hi, honey. You feel cold today? Mom does too. Mikan-chan comes into mom’s blanket. That means it is winter-like today. When they take a nap together, she prefers to stay between mom’s legs, covered by a towel blanket in summer. As it gets cooler, she replaces the towel with a wool one, to reach their favorite futon finally in winter.

Tuning Please

Standard

Ms. Piano has not heard from the musical instruments company — she must have been tuned last month. Mei-Shun cannot recognize her trouble, yet professional care of once a year is indispensable to keep her healthy. Don’t you think so, Choco-chan and Ohagi-chan?

Sweet couple

Sniff, it’s not a toffee.

Clever Horses

Standard

They are just great. 110 and more horses are working for a club in Ryugasaki. They work much harder than many of us; 6 days a week from 10:00 to 20:00. Rachel, the first partner of Mei-Shun, is a 17-year-old girl who has a shiny brown coat. She is kind and patient enough to follow beginners’ awkward signs to stop, walk and trot. Thanks, Ray-chan. Mikan-chan gave a permission to communicate with you. See you next week with a banana.

Sweet Rachel

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

Standard

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.

Next-door Pink

Standard

Our neighbor in the south and north plant various flowers in backyards. The former is the Ys who have camellia and hydrangea while below belongs to the latter, the Is. This beauty called 百日紅, meaning 100-day pink. It is lucky for our eyes to enjoy it all through the summer.

Thanks, I-san.
