From On to In

Hi, honey. You feel cold today? Mom does too. Mikan-chan comes into mom’s blanket. That means it is winter-like today. When they take a nap together, she prefers to stay between mom’s legs, covered by a towel blanket in summer. As it gets cooler, she replaces the towel with a wool one, to reach their favorite futon finally in winter.

Yes, here is another shy girl. She surprised Mei-Shun who was taking photo of yellow leaves in this cymbidium pot. They give a unique contrast with flower bud sisters, don’t they? Named “Yellow Card”, sounds a bit dangerous, yet means one of her owner’s favorite colors to put on.

Can you see me?

Tora-chan is getting fluffy little by little these days. We see the great nature in her; she knows well that she has to stay outdoors, eats more to change her coat into winter version. Really a good girl you are.

Not a Weapon

So it is one month before 邦楽発表会. Here is a handmade spear for practice — thank you, Master Mei-Shu. Several of her students have performed Suisen-Tanzen. Well, it seems difficult for normal citizens to keep such items new and clean. Mei-Shun would use it on the roof floor, never to hit Mikan-chan full of curiosity.

Sits Alone

After taking a dental check from 16:00, Mei-Shun went shopping today. It gets dark earlier these days — and a bit cold. Mikan-chan immediately responds to this change. Occupying Lemon for a nap in daytime, she watches mom to jump on her legs in a second. Sorry, darling. Your dad comes home soon …

Mikan-chan really loves this year’s birthday gift. Her other favorite places include: sunny hall toward the roof floor, wooden window frames, mom’s futon mat or blanket, folded bath towels just after laundry, etc. Ohhhh, your smile makes mom feel like joining you, honey.

Come in.

Come in.

I'd love to.

Thank you so much, Professor S. She kindly sent Mei-Shun a delicacy of handmade again. Truly amazing is her technique and sense of beauty to employ such cute rose-shaped crystal beads. And this jade rose represents her warm regards. That must be why it just fits on the little cup behind Mei-Shun’s collarbone.

Here is Omochi-chan again. Mikan-chan found this stool the best place this morning. Yes, it’s cool, honey. Tasty season has come. Chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin, pear, grape and green orange … Oh, mom has to make a reservation to see Dr. M, her home dentist!

I'm steamy.

Congratulations, Mikan-chan. You will be 12 years old on 20th this month. We are so happy to see you like our gifts. Does this bowl help you eat? … Oh? Where are you — in your new bed named Lemon by mom! So much satisfied you look.
