Thanks a million from Mei-Shun to you kind 464 followers. She found it on weekend, felt like you are saying yo-ro-shi-ku or “take care of us hereafter”. Although lacking 9 at last to read “ku” in our language, she would expect the next with 10 new guests rather than 10 times. Now we seem to enter a bit delayed rainy weeks in spring called 菜種梅雨=natane-tsuyu.

Fascinating Finish
StandardSo this is the end of our fiscal year, the same of lunar February and birthday of Professor M. Mei-Shun visited her horsey riding club for practice of canter today. It is really great to do it under 80% cherry blossom, her favorite for 染井吉野. Momo-chan, our garden princess is also in similar level, looks like dancing in a gorgeous kimono. Mademoiselle Vert opened her first bud.
Cute Cure
StandardThanks a lot, Princess Maria. Mei-Shun did not feel very good in the morning, took medicine and a rest for a while. Getting better, she got on Ms. Scarlet. Dancing outdoors with a lovely horsey works best, let her recover in just a few hours. And sweet Mikan-chan, coming home to find your peaceful smile is always exultation of mom. Oh-oh, Dr. A kindly left her phone a “Yes” message.
Slow Spring
StandardHere Momo-chan, our garden princess gave the 1st flower in 2022. Mei-Shun loves this season when the former becomes a forerunner of 染井吉野 cherry blossom. The latter made a phone call to mother the other day, learned that “grandma” tree of above peach has already bloomed 30%. Yes, southern Tokyo always receives earlier message from flowers than northern Ibaraki.
Tea Time
StandardThank you so much, Professors. Mei-Shun received 銀のすず=silver bells made of sweetened bean paste and chocolate from Prof. K yesterday, while Prof. M would kindly drop in her place tonight. Oh, Prof. S living in Sendai sent her lovely items including a birthday card which accommodates a tiny piano last month: immediately after he accepted a box of chocolates from her.
Bloom Soon
StandardMei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine after longer than 3-month interval. Thanks to slight rain at night a few days before, rice paddy still empty has several little pools. Going up narrow stairs, she found a cherry tree somehow in soft pink. Well, it would not take 20 days to show lovely petals. By the way, all the same combination of omikuji lots met her with 半吉=han-kichi and 末吉=sue-kichi.
Spring Scent
StandardMother recently sent Mei-Shun several images of flowers newly bloomed in her garden. Above is 馬酔木=asebi, Japanese andromeda given by mom-in-law. The latter grew a gorgeous tree at previous home where Shin lived until marriage, yet did not move it toward her current place. Now one of its children is cared enough like her daughter-in-law.
Precious Princess
StandardGreat to see you again, Maria-chan. Mei-Shun really worried about you when she heard you might be sick in upper legs. However, such feeling never works since many good staffs always take care of you. She has received no message from them so far, it would mean a fine result. Now you are ready to dance with her, shall we go into the hall made of sand?
Christmas Cherry
StandardYes, it blooms indoors. Or Mei-Shun means that one called 啓翁桜=keio-sakura, grown mainly in Yamagata is displayed at a peanuts and soba noodle shop. She accompanied Shin, who needs several more pants getting a bit bigger tyre around his waist, dropped in above restaurant for lunch yesterday. A plum tree full of pink buds also saw them on the way to and from there.
Smart & Sweet
StandardMeow, I’ve learned how to use potty pads. Mom brought them last night, spread several on the floor to prevent me from making pools. All right, I’ll try one to spare your time to clean them up … hmm, it is not bad, quite easy. May I make it normal? You prefer rest rooms, I see. Anyway, my good usage of both the pad and rooms is worth licking tasty sticks, isn’t it? Purr … purrr …
