East to West

Standard

Shin visited 一ノ関 last week, brought home a lovely little pear made of 久慈琥珀. On the other hand, one of his clients living in Tottori Prefecture kindly sent a box of those real fruits. Mei-Shun loves both of them; the former is for the wife to put on, the latter 新甘泉 above couple enjoy in each mouth. The husband never forgets souvenirs, with sweets on the top of his list.

Autumnal Attitude

Standard

Princess Cymby has grown a bud in summer, seems a flower one. Mei-Shun recognized something green stayed under moss, yet took it another plant. When watered the throne who serves for those bright yellow Highness, she uncovered it bowing like a seed leaf. Several tiny ants are always walking around it, maybe looking for honey. Would you bring Mikan-chan on petals toward her birthday?

Gecko Glass

Standard

Hi, little friend. Mei-Shun met this house guardian downstairs, precisely behind bathtub lids. She asked mom-in-law to take him/her as a guest after showering for a few days last week. When she stepped down early yesterday morning, an empty bottle of coffee was found holding something within. Well, it might be suitable to accommodate him/her here, while cucumber not on their food list.

Taipei Tabby

Standard

Solar August starts, lunar July from Sunday, purr. Mom e-mailed grandma staying in 草津 this morning to celebrate birthday of the latter — the nicest gift by beloved grandpa, they always say. Dad flew to Taiwan on business yesterday, sent us photos including above. “Please do not disturb, we are at rest”? I understand well, friends outdoors with harness.

Sweet Silver

Standard

I and mom visited our horsey riding club in Tsukuba for the 1st time of the week today. It is the last as well, weekend would be kept for her to watch sumo TV in kimono at home. Why we had to cancel lessons on Monday and Wednesday, would you kind 517 followers wonder? In order to save our lives, we reply. Please do not go outdoors when heat stroke is warned, especially during hottest hours.

Hold Heroine

Standard

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.

XL-L

Standard

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.

Another Advantage

Standard

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?

Pretty Pink

Standard

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.

Funny Fungi

Standard

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?
