Baked a Bit

Standard

Oh my careless mom. She did it on her right hand, touched a pan dried beside a boiling kettle. Would you like me to help, because you are busy as much as craving mine or 猫の手も借りたい? Well, I prefer basking in sunlight. It hurt, then tiny blisters emerged. Pain has immediately gone thanks to balm grandma gave her. One night sleep made it flat with browner shade.

School Song

Standard

We have 立春=risshun, the 1st of vernal 二十四節気 today. Still freezing outdoors, many children in our country are taught to sing 早春賦. It means an early spring poetry, with lyrics describing a season only by a name. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed 豆まき=roasted soybean spreading yesterday. Such an event at home would give good meals for birdies.

Mild Meow

Standard

So we are at the end of solar January today. Since on Friday, Mei-Shun feels like it still  continues toward weekend, with 節分=setsu-bun on Sunday. Among 4 of it before each beginning of seasonal 二十四節気 including 立春, 立夏, 立秋 and 立冬, the first one on rare February 2nd is the most known because it almost means lunar new year. Oh, how beautiful a 3rd crescent is, floating massive above dark horsey field!

Sweet Soon

Standard

Here Princess Cymby would arrive. Mei-Shun’s orchid ladies including this Highness and Mademoiselle Vert kindly bloom on happy anniversaries; Children’s Day, Christmas Eve/Day, her birthday, etc. That is because you bring Mikan-chan within each flower — is mom right, honey? Since coming 23rd and 24th mean above 2nds on lunar calendar, bright yellow in her eyes would return.

Warm Welcome

Standard

This is the day for me and mom to visit “Arles”. However, we already did it with dad driving Ms. Scarlet on Monday, picked up a Galette des Rois as mom’s birthday cake. We enjoy it, yet nobody has won a fève so far. That is why I wear a golden crown as a temporary queen who reign our family. On the other paw of mine, he departs for Portugal from tonight.

Hello, Horsey

Standard

Great to see you again, Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. Marumorita. This is the 1st lesson here in 2025 for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. It is freezing under gray sky, started to rain in early afternoon when they danced with the latter boy. Oh, getting wet could lead to flu which tortured Shin all through year-end to new-year holidays. May they leave the field earlier, Ms. T?

Community Cats

Mom met them at a tea shop she recently visited for the first time, purr. Since her favorite one was closed months before, she decided to try another nearby when purchased bags of green tea were all consumed. Hi friends, would you like to enter? They never do, even if she opened this slide door. “Oh, please don’t”, the owner lady asked mom who rang a door bell on a desk to call the former.

Wet Well

Standard

So this is the last chance for me and mom to trot with Mr. Danone Caesar in 2024, purr. It seemed to have rained in early morning, nice for garden plants dried for weeks. However, first snow of current winter followed to make us wonder if going out or not.  Finally tried and won that horsey boy, we felt really happy. Our dance with other horseies gets along, giving happier mind these days.

Graceful Green

Standard

Please let Mei-Shun apologize if you kind 522 followers have seen above title here before. It is because she is delighted with Princess Cymby, one of whose flower buds was found open at the cusp this morning. The other is still shorter, takes longer to follow her elder sister. Tiny ants live on them, made her worry that they bite young babies in a pod shell. It was just groundless: they were simply sunbathing.
