Sleepy All Day

Standard

Accidents could occur, sometimes without any reason. Today’s Mikan-chan is so peaceful on a cushion. Hi, Omochi-chan, how do you feel? Or did you know why yesterday? Even your bites might be caused by anything. Well, well.

Still Green

Standard

Our roof garden now has 5 mini-tomatoes. A little green mantis lives there. When we water them, he jumps out of the pod, run into another one. He is too quick to take a photo — hey, friend, why don’t you stay on the fruit? It would give us more charming shots.

Following Babies

Standard

Amazing. How many grapefruit seeds did Mei-Shun plant? They took 2 weeks more to come out than the first one. Oh, you are twins. Would you like more space? And you are too close to your eldest sister — do we have to remove such little, cute ones?

Roof Vegetables

Standard

Shin started to cultivate vegetables on our roof floor. Tomatoes and cucumbers have bloomed in one month, yet corns look a bit sick. They grow too fast to keep themselves healthy? We hope the phosphate fertilizer would work well — hey, pretty guardian, please let mom take their photo.

Grapefruit Baby

Standard

桃栗三年柿八年、柚は九年で花盛り、梅は酸い酸い13年、柚のばかめは十八年

Peach and chestnut trees take three years to bear fruits. Persimmon does eight years while yuzu orange nine years to bloom. Ume plum takes thirteen years to give their sour fruits, and orange the longest eighteen years.

So did our garden princess, we expect this one grows up to become a fruitful tree. Oh, please find green-necklaced babysitters.

Swallow babies

Standard

Hello, friends. We are so happy to see you again. This is their fixed dwelling place, at the entrance of a supermarket. A wise couple knows that it is easy to feed their children here, lit up even after sunset. Mei-Shun cannot stop visiting them every day until they’re grown up enough to leave the nest.

A Pot Cat

Standard

Tora-chan likes to rest in a plant pot these days. It might work as a stomach warmer in the morning, facing east. Her tabby coat looks so much harmonized with the soil that we are surprised when she jumps toward us at the porch.

Taller than Daddy

Standard

Our baby avocado is very flexible. In sunny morning, he tries to face to the east. As the sun comes up toward the south, he turns to the right. Mei-Shun changes place of their pot, expecting his straight growth.

Door to Roof

Standard

This season has come – when we start using air-conditioners, Mikan-chan flees up to the roof floor. We feel too hot there, yet she prefers such temperature. Ah, that is because your ancestors have come from North Africa – Libyan wild cats, isn’t it?

Long-Lashed Lady

Standard

Mikan-chan has a pedigree certification. However, she looks much smaller than stereo-typed Russian Blue breed. Her round face, soft muzzle line and fluffy coat, all different from the ones awarded in cat shows. Well, does it matter? She is the prettiest in the world for us. And that is all.
