He is so gentle that unskillful riders including Mei-Shun would be accepted. He never gets angry even if another horse approaches from behind too much. Only cacophony of airplane engines could make him frightened a little. Thanks to him and beautiful cherry blossom, Mei-Shun seems being relieved gradually from trauma made when she fell from Dreamer.

Her Boyfriend
StandardDora-chan, perhaps father of Tora-chan’s four kittens, is often seen in our garden these days. Yes, that season has come. We often hear him call Tora-chan at night, find his marking on the front door. Hi, Mr. Deck Brush, it is your turn to work. We would like to have him neutered, yet he never let us approach within a circle 6 feet in diameter around him.
Quiet Rain
StandardIt was freezing this morning, representing 三寒四温 of this season with a drizzle in which nobody except for Mei-Shun uses umbrellas in her family. Oh, Tora-chan, you are kind enough to follow her to the garbage collection point. Please keep yourself dry under the eaves.
Good Guys
StandardMs. I, Mei-Shun’s favorite instructor in horseback riding, gave a phone call. Yes, she misses you and lovely horses so much so far — the red eye has prevented her from attending the classes. Now that it’s 95% healed, she hopes to see them on coming Friday.
Scent of Arabia
StandardPlease take the most profound gratefulness of Mei-Shun, Professor S. This bottle accommodates a perfume from the Sultanate of Oman, called “tarha” meaning a bride’s veil in Arabic. Three respectful professors of the University of Tsukuba kindly held a birthday party for Mei-Shun last Saturday; January 13th on the lunar calendar. The same restaurant they met last year served two glasses of beer instead of wine.
Oh, Marilyn
StandardNot that famous actress, a lovely horse girl. She is honest in lessons, patient enough to carry such an unskillful rider as Mei-Shun. On the other hand, she is so charming and friendly, a little bit mischievous once leaving the ground. Yes, we know you do not like to be squeezed by a saddle belt. Please stop yawning 8 times after that.
Narcissus Featured
StandardKaori-san, how kind of you to draw Mei-Shun in Suisen-Tanzen performance on the letter of winter greeting! Thanks a million. She put it on Ms. Piano to attract her for practice as much as possible. It is working well, they say with smile.
Uniquely Shaped
StandardProfessor S. is generous enough giving Mei-Shun another necklace — we had an year-end dinner. Her beads choice is always perfect. Please see these pearls as good examples. They might be a bit deformed, while look like lovely snowmen, fox faces and tadpoles who are kindly economical as well.
Just to See You
StandardIt rained this morning. Mei-Shun had reserved a class, while insured it by carrots for horses in case it got harder — and it worked. After postponing her class to tomorrow evening, she visited the stable. Hi, guys. Did you have good breakfast? Here is a little treat for you.
Flowers for Piano
StandardThis bouquet from Shin has pleased us so much so far, yet roses are quite delicate. They look so tired that Mei-Shun gave them a cut-and-clean treatment. Here is one vase accommodating half of them, to get along with Ms. Piano. She missed her only player for a while, just kept herself neat and quiet.
Hi, friends.
