Mei-Shun noticed a young apple tree bloom in a light rain this morning. It is mom-in-law who planted it several years before, yet no blossom has been seen so far. We say 桃栗三年柿八年, meaning peach and chestnut take 3 years to bear fruit, persimmon does 8. According to an expert, ume plum follows by 13, pear 15, yuzu citrus 18, table orange 20 and above amazing 25.

Fluffy and Fruity
StandardMeow, it is date of month when I and mom, sometimes dad as well, visit “Arles”. However, it is closed on Tuesdays — as our horsey riding club. That was why we got on Ms. Moon to see artistic sweets there yesterday. Do you kind 527 followers wonder where Ms. Scarlet is? She is under periodic inspection right now, required by regulations. The former silver lady would help us for 2 weeks.

From Light to Bright
StandardI and mom went out this morning to see Mr. Danone Caesar, purr. Our 2nd club who accommodates him has a lot of cherry trees around field and beside; some were already over, others still in blossom. Petals fall onto us like snow in pink gradation, might let us feel like flying upward. By the way, she was so careless that left your cookie at home on a table. I would say sorry on behalf of her.

Fluffy or Furry
Standard“Which do you prefer?” Mei-Shun asked Shin last night when we were still in fiscal 2024. Now 2025 of the same starts, her mind is fixed on the former. It works as a buffer for horseies’ back, set on a fabric pad. She purchased one the other day for Mademoiselle Angel, whose white hair let this rider separate gears between fawn guys and girls including Mr. Marumorita, Ms. Lovely, Mr. MATSURI, etc.
After 9Ys + 52Wks
StandardDr. A gave Mei-Shun a happy phone call saying “yes”. Are you so kind as well, Momo-chan that opened several flowers on Saturday to celebrate this ex-inpatient? Amazing a decade has passed since she left the hospital. Princess Cymby had kept asleep for a few years until her operation was scheduled, then gave the first bud to bloom at home.
Tea Tour
StandardMei-Shun is looking for tea shops where flavorsome green tea is available. Since the nearest and her favorite one was closed, she tried another nearby with lovely cats — yet their tea itself did not suit her palate. Gentle Shin knows it, brought home a bag from 静岡, our biggest prefecture in that agricultural product. Hmm, it seems to be processed by machines, not hands. That does not matter to deliciousness.
Ribbon Riddle
StandardIt was the first and last chance for me and mom to dance with Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. MATSURI this week. She refrains from hard candies these days, caused by her molar troubled a bit. Although fine sweets included in her weight-control methods, they stay in mouth longer than others like cracker, cookie, chocolate, etc. That might be why she saw the most numbers in an year on a scale at night.

Joy of Plum: 4
StandardMei-Shun drove Ms. Scarlet toward another clinic managed by Dr. W today. The former dropped in Tsukuba horsey riding club, watched field condition and asked a lesson change. Now which is the shortest route to reach above lady? Car navigation system chose a lane between orchards of chestnut. Oh, many plum trees bloom in white, while light pink for some.
Joy of Plum: 3
StandardOh, our backyard 梅 opened white flowers. It has got warmer than usual from yesterday, might let it go ahead. This tree is a kind of chimerical, whose solo branch blooms in pink. It is more flamboyant compared to others, yet Mei-Shun prefers the latter. One of reasons is that their buds resemble pearls. They also seem to give softer scent, enter houses with plum lovers.
Pee and Poop(^^;)
StandardHappy Birthday, Mr. Marumorita. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun cordially wish your prosperous 8 years old. Thanks as usual for dancing with them, giving refreshed mood. Here are apples, carrots and cookies. By the way, it is the 2nd time both of above are dropped behind you within space for riding gears to be put on/taken off. Please keep healthy diet, let’s go together.
