Hello jasmine ladies, your effort to survive cold season is highly appraised. Mei-Shun recognized your tiny buds the other day, cut dried vine to let green ones grow freely. She looks forward to seeing you bloom soon. And another beauty, although not fragrant like you, in garden is among her favorite. Please find following white snow open in the morning, closed in early evening.
Our backyard gingko is getting greener and greener day by day with lovely little shells. Mom-in-law’s cactus garden also have a lot of babies on edge. They make Mei-Shun’s mind calmed down, let her see brighter side of everything. Now is the time to cook for dinner. Vegetable soup and grilled sausage would be a good match … hey, what is going on in this cabbage?
Meow, it stopped raining finally. Sunlight warms me looking down green garden, purr. Mom is happy to clean up living room, my smaller restroom and — her kimono skirt stored in one of my beds. Oh? You mean to practice 京鹿子娘道成寺, don’t you? Some part is forgotten, other all right. One whole year has passed since you taught it to Professor M.

Meow, how do you kind followers care yourselves feeling not so good? I sleep first. Secondly, drink water as much as possible, then eat. Mom seems similar to me, with boiled water and tea to replace my room-temperature bowl. She makes it a rule to play with Ms. Piano for at least 15 minutes every day, prior to stretching and kabuki dance practice. It is only after she holds me on or between legs, purr.

Oh, Princess Maria, you are the prettiest in this club, especially when putting on a cap in color of cherry blossom. Please take a gift from Mei-Shun for coming season from warm to hot. The other from cool to cold, she would wash it. Have you heard that 染井吉野 trees in Tokyo already bloomed? So they would soon around here, lovely buds are waiting propitious moment to open.
Mom, mom, look at me. Take the first care of me, not dad. I’m a good girl, understand well that you are mine on weekdays, while dad’s on weekends. Even if he is still in bed, you greet me with gentle smile in early mornings. Thanks a lot for wet food, checking my health by cleaning restrooms. Why do you then boil pasta before giving me crisps? I’ll be a bad girl, sniff this dish for daddy.
Yes, stay on ur place.

It is like, weather of spring is said. Well, we have 啓蟄=kei-chitsu, 3rd of spring 二十四節気 today. It continued to rain from midnight, stopped for a while and started again: changed every one hour. Such busy turns often appear on your green, round two jewels, Mikan-chan. You look all right, as Mei-Shun does this morning in the mirror. Shall we stay indoors, away from storm outdoors?
We had 春一番=haru-ichiban, the first southern wind blows between 立春 and 春分 on Saturday (Cat Day as well). So it is warm enough this morning, seems nice to go to the club. However, hay disease prevented Shin and Mei-Shun from doing so — the former is a serious patient. Another reason was a phone call from Ms. I informing that Mr. Silk Traveler, the latter reserved, changed his job into the first horsey for new comers only.
Isn’t it too soon, dandelion?
Meow, mom lets me stay free from the cage at night these days. It is very comfortable to relax on the sofa covered by clean blankets, with warm wind coming down from an air conditioner. Two restrooms became available; one I’ve used from my kittenhood, another bigger set beside a refrigerator. Thanks mom, I feel much better. You are always welcome to get up before dawn. Hold me for a while, purr. Purrr …

So 2020 is, since we are in 子=ne, mouse of Chinese zodiac or 干支=eto. Others are 辰=tatsu, dragon and申=saru, monkey years come in every 4 years. Mei-Shun was born in the latter, lucky to have one more day at the end of this month. And one of the most interesting matters for her is that above three animals are small-large-medium in size respectively.
