Autumn brings a happiness to Mei-Shun. As she sits on the sofa, Mikan-chan immediately comes onto her lap. Still in August, we have been enjoying cool weather from yesterday. It seems a bit too soon, yet it would be hot and humid again in a few days. Let’s make a good preparation in mind and body, baby.
Sweet smile
Torrid weather gives us good chances to enjoy water melons. Vertical cut is normal for them, yet Mei-Shun had a little dream — yes, a horizontal cut to make the sweetest disk. And this morning, her dream finally came true. Thank you, Shin. He ordered it to a corporation called Tele-farm. They grow organic fruits and vegetables based on customers’ command via PC.
Before
After
Mei-Shun has enough HDL cholesterol in blood, a bit higher than average. Dr. A always jokes calling it “tasty blood”. Well, it might be tomato juice that circulates within her body. And T-Bil is as well a little higher. Is it why she has often been asked if she ate too much oranges?
Shin recommended Mei-Shun to take a trial lesson of horseback riding. She is so happy to see that clever animal, which many fanciers are unable to own. Reserved date is September 4th. All right, a good goal for her diet. The lighter she is, the more they would like her.
Tora-chan was waiting for Mei-Shun at the porch this morning. She gently meowed asking a treat. Oh, your leg has recovered from the injury. You lost a little weight, didn’t you? All right, eat as much as you like. Purrrrr …
Mikan-chan had a better result in a urinary check today. It is so much a pleasure for mom, yet she cannot stop worried about Tora-chan. Maybe she has a fever caused by the injured leg. Crispy foods should be shelved for a while, retort-pouch ones would be preferred. Dr. O prescribed an antibiotic powder to take twice a day. We sincerely hope they work.
… for a whole day. We saw her bend the right, rear leg yesterday. It looked clear that she had a pain there, yet she never let us touch it. Did you fight with somebody? Or get a poisonous bite by a horsefly? Oh, you had no breakfast. We worried about her all day long. In the evening, when mom-in-law started watering the garden, she unexpectedly appeared from the mint bush. Welcome back, darling.
Mei-Shun’s mother was born on August 1st. She spends her birthday at a lodge she owns in Kusatsu, Gunma Prefecture. We therefore used to hold a lunch party one month earlier. This year she prefers staying at home to eating out — well, no problem. Three women lack nothing to cook and chat.
It was a summer day of 2013. Mei-Shun shared a Chinese table with respectful “friends” for lunch in Tokyo. Professor S. gave these necklaces and pierces as a return gift: we had sent a bouquet to celebrate her birthday. Mammy beads are nicely arranged, made a good combination with the black dress Mei-Shun put on.
Mysterious Blues
This is minazuki, a Japanese sweet to eat today for Nagoshi-no-Harae. A half piece would be dedicated to your past half-year life, while another half to wish your happiness in left half of current year.
