Tender Tears

Standard

Here Mei-Shun cleaned up a verandah floor. She newly purchased a brush with this purpose: above had turned green at edge, covered by moss perhaps. A slight rainfall made it easier for her; thanks a million, sky in the shade of Mikan-chan’s coat. It returned original ash gray. Now her mom wishes following Asian dust from continent not to dye it yellow.

Pajama Party

Standard

… Mei-Shun enjoyed after a big lunch with M-chan on weekend. The latter often chooses restaurants which serve a bit too much for the former aunt: makes her live on rice porridge next day. However, such custom came earlier this time – she felt starved around midnight. A warm bath might help her digestive tract; it required more carbohydrate, in order to clean itself up within.

Peaceful Purr

Standard

I and mom came to our Tsukuba horsey riding club, for a real exercise today. Mademoiselle Angel, great to see you again. Clouds of my coat collour cover all over the sky, getting dark. When she finished preparation for a lesson, a light sound started; something many and little beat locker hut roof. Oh, weather forecasts said it would be in the evening.

Apology for Ambiguity

Standard

Good morning, 24th crescent. Mei-Shun sees too many clouds these days, to find this celestial beauty at 5:00; when she gets up, puts socks on then opens curtains. Gray cotton balls appeared in an hour, accompanied by dim sunlight. That is why she sung moonlight scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven with Ms. Piano. By the way, sooo sorry for a photo of poor quality.

Round Rice

Standard

Mei-Shun nearly forgot 丸餅 cakes stored in Ms. Cuby, her refrigerator. They were cooked into 雑煮 soup on 元旦 of course, yet most of them often wait for other dishes later. Grilled ones nicely friend with salty/sweet ingredients; 海苔 sheets, soy sauce, cheese, sugar and simmered red beans. Oops, 3 pieces were connected like a “3” shape – a bit too big to dip.

Moist Mercy

Standard

It rains hard from early morning today. Mei-Shun heard that reservoir capacity is quite smaller than usual, only a bit above 30% in some dams connected with Tonegawa river. It therefore must be marvelous, yet no moon or horsey riding is available for herself. And oh, it is getting more and more stormy; no shopping either. All right, she would start singing moonlight scores on one of her home friends.

2-2-2

Standard

Yes, we would soon see the day of our breed, purr. By the way, mom got a phone call from a police station: an officer asked when the photo she submitted the other day was taken. Actually, another asked her all the same question at that time. “What is going on?” she complained to dad. “Well, you looked too young at your age,” he replied smiling. “Some people try to use years-before images.”

Paw Pad

Standard

… artificial cats called this morning, on Mei-Shun’s mobile phone. Aha, it is because of February 9th, read 肉球=niku-kyu in numbers by our mother tongue. Precisely 2-9-9, yet there is no 29th month or 99th date; both on solar and lunar calendars. It is better anyway to stay home for her daughter currently on Princess Cymby with 17 flowers, and herself today.

Blew, Blown

Standard

It was quite warm yesterday, while windy again today. After finishing tasks at home, Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. She dropped in a tiny lottery stand nearby, yet it was closed – must be open from 10:30-16:30. Mom-in-law gave Shin a bundle of year-end one, which seems to win the same price. All right, she would wait another chance. By the way, why a broken futon peg lies in our garden?

Snowy Shrine

Standard

Have you kind 528 followers already greeted Gods during 三が日? Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun did on 2nd after seeing mother of the wife. A maiden in white kimono and red 袴=hakama pants sat beside a big omikuji box, handed them all the same lots; No. 30 末吉=the least lucky. They always bind such slips onto a tree branch, tried again on Sunday to see 吉=lucky.
