Here 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.
Thank 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.
Mei-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.
Mother 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.
Great 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?
Yes, 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.
Meow, 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 …

Purr, mom stays with me at home all day long. She went out yesterday morning, came back around tea time. Her oden simmered vegetables and fish balls are in a pot, continued to be boiled in dashi soup while added other ingredients. It became her meal after getting on a scale. What is the reason for your smile? Meow, a small bag would be taken from a 桜葛湯 box as dessert.

Above is the 3rd gift from Shin to Mei-Shun, from which he won a cock-shape fève. 4th is a cute pair of crystal cats; bigger one is mom, smaller another is Mikan-chan, according to dad. And a warm message via e-mail from mother arrived in the morning, while a pretty basket full of spring flowers at night from Professor M. Oh, the 1st full moon of 2022 appeared in the sky.
