Here lunar September starts. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Moon toward a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎 first, drew a lot for reservation of Mr. Danone Caesar. Then they turned to a shrine located nearest from home. Now what luck would Gods give via omikuji lots? 小吉 and 末吉, all right. 狛犬 n-chan, please keep the latter. Shin would appear in person soon.
We celebrate Respect-for-the-Aged Day, set on the 3rd Monday of current month from 2003. It is also Mikan-chan’s birth year, shared by niece M-chan who was born 2 months earlier than fluffy daughter of Shin and Mei-Shun. Cloudy from morning, while a beautiful 小望月 casts a few glances at us from dark sky. She might be a gift attending cooler air below 30 degrees Celsius.
Mei-Shun used no air conditioner yesterday: only fans worked even after a bath. Such fine condition and sunset a few minutes after 18 : 00 let her feel that autumn has truly come. Looking back weeks recently passed, we scarcely saw any light in the sky caused by typhoons. On the contrary, sunny today forced her to grab a remote before 10 : 00. Could we see a 3rd crescent in the evening?
前祭=former 祇園祭 holds 山鉾巡行 today. Shin left Haneda Airport on 9 : 40, Mei-Shun is checking his flight to Frankfurt via PC at home. They would like to visit Kyoto — especially 後祭=latter celebration to see 大船鉾. However, Wednesday means 宵々々山 or one more “々” on weekend … oh? Amazing online shopping is available for its 粽? That is fine, she would contact them.
I and mom got on Ms. Scarlet to visit a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎. A bit cloudy sky helped us to go easily, despite weather forecasts saying we would experience 猛暑日, over 35 degrees Celsius. However, Mr. Danone Caesar was already chosen by another member. All right, lottery for August reservation please. No. 504? It looks disastrous, while we met many kind people there. Purr … purrr …

Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited 雨引観音 by Ms. Moon on weekend: the wife somehow felt like seeing above flower outside of their own garden. She seems to have been there years before, driving herself with mom-in-law — yet is it the same place? Enormous main building, full of cute babies held by young mothers in kimono, dogs, ducks and peacocks.
Mei-Shun goes to horsey riding clubs on weekdays only. She recently recognized that relaxation is very important for this sport — they are smart enough to know mental condition of people on their backs. If she is tense or scared, muscles would be stiffen to avoid correct communication with that clever animal. Mondays therefore must have at least one lesson to make a week nice.
Lunar April starts from today, just 1 week after solar May did. Mei-Shun enjoyed refreshing wind under 25 degrees Celsius, got on Ms. Scarlet before noon while Shin his new car in the morning. When the wife saw the latter for the first time, she was nearly shocked by its color — almost equivalent to house wall repainted last year. That is why your name was given immediately, honey.
We have lunar 桃の節句 or March 3rd today. Mei-Shun went out for shopping to prepare a small dinner, walked to the nearest shrine from a nearer-by supermarket car park. Cherry blossoms have already passed their full stages, while lovely petals were falling onto the ground. She caught one on her palm, felt happy and drew an omikuji lot. No. 8 大吉=dai-kichi, the luckiest has come!
… Mei-Shun made today, or a stroll looking for cherry blossom. Ms. Scarlet helped her to go here and there including a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎. They accommodate more trees than in Tsukuba, yet both have neighbors of golf playing field surrounded by the same breed. And thank you so much, Professor M who gave above shot of her friend 山櫻 in early blossom.
