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.
Newly on the table
With 2-day spring, winter came back to me, hiss! Noisy storm outdoors, knocking around my tail indoors. Mom, where have you been in early morning? Drove dad to the nearest station, dropped in the shrine? Well, tell me how they are, I’d love to listen on your legs. A plum tree above one of 狛犬 guardians has many buds. Future on the name tug of bigger 鳥居 gate returned. That’s fine, purr.
They lacked “先” before.

Meow, it’s begun to rain much earlier than weather forecasts. Mom told me so when she brought the laundry indoors. Don’t mind, they’ll be dried immediately thanks to Mr. Blue working hard today. You are just expected to hold me on legs until I fall asleep again … … oh? You smell a bit like Tora-chan. What, she was found sitting in front of our door, hiss! Your effort to let her out is highly appreciated. Purr … purrr …

It really is. Mei-Shun hopes such a weather won’t make too torrid summer, when important sport events are to be held in Tokyo. On the other hand, it seems pleasant for her fluffy daughter, mother-in-law and a young 蝋梅 tree in the garden; the first is satisfied with sunlight on a blanket, the second is happy to take care of garden plants including vegetables, the last soon opens the 5th bud among 12.
Purr, you are allowed to see la maja in a silver coat. I am not brushed by Master F. J. Goya but by mom. Her favorite weather forecaster said yesterday would be one-day spring. Well, did she mean a storm? It rained hard with blue sky just a moment in the afternoon. And at midnight, roaring wind shook us like a typhoon. Meow, she apologizes for the error on TV. No problem it makes.
