Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun missed you, Mr. MATSURI. Rainfall, heatstroke alert and allergy for her mom prevented them from trying dance again with the gentlest horseies including him, Mademoiselle Angel and Mr. Marumorita. It is nicely cool today, made preparation quite easier. Hereafter toward the middle of September, one instructor and student would share only 30-minute lesson a day with one horsey.

Lace Ladies
StandardSolar July starts, expecting rainfalls which we have not seen since the latter half of previous month. Mei-Shun is getting better for right arm, had almost no problem putting on long sleeves yesterday. She recognized a bit green sky and colder wind in the afternoon, took futon mats and blankets into bedroom. Thunderstorm soon followed, kindly watered dry plants.
Fluffy Tummy
StandardMei-Shun saw her allergy around clavicles grow downward a bit this morning, added ointment sighing. Well, since both Dr. I and N work at their dermatologic clinic today, either lady would give good advice. Cloudy weather, slight fever let her take household medicine and a nap. Feeling better, she checked her neck before getting on Ms. Scarlet — no flush, shopping only then.
Shape and Shade
StandardMei-Shun’s mother gave her younger daughter photos taken in her garden. Oh, lovely cactus flowers — “they only bloom for a day”, she said. It seems to all depend; direct from green balls in pale pink, same while bright yellow, orange with long stalks. By the way, hydrangeas start growing buds here and there. Lace-cap one living at our southeastern corner is daily checked.
Treasure Tail
StandardIt is great pleasure for me and mom to thank you kind 528 followers on a date of all the same numbers, purr. We visited Tsukuba horsey riding club as usual Wednesdays, enjoyed dancing with Mr. Marumorita. There is a mulberry tree beside our field, bearing a lot of fruits. A couple of raccoons came the other day for tea time perhaps, stayed during lessons.

Sleepy Sweet
StandardWe have 小満=shoman, the 2nd of summer 二十四節気 today. Quite torrid like in July, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun visited Tsukuba horsey riding club after a whole week; wet weather prevented them from coming here, dancing with Mr. Marumorita. Fly armours seem to work so well that he kept peaceful. Now how has such perspiration served for her weight? A scale gave one of the best numbers.
Cute Caps
StandardThanks 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.
Joy of Appetite: 1
StandardMei-Shun dined with niece M-chan this evening. The former saw her home dentist Dr. M in the morning, dropped in a bakery. Since she overslept to pass breakfast, nice lunch pleased her refreshed teeth and mouth. Now which superb menu would follow here? Garlic shrimp is recommendation of the latter lovely, all right. Attached is a glass of tea lemonade whose color would change …
First Flower
StandardMei-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.
Wonderful Walk
StandardIt really is, even if Mei-Shun caught a cold. Sore throat followed by running nose, or stuffed up during bedtime. Such condition is not suitable for driving, let alone dancing with horseies. Missing Mademoiselle Angel, Mr. Marumorita, Mr. White Mocha and other sweethearts, she went out on foot. With nice wind, taking 5 times longer than by car, it would let her enjoy 名古屋 souvenir from Shin.
