Though we have serial hot days since this weekend, fog is often seen in early mornings around here. Mei-Shun found a couple of wild duck swimming together on 乙戸沼 the other day. Softly coated with mist, they looked so romantic. A cormorant stood still on a fountain head. One thing she learned after driving her car for 8 years is that fog lamps work very well in this condition.

Gallop On…
StandardHey, Nero, what a mischievous boy you are. Do not walk out of our lesson circle: watch these markers please. Your job is to stay within them. Mei-Shun knows well you prefer to stroll under trees on such a sunny day. Actually, she would like to join you, yet this is class time. Look, Ms. I and Ms. M asked her how many times you did it. 4 times, she answered. Let’s try a few times next week.
Congratulations?
StandardWillow, gingko and persimmon. It is so nice to see you become greener and greener day by day. Oh, regarding progress, Mei-Shun and Madoka-chan share happy promotion: the former would go up to gallop classes while the latter graduate from training program. Senior instructors gave formal approval to Madoka-chan, yet they did not for Mei-Shun who feels a bit worried about the next lesson …
Eyes Wide Open
StandardMei-Shun has a bit sore throat, took medicine in the morning. It might cause this skill — just 5 millimètres from a marker between pedestrian road and parking space. Unfortunately, she know well what a shock comes on neck when a poll hit a car in rear bumper while a cacophony of scratch. It a kind of moved her that nothing like these would happen at a time of narrow escape.
Pheasants!
StandardHi, darling. Great to see you again, not just hearing from you. And greater luck fell on Mei-Shun today: she saw a couple of pheasant for the first time, just next to our club field. Guys look conspicuous with their red masks these days to find nice girls. The latter have pretty eyes yet too chic in brown polka-dot coats compared to the former. They were relaxed during lessons, while ran away when Mei-Shun got off a horsey.
Always Doubled
StandardHere is twin Kasane-chan, layered babies. They’ve come onto Ms. Piano recently, met with Mei-Shun at one of her favorite pâtisseries Arles. Nobody know if they are either bear or rabbit, even pug or piggy, yet anyway cute creatures have no problem to join her family. Sweet elephants, please get along with these pink friends. Would their ears stand straight when one stop mounting on another?
Rolled Up
StandardSo the end of fiscal 2016 has come. Happy birthday, Professor M. It is Friday, might make business people feel good in the right place. On the other hand, April Fool’s Day looks like a real joke this time: fiscal 2017 starts from a weekend. Oh, Mikan-chan, you neatly sit down with your tail curled around forepaws. Your interest is not in a custom of human beings but in whether mom uses a camera to see you.
Never Rides
StandardHi, Tora-chan, would you join Mei-Shun for shopping? It might be crows who broke your treat plate made of rubber, bought for your kittens. It has four spaces to put baby food respectively for Marimba, Viola, Piano and Harp while you always ate them all by yourself. Has your missing them stopped? Mei-Shun remember well the day when we forced you to say good-bye to them at Dr. O’s clinic.
Let’s Go Out
Standard東山魁夷(=Higashi-yama Kai-i) is one of favorite artists for Shin, Mei-Shun and her late father. Since his works on fusuma, paper sliding door of 唐招提寺 are exhibited at a museum in Mito, they planned to drive there today expecting less crowd. Oh? you have a TV conference from noon? Hum, it is the first of four-day off for him. He would be allowed to do as likened, yet half tomorrow followed by none on Sunday.
Carrot Couple
StandardThey look so cute, don’t they? When Mei-Shun saw them at a green grocery shop, she immediately fell in love. She brought this couple to home, took a photo as follows below and … put them in a basket for Madoka-chan. However, 春一番=haru-ichiban, the first southern wind blew in a speed exceeding 8m/sec. after 立春, prevented her from visiting the club. Actually, she meant to go there yet gave up on the way. Scary sight of yellow “fog” seemed to make anyone feel upset.
