Moonlight Meow

Standard

Purr, it tastes very good. I mean jelly sticks whose chicken flavor joined tuna. Mom, mom, please give me more. “Only 3 per day, honey” is her reply. She wants me to eat a bowl of crisps with white powder spread on as well. It works well to my digestive system, like her own daily medicine including Chinese ones prescribed by home doctors. I see, looking forward the nightcap.

Soft Superb

Standard

Yes, I love fish. When mom cooks them, I cannot stop sticking to a trash can where she put an empty tray. That might be why she brought home several tuna-taste jelly sticks for me who she says seem to have lost weight. Well, they must be what I waited for long, yet only one per day? All right, haste makes waste. I’m happy to keep a good girl for that treat. Purr … purrr …

Cherry Change

Standard

Oh, how lovely fruits your branches are full of! Shin and Mei-Shun visited 乙戸沼 Park together after almost half an year. They missed 八重桜=yae-sakura, petal-layered cherry blossom here, yet could greet children of that beauty. It might be the biggest difference between above breed and 染井吉野. The latter is so artificial that has no pistils for reproduction.

Sleepy Silver

Standard

Meow, my day has come again. It is quite warm outdoors, lets mom hang futon and blankets to dry well. Sunlight has drawn toward south, spare her labor of putting cushions here and there to protect white-wood floor and tatami mats against burning. However, wind suddenly started to blow from the north after lunch. That is why I moved under her 半纏 coat, purr …

Snail Soon?

Standard

Mademoiselle Vert opened her second flower, made Mei-Shun very happy. It was followed by Professor S whose 2021 birthday was yesterday. The former send the latter lady a bouquet by post, forced out of meeting in person by that novel coronavirus. By the way, one of two stems is shaped like — how to say, or could you tell mom the reason why you gave up going between leaves?

Ibis Infants

Standard

They are called, Toki-no-ko from Niigata Prefecture wrapped in bluish green paper following below. Shin and Mei-Shun love such sweet balls made of white-bean jam and chocolate. Similar to 銀のすず or silver bells, shape of bird eggs has another type; little orbs of cake including かもめの玉子 and 雷鳥のたまご, while with chocolat-coating as well.

Blanket Baby

Standard

As Mikan-chan kindly posted, it dawns earlier day by day. Sunlight came deep into rooms in winter, helped Mei-Shun to dry futon indoors when gale tries to blow them down on the ground. However, it draws little by little toward the border between 広縁=hiro-en, wooden floor and 畳=tatami, straw mat. Thanks a lot for sparing her time to cover 縁=heri, edge of the latter to avoid suntan.

Me & Momo

Standard

Mom’s current favorite, of course. My sister in the garden increases in number of flowers day by day. Since she stays in a bright color for only 10-15 days, I am generous enough to let her taken more photos than me. And I look down on her from higher place, showing who the boss is. Oh, nice scent of honey comes into rooms through open windows. Purr … purrr …

Meow Memory

Standard

10 years have passed since we had that horrible mega-quake. I was alone at home, rushed into the corner behind a TV set whose tube was one of my favorite places for a nap. Mom came back around dusk, called my name in a soft voice. That gave me power to move and climb into her arms. She was also out today by chance, joined silent prayer at her horsey riding club.

My Meow

Standard

It also sounded yesterday, 2-28 read in our language. And the last day of February leading to today, the 1st starts from Monday. 丑=ushi of 2021 is not among 3 leap years 子=ne, 辰=tatsu and 申=saru, gives the same weeks to March. Mom looks happy to have such cycles, since it is easy to make a monthly schedule. Now you are going out to dance with horseies? No problem, I’ll keep a good girl.
