乙戸沼 Park also features irises right now. They have a lot of banners stand along flower field. On the other hand, 小石川後楽園 simply hangs a poster on the front gate. A wide pond with lotuses floating on surface helps commodious sight of the former while the latter is served by a unique looks of Tokyo Dome roof. Oh, we can see the moon in daylight between artificial and natural whites in the sky.
Here she is. Don’t you kind followers think her eyes are pretty? Not only her looks but her heart is the sweetest. Mei-Shun is so much fond of this lady, would like Madoka-chan to learn a lot from her. Now, she was too busy today, Rubinstein, a friendly guy in a unique mask patterned like a cow, played Mei-Shun’s partner. Thanks a million for helping her gently in gallop lessons.
Hey, Nero, what a mischievous boy you are. Do not walk out of our lesson circle: watch these markers please. Your job is to stay within them. Mei-Shun knows well you prefer to stroll under trees on such a sunny day. Actually, she would like to join you, yet this is class time. Look, Ms. I and Ms. M asked her how many times you did it. 4 times, she answered. Let’s try a few times next week.
They watered rice paddy at the beginning of this Golden Week. It seems to take a few days to calm down ground surface, because planting of young rice started from yesterday. Mei-Shun enjoys looking such process to grow our dietary staple, walking along a lane through baby greens. Oh, here comes a wild duck couple. A beautiful white egret as well, joining pheasants and swallows.
Not of the valley though, our first one bloomed recently at the foot of Momo-chan going into green. From the beginning of solar April, our eyes have enjoyed pink represented by her of course while various cherries in public places, followed by current white including 姫空木 mother and daughter. Blue of wisteria soon, iris a little later will replace them. And rose, queen of flower would fill us with pleasure at 旧古河庭園.
Following magnolia, 雪柳=yuki-nanagi, literally snowy willow began to bloom. Now much of our attention is on 染井吉野 cherry blossom, Mei-Shun prefers 大島桜. Each flower of the latter is a bit bigger than the former, color of petal is all white. She loves white flowers including roses, tulips and 萩=hagi, bushclover. Lotuses are added on this list after she visited 熱川 on weekend.
Shin and Mei-Shun visited 熱川 yesterday to see the only Amazonian manatee kept in our country. Net news said he is around 50 years old, came to a botanical garden there in 1969 yet has no name so far. Oh, we cannot call such a cute creature? Voice of his fans lead to public soliciting of his nickname. We have to appear in person to cast our ballots? All right, we would love to.
Our garden princess looks making her buds bigger and more fluffy. When you take a careful look at them, baby petals are found within silver coverings. Their color is … oh? Melon means not only a name of fruit but “bright pink”? How amazing and interesting it is to see another sense in a common word! Anyway, we are expecting her gorgeous performance in full bloom soon.
Maria is snowy white. Hentil is chestnut brown. When they are selected for lessons, Mei-Shun feels happy while a bit exhausted thinking about treatment of her buffer — it is navy. Many of our horseies including Madoka-chan are normal or dark brown, which requires easy wiping. She plans to purchase horsey tools little by little in orange, chocolate brown and navy. Her next target has been a gel pad or fake fur buffer, yet another buffer in lighter color might be necessary.
Mom-in-law recently gave up her driver’s license. That means she got off from our chauffeur list. Mei-Shun, who enjoyed good German beer and wine tonight, therefore employed 代行さん= daiko-san meaning substitute drivers for the first time. She does not want anyone other than family members to drive her own car, while mom-in-law’s is now free and looks lonely. Why don’t she utilize him? This idea worked well with kind staffs, reasonable price and safe coming home.
