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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
… 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.
Mei-Shun noticed a young apple tree bloom in a light rain this morning. It is mom-in-law who planted it several years before, yet no blossom has been seen so far. We say 桃栗三年柿八年, meaning peach and chestnut take 3 years to bear fruit, persimmon does 8. According to an expert, ume plum follows by 13, pear 15, yuzu citrus 18, table orange 20 and above amazing 25.
A weather forecaster recently said that 2025 染井吉野 cherry bloomed as usual, yet took longer toward full blossom thanks to chill, snowy days. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun therefore enjoyed them on 2 weekends while the husband repaired a flowerless tree indoors to hang coats. The wife is happy to clean up his study floor occupied by a pile of shirts and bags.
Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun found peach trees in a queue, along a lane toward Tsukuba horsey riding club. The latter driver of Ms. Scarlet saw them bloom as heading there, yet gave up photos because they are on her left side. After enjoying dance with Mr. Marumorita, here they are just on the right. Be careful not to involve cars pass by, watch traffic light.
