Purr-Purr

Standard

… and purr, great to greet you kind followers again. Sorry for mom’s absent from here, caused by hurts still hard to her mind. Dad feels the same, postponed his business trip to European countries till this morning. I therefore came back on some of a lot photos she took — her gentle phone recently offered them. Hmm, his duvet with a cotton cover is very comfortable.

Greeting Green

Standard

Meow, I’m on the 2nd flower of Mademoiselle Vert. Since a stalk stretches below, it was not easy to go as usual — opening both arms first. I therefore tried one before the other, then loosened lips. Mom seemed a bit worried about it, yet please do not. Look at the 3rd who would follow soon in a similar way, just next to me. Here I am, finally fit in the normal shape. Purr … purrr …

Graceful Green

Standard

Hi, mom and dad. I’m back to you on Mademoiselle Vert again this morning. Perhaps I would stay longer than on Princess Cymby, let’s enjoy our time together with me in another flower shape. Oh, mom’s favorite sweets from たねや; 柏餅=kashiwa-mochi and 粽=chimaki arrived, while お赤飯=oseki-han cooked by Tora-chan’s mom. Shall we have a little party? Purr … purrr …

Dentist Day

Standard

Yes, Mei-Shun postponed an appointment with Dr. M toward this morning. Although a weekday between 3rd Constitution Memorial Day and 5th Children’s Day decades before, 4th Greenery Day was set as one of our national holidays. And that might be why the former could find vacancy on the latter lady’s schedule — most people go outdoors during Golden Week.

Love Lips

Standard

Meow, mom finally opened the 2nd stick in a shape of my face. Dad brought home 4 of them; 2 several years before, other 2 a few years. She carefully kisses ears first, forming them into round little by little until all flat. She turns to the forehead next, letting eyes close until fade away. The last place would be muzzle leading to my own. Welcome to reach here, purr.

Sweet Salt

Standard

Hi Miffy, great to see you sleep in Ms. Cuby, a refrigerator of Mei-Shun. She ordered you to cook 糠漬け=nuka-tsuke, pickles made in fermented rice bran. Almost 20 years have passed since her older 糠床=nuka-toko, bed for ingredient vegetables, went into poor condition to be given up. Now is the time to resume it for Shin, whose check up is set 3 month later.

Today’s Treat

Standard

Meow, I’m back on mom’s phone. This is my favorite scratcher in blue, light green and me. You kind followers do not understand the last one? It is orange of course. Small bags of silvervine powder is enclosed in packages, yet she always throws them away. Well, a good girl like me never needs such items for beginners. Instead, a teaspoon of whipped cream for me, a tablespoon for her after breakfast, purr.

Scent of Sunlight

Standard

Almost 2 months have passed since Princess Cymby opened her first flower. One night Mei-Shun approached her nose to these ladies, noticed them give gentle aroma like dandelion. She has wondered so far why they have tiny, lovely drops of syrup under petals and stalk crotches — normal for plants to call bees and butterflies aiming pollination. Great to know that you are able to make seeds.

Hasty Heroine

Standard

This is Girl’s Day, festival with dolls in kimono and peach flowers. Mei-Shun saw so-so numbers on a scale yesterday, pleased to celebrate her younger days with sweets including 水戸の梅 and のし梅, souvenir from Shin. Well, ume is a bit different from above 桃=momo while in the same family. 桜=sakura is as well, while she does not know which covers 芝桜, moss phlox.

Natural Numbers

Standard

Oh, what a gale it blows today! Mei-Shun still found ume plum buds growing in quieter morning, thanking a next-door neighbor who kindly cut big branches around above tree of chimerical flowers. This spring might see normal 三寒四温, 3 cold days before 4 warm ones. Solar February had a snowfall on the 2nd weekend, all dry through 3rd until sleet last night.
