和月 or Composure Crescent this tiny restaurant is named. Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited there, where loyal agricultural clients of the husband offered as good and no-smoking. Here subtle 先付け starter is served followed by a 徳利 sake bottle. Oh, how smooth the way it goes down! “It is quite difficult for us these days to purchase it”, the owner chef told them.

Joy of 砥部
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun traveled Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture on weekend. Since the clumsy wife hurt a lovely mug she fell in love at a glance last year, she asked her dexterous husband to visit the same shop again. Now are you still here, Mademoiselle Violette? “Yes” is your reply, accompanied by a graceful little sister Md. Rosée.
Mt. Morning
StandardWelcome back to Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. They mean Ms. Moon who was injured by this careless wife at the end of solar September, left a “hospital” in the same month yet on lunar calendar. Please listen, her favorite sumo wrestler won 初日 today at 九州場所. On the other paw of above fluffy baby, she failed tickets to see him fight on 土俵 ring of Fukuoka.
Vivid Vitamin
StandardMei-Shun decided to call gift bouquet from Shin Mademoiselle Fleurs. In order to keep her longevity, bigger roses must be hung first to dry. Sunshine followed by breeze would help them. It also let Mikan-chan and her mom dance with another lady in white coat, while not on a stage still a bit wet. Nice perspiration might be the best medication. Oh, Ms. Scale agrees saying “eat more”.
Frost Falls
StandardWe have 霜降=soko, the 6th and last of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It really does — Mei-Shun asked Mr. Air Conditioner to warm rooms. She heard a weather forecaster talk about fragrant olives, who began to let our noses identify them just from Monday. He said that it is getting later and later, year by year caused by longer summer. Well, above machine worked as cooler 10 days before.
Admired Alone
StandardShin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine together on weekend, after months. Fragrant olive gave them nice scent: that made them look for those trees in bloom. One was planted in the middle of a garden, others seem to be guardians at open gates. Now what luck Gods provide the family? 大吉=the luckiest for the husband, 吉=lucky the wife received.
Optimistic October
StandardYes, solar one started with a quiet rainfall. Nice watering for garden plants, genuine 雨読 Mei-Shun enjoys at home. She reserved a lot more horsey-riding lessons meaning 晴耕 than long, torrid summer: it arrived as early as the middle of June, continued until yesterday. From now on, good sleep and appetite would require sanguine control in both mind and body.
Summer Soup
StandardWelcome back from Canada, Shin, via Kyoto. He caught a cold, yet seems to have recovered on board thanks to virus-free air. Mei-Shun cooked 冬瓜 gourd, one of this couple’s favorite vegetables. Do you kind 529 followers wander why it has winter in name? Kept fresh until freezing season in storage is the reason. Autumnal 季語 for haiku includes it as well.
Shiny Silver
StandardMei-Shun noticed that her passport and driver’s license will expire soon; the former at the end of March 2026, the latter in mid February. She makes it a kind of rule to take required photos putting on kimono. Her allergy between clavicles has avoided it so far, yet is healing little by little thanks to good medication. Cooler air came into Kanto region, would help her in near future.
Elegant Eyes
StandardHello, Mr. MATSURI or Monsieur Fête. You were the 1st partner after Mei-Shun’s 11 days of no dance — Mikan-chan is quite satisfied as well. It is amazing yet normal that sunset got earlier, already dark when they left the club. Oh, how nice shower is returning home! Now what would Ms. Scale say regarding her 晴読 for above period? Excellent, thanks to let her go on.
