Plentiful Papaya

Standard

So we are on the last day of solar June, while lunar birthday of Shin. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Tsukuba horsey riding club, danced a bit with Mr. Loki after longer than half an year. Oh, are we really in the middle of rainy season? Such perspiration is just like midsummer. Beautiful 6th crescent appeared in dusk sky, resembles a big banana yet above couple enjoyed gold kiwis after supper.

Black a Bit

Standard

There is a gorgeous 合歓木 or silk tree at our Tsukuba horsey riding club. It blooms in lighter shade of Momo-chan, who puts on a bright pink kimono. Mom loves it, yet is not so much a good photographer that her shots hardly catch its exquisiteness enough. I therefore serve you kind 529 followers my image curling on her 半纏 jacket colored similar. Purr … purrr …

Another Appointment

Standard

Here Mei-Shun waits for her hair to dye enough. She actually reserved it on weekend, yet failed 5-minute walk in time. When she checked a planner before noon, it was found one hour earlier! She rushed to a phone, asked the beautician if postponement is available: this technique is the most important, followed by cut and shampoo. Sorry high-heeled pumps, there are too many puddles to put you on today.

Sudden Stop

Standard

Oh, where did you warbler boy stay for a few days? Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun had enjoyed your fledgling song in early mornings. However, it ceased waking them up from around Wednesday. According to an advisor online, those birds live in woods all year long, sing only during breeding season. This human wife has thought you come down from mountains in spring. Have you safely find yours?

Hands Held

Standard

We have 芒種=boshu, the 3rd of summer 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun’s diary also inform her on 蟷螂生 of 七十二候 meaning mantis babies would come out. It therefore does do it, resting at Ms. Scarlet in a car park. Here Mikan-chan and she enjoyed trotting with Mesdemoiselles Angel et Pino, whose sizes are almost the same. Merci beaucoup for easy exchange of riding gears.

Exhausting Effort

Standard

Oh, lovely Princess Maria, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun miss you so much. Please listen, the latter took care of the garden after her husband Shin weeded it by electric cutters. She first put on glasses, yet such exercise made her take them off soon. When she prepared a cup of tea, a chest pocket showed nothing within. Her panicked thumbs finally found them at the bottom of a grass hill.

Petites Paws

Standard

Mei-Shun vacuumed filters of 2 air conditioners; one is in living room where she works when stays at home, the other bed room accommodates. She started from the former, felt a bit relieved at its sight. Turning to the latter, she tried pulling them towards herself — oh, horizontal parts looked dusted more than vertical sifts. She returned to a sofa, opened a lid again above it.

Big Baguette?

Standard

Well, it is udon noodle. Shin, accompanied by Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, drove Ms. Moon toward a restaurant famous for such size. The husband chose one called 田舎うどん, simmered in miso soup; the wife ちからうどん soy-sauce soup poured on, topped with baked rice cakes. It is so thick that nobody would slurp — must cut to bite, using smaller chopsticks.

Cute Caps

Standard

Thanks a million, Mr. Marumorita. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun enjoyed dancing with him today, after a whole month. Pretty Mademoiselle Angel was their first partner, whose steps were half-and-half 速駈歩 or trot-canter. On the other paw of fluffy silver, her mom noticed that triple-time rhythm leading to the fastest gallop is slower than duple, taught after quadruple 常歩.

Amusement Added

Standard

… into sunset violet from night-sky cobalt blue. Oh, beautiful 3rd crescent, great to see you again. This is the last day of solar April, which reminds Mei-Shun of the number Ms. Moon carries — it is like February 29th in leap years only. At Dr. N‘s clinic, patients must input theirs into the system when going under car park gate. Ms. Scarlet never helps above driver in her ivory friend.
