Morning Moons

Standard

… I and mom cannot find these days. Could you kind, current 511 followers tell us why? Or Professor M, who is the best photographer of that celestial beauty? Dictionaries online explain about her orbit around our Mother Earth, the reason why her shapes change. Hmm, 29th waning crescent might stay below next-door neighbor’s roof this morn, purr.

Sturgeon Smile?

Standard

Thanks a million, Professor M. He kindly sent Mei-Shun above image from Egypt – saying 有明の月 seen at dawn. Photo information in the latter’s mobile phone shows 6:49, Saturday. Did he have breakfast under this purple sky? It seems quite earlier. With 7 hours behind there, it could not be our time. Or 20:25, Sunday arrival of his message matters?

Nice Nagoya

Standard

Lunar July starts from today, with obon holidays on solar calendar. It would be full of typhoon effects, followed by approaching Nangka. Sky changes color one after another; blue, white, light/dark gray. That is why Shin imposed a “curfew” for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Thanks a million, Yuko-san, who kindly sent them closed at home a box of 残暑見舞い=late summer gift.

Cute Cherry

Standard

Happy birthday, Professor M. He had traveled around continents on business, returned our country last week. Mei-Shun actually sent him an arrangement cherry branches are included during his trip – a flower shop in charge informed her on his absence at home. “All right, we would try again by another for free”, the owner said via phone. Oh, amorous Freesia refracta is attending spring princess.

Crescent Crop

Standard

We would expect a 上弦 half moon tonight, while it continues to rain hard from yesterday. Mei-Shun stays home for usual tasks, practiced scores featuring that celestial beauty on Ms. Piano. Shin returned earlier, enjoyed supper before the wife received a food delivery box. How artistic these green bananas are, yet less than photos Professor M takes.

Meow, Meow

Standard

Solar February 2026 started from Sunday. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, we are on the 1st Monday while calling 2. 2 to mean her sweet voice twice. Mei-Shun received 2 postcards tonight from Kaori-san and Noriko-san respectively; the former attached to a bag of sugary 黒豆 black beans. Both are cat lovers; 2 girls were kept by the latter. Reunion is cordially wished soon, attended by Yuko-san as well.

Might Miss

Standard

Mei-Shun sent Kaori-san a box of Christmas cookies, when the former visited Tokyo Station last week. She left a greeting card at home, no message conveyed. However, above charming picture book arrived from the latter artist – with a note asking no reply. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, lunar November starts from tomorrow with 大安=tai-an, the best among 六曜.

Splendid Summer

Standard

Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun missed you, Mr. MATSURI. Rainfall, heatstroke alert and allergy for her mom prevented them from trying dance again with the gentlest horseies including him, Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. Marumorita. It is nicely cool today, made preparation quite easier. Hereafter toward the middle of September, one instructor and student would share only 30-minute lesson a day with one horsey.

Great Guys?

Standard

Mei-Shun took finger exercise on Ms. Piano before enjoying lunch with Professors A and M. Master J. Pachelbel, she is really delighted to see you again after your attractive “Kanon” was inducted into her Hall of Fame. Please listen, above former gentleman is like father of the latter and her. He told his “children” smiling, that he was recently designated as the chairman of a local silver club.

Happy Honey

Standard

Here he comes, St. Valentine. It might be one of the sweetest days for Mei-Shun to express her gratitude toward dear gentlemen. Or ladies of course, including her mothers, sisters, friends, etc. She ordered delicious chocolates as usual, while had to stay home through a whole week caused by a cold with a cough. What is the best way to deal with these 2 boxes left behind?
