Hey, Nero, what a mischievous boy you are. Do not walk out of our lesson circle: watch these markers please. Your job is to stay within them. Mei-Shun knows well you prefer to stroll under trees on such a sunny day. Actually, she would like to join you, yet this is class time. Look, Ms. I and Ms. M asked her how many times you did it. 4 times, she answered. Let’s try a few times next week.

Petits Cactus
StandardOhhhh, you are so cute. This breed survives freezing winter in our garden, grows these little babies on each “leaf” around 八十八夜=hachiju-hachi-ya, 88th day after 立春 when the last frost might cover the ground, every year. You might not feel better than a few days before — it remains raining all day today, with continued cold air from yesterday. Expected 十五夜 full moon cannot see you tonight.
Never Read
StandardThis is my intention. Mom shouldn’t have left me alone. She tries to bend down on newspapers even after coming home. No, you cannot, hiss! Brush me, look at me eating and hold me. That’s it, purr. It is cool today, a bit freezing for me. I had to stay in the restroom twice in the morning. Now it’s getting better. Meow, what’s this blue one? Iris, you went out to see them at 乙戸沼 Park.

Lively Chorus
StandardHere are our tulips. They have closed petals at night, straighten toward the sky as the sun rises higher. Mei-Shun once heard that it has to grow in height and size little by little to find the sun every morning. However, nobody have seen it replace peony. It might because they have leaned their optimal looks respectively, loved by human beings.
Lunar April
StandardIt starts from today, meaning the best day to wish. Mei-Shun’s is good health of course, with her stumbled weight management. Recent omikuji lots said that she would recover from the disease even if she has trouble right now. Or that the disease she has suffered from for a long time would turn to better direction. Well, it might be a disease. Not only her efforts but science would be the best medicine.
Edible Flower?
StandardWould you see what flower it is? It is broccoli, gave us tasty buds all though March, ending in such a lovely shape. Oh, here comes our garden cat. Hi, honey, thanks for your good job. You look staying among flowers at night these days, Shin told Mei-Shun the other day. Does that mean you decided to play the role of Fuku-chan, who sleeps next to Black Tea rose?
Welcome Back
StandardMei-Shun planted 蝋梅=robai, Chimonanthus praecox babies in the garden. They are called wintersweet or Japanese allspice as well, one of her late father’s favorite flowers. Her mother loves plants while an earnest caregiver. With a garden full of memories, she has raised peach, rose, wisteria, bush clover and so on. These twins are expected to follow Princess Momo-chan.
Always Doubled
StandardHere is twin Kasane-chan, layered babies. They’ve come onto Ms. Piano recently, met with Mei-Shun at one of her favorite pâtisseries Arles. Nobody know if they are either bear or rabbit, even pug or piggy, yet anyway cute creatures have no problem to join her family. Sweet elephants, please get along with these pink friends. Would their ears stand straight when one stop mounting on another?
Sakura Bouquet
StandardMei-Shun loves cherry flower blooming directly on trunk. It seems like saying “here you are” to viewers. She sometimes touches them softly, enjoys cold and fresh feeling. And oh, 乙戸沼 gingko babies, you are ready to grow. When they become awake, each branch might put on green air which soon change into real leaf buds. Ours in backyard is a slow starter, not yet … what, you too already?
Sleepy Spring
StandardPurr, nap on mom’s blanket (more precisely, between her legs) is one of my favorite. It’s too windy today to hang futon mats outdoors, she murmured in the morning. Do you have any problem? I’m free to slide into or relax on them anytime. Oh, let me introduce my new friend Mammal-kun. He came our home on Sunday after dad and mom left me alone half a day. Sniff-sniff, how do you do?
