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.
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!
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.
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.

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?
おめでとうございます

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.

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.

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.
We are already in winter, yet feel autumn still stays. I and mom enjoy trees putting on jackets of red, yellow, light green and my name color, purr. A gingko in our backyard is slow to change his clothes compared to banana ones along a street toward our horsey riding club. He often sees mom working with this 半纏 kimono coat on, instead of another covered by sushi made of my breed.
