This is a day in a month for me and mom to visit “Arles“. Gentle dad joined us today purr, on 2024 Marine Day by chance. Shall we go further to see the sea? Well, his relaxation at home is the most important. Oh, we see a 十日夜の月=to-kan-ya-no-tsuki, 10th-night moon behind a thin cloud. It might be the 1st time since we found her in the 3rd crescent last week.

Shin puts on sweats with long sleeves on his days off, while normal shirts on business even in midsummer. It had therefore been a bit difficult for Mei-Shun to find such clothes at stores, yet online shopping is available these days. She recently received his short sleeve T-shirts; they would become her horsey riding “jackets”, big enough to work as a handkerchief.
Here Mei-Shun keeps lovely bags of rice cracker. These sparrows came from Osaka where Shin visited on business — 2 weeks have already passed since he brought them home. Compared to sweets from 能登 and 名古屋, they taste best for longer until August. And they are able to work as our staple food, simply mentioned by name. Now which would she choose tonight?
Hello again, lady’s tresses. Mei-Shun loves this flower who shares microorganisms with lawn. Thanks to recent humid air, Shin gives up mowing half of our garden. He never cares other plants grow there, while another half is treated by mom-in-law. And she discarded “natural arrangement” in a pot her daughter-in-law brought downstairs during repaint of our house walls.
They always comes between Mei-Shun’s teeth including space to accommodate artificial Ame-chans; simmered enoki mushroom flavored by soy sauce, fried bean sprout with tonkatsu sauce, are meant. Shin fairly loves them, who force his wife to use brush and dental floss afterward. Darling, didn’t Mr. Danone Caesar see anything in mom’s mouth this morning, did he?
Mademoiselle Vert, my wings finally spread in full just a week before. “She is more beautiful than ever”, says mom making dad and herself take delight. Light green flowers brightened by yellow reminds them of my eyes, purr. Almost the same in size, 9 on each branch. Yes, her excellent figure represents power to grow. Evolution could have occurred in a little pot.

We have 芒種=boshu, the 3rd of summer 二十四節気 today. 11th flower of Mademoiselle Vert opened in early morning sunshine, greeted Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan. Are you ready to say お誕生日おめでとう, happy birthday to dad with 12th on the other branch tomorrow? They heard from mom that 3 calyxes and 3 petals make up each of you.
Meow, mom’s favorite tea shop, 3-minute walk from the nearest station, will be closed soon. More precisely, one of branches whose headquarters is located in Tsuchiura. Another store in Tsukuba came to an end a few years before. On the other paw, supermarkets she goes for daily shopping are in Ami Town. Which places shall we visit to purchase 新茶 in 2025?

We have 小満=shoman, the 2nd of summer 二十四節気 today. They say はしり梅雨, forerunner rainy season is often seen in western part of our country, while eastern area Mei-Shun’s family live had such a phenomenon. Heavy rain continued from early morning made horsey riding field rice paddy, with no harvest expected. That might be why Mr. Loki danced just a few steps.
… and purr. Dear kind followers, please let me apologize to you on behalf of mom who was a bit absent from here. I’ve come back to her Wednesday evening, upon the first flower of Mademoiselle Vert this year — with my another wing tags along in a bud. And greeted dad by popping up two petals at night. She stayed at home all day long, he worked in Sapporo.
