Lime Time

Standard

Meow, mom finally made a pie featuring one of my cousins and tequila. With the intention of consuming a bit elder condensed milk by it, she chose less cakes at “Arles” on Wednesday. She also bought a cheese cake mix for crust, rather than recommended graham cracker. Left filling powder was simply made into mousse, above green citrus fruit sliced within.

Second Snow

Standard

We saw above on Friday instead of a rainfall from early this morning. It forced Mei-Shun to cancel horsey-riding lessons, stay indoors all day long. Such a cold, strong wind never lets her feel happy to drive Ms. Scarlet even toward the nearest station. What only makes it is a lovely bird. Are you kind 486 followers able to find her/him in a camellia tree?

Moon Mystery

Standard

Thank you so much, Professor M, who is always the best in taking photos like above. Expecting this celestial body in full shape tonight, Mei-Shun visited the club to dance with Mr. Great Fighter again. Another partner of trot was Ms. Madoka, never changed in slender figure. One of your moms has got slimmer, yet saw a pinch of sugar on a scale after coming home.

Horsey Highness

Standard

Hello, Mr. Great Fighter, nice to dance with you again. Mei-Shun actually came here only 4 times this month. She must have done twice, yet rain/snowfalls, others came up and her own condition prevented it. That means she got on a scale less — to her relief, nice or so-so numbers appeared there. You have never thought about weight control, slender Ms. Ageha=swallowtail butterfly.

Bucket Bouquet

Standard

Here Mei-Shun exchanged vases of Christmas/wedding anniversary and birthday gifts from Shin. The former had fresh roses, carnations and lisianthuses already removed to dry, needs no water any more. Mr. Green is therefore suitable to accommodate it, let the latter relax in a glass tall and large enough. And the owner is so vigorous that brings this vivid, aromatic one to the bedroom every night.

Covert Cut?

Standard

A few years seem to pass after Mei-Shun bought a bucket to put horsey gears within. It has served her by normal jobs; to water outdoor units of air conditioners in summer, to wash cleaning rags for example. Now Mr. Green, could you work as a flower vase for a lovely bouquet Shin gave her recently? He kindly said yes, while making several drops on a plastic sheet.

Too Tired

Standard

So 2023 started for Shin to work from today. Since 元旦=January 1st was amazingly on Sunday, we managed to have 2nd a national holiday. However, 3rd is not printed in red on our new solar calendar meaning a weekday. Many of us therefore had serial holidays from December 29th, 2022 — just 5 days, quite shorter than usual. On the other hand, above husband of Mei-Shun continued his business until the end of last year.

Celebration Continues

Standard

Yes, it does for Mei-Shun until lunar Christmas Day next year. On the other hand, she recognizes that most people in our country immediately turn to new-year preparation after that day on solar calendar. Moreover, many of them take December 24th main — including mom-in-law who replaces garden bells and ribbons by pine branches on 25th.

Nicer Numbers

Standard

We have today a full moon or 十五夜, the one at 15th night on lunar November 15th, while 七五三=7-, 5- and 3-year-old celebration. Mei-Shun takes such a coincidence somehow mysterious — only odd numbers gather on a solar date of an even number. By the way, Shin kindly handed her a box of くろ玉=sweet black balls yesterday. And oh, where have 2 of them already gone?

Keep Kettle

Standard

Even if Ms. Iron is injured, she serves enough for Mei-Shun, a tea lover who chose Chinese gray friends today. Oh, a 茶柱=tea pillar nicely stands in a mug, lets her know something good would happen soon. It might be true or wished to; we have 仏滅=butsu-metsu, the worst among 六曜 while gloomy sky. And slight rainfall began just after she hung futon mats outdoors.
