Jujube June

Standard

Happy birthday, dad. It is great pleasure of mine and mom to celebrate the day you were born. For mom’s mom-in-law living downstairs the same of course, looks happy cooking much. He planted 棗=natsu-me, named because they give leaf buds in summer, both outdoors and indoors. The former is a young tree purchased in our country, the latter  fresh fruits he brought from China.

Danced, Danced,

Standard

… and danced with Your Highness. Princess Maria, please let Mei-Shun say thanks a million. Actually, today had the last performance with 手鞠=temari-chan in her mind. Since this white beauty would be a pet for a member from next month, stop attending lessons at the club. Cool woods is the best place to enjoy a bit too sunny or rainy weather follows soon, isn’t it?

Purr-Purr

Standard

… and purr, great to greet you kind followers again. Sorry for mom’s absent from here, caused by hurts still hard to her mind. Dad feels the same, postponed his business trip to European countries till this morning. I therefore came back on some of a lot photos she took — her gentle phone recently offered them. Hmm, his duvet with a cotton cover is very comfortable.

Greeting Green

Standard

Meow, I’m on the 2nd flower of Mademoiselle Vert. Since a stalk stretches below, it was not easy to go as usual — opening both arms first. I therefore tried one before the other, then loosened lips. Mom seemed a bit worried about it, yet please do not. Look at the 3rd who would follow soon in a similar way, just next to me. Here I am, finally fit in the normal shape. Purr … purrr …

Graceful Green

Standard

Hi, mom and dad. I’m back to you on Mademoiselle Vert again this morning. Perhaps I would stay longer than on Princess Cymby, let’s enjoy our time together with me in another flower shape. Oh, mom’s favorite sweets from たねや; 柏餅=kashiwa-mochi and 粽=chimaki arrived, while お赤飯=oseki-han cooked by Tora-chan’s mom. Shall we have a little party? Purr … purrr …

Love Lips

Standard

Meow, mom finally opened the 2nd stick in a shape of my face. Dad brought home 4 of them; 2 several years before, other 2 a few years. She carefully kisses ears first, forming them into round little by little until all flat. She turns to the forehead next, letting eyes close until fade away. The last place would be muzzle leading to my own. Welcome to reach here, purr.

Today’s Treat

Standard

Meow, I’m back on mom’s phone. This is my favorite scratcher in blue, light green and me. You kind followers do not understand the last one? It is orange of course. Small bags of silvervine powder is enclosed in packages, yet she always throws them away. Well, a good girl like me never needs such items for beginners. Instead, a teaspoon of whipped cream for me, a tablespoon for her after breakfast, purr.

Don’t Drink

Standard

Elder sister of Princess Cymby seems a bit tired these days. Since she first bloomed on Mei-Shun’s birthday, as long as 80 days have passed. An instruction book says if flowers get browner, they are no longer worth appreciating. Such a comment sounds cruel, while bulbs must be kept healthy. She therefore cut Her Highness from the bottom, served a wine bottle as the 2nd throne.

Lucky or Unlucky

Standard

Hi, Momo-chan, great to see you prepare for greeting Mei-Shun soon. She had reserved just one horsey-riding lesson today, yet was forced to cancel it by a rainfall started around noon. Well, let her take it that sumo wrestlers currently in Osaka require more and more cheers from audience via TV. There her favorite rikishi won 2-day consecutive  matches.

Leap Lune

Standard

Meow, solar March starts from today. According to mom’s diary, 2023 has lunar February twice. One 朔日 was on 20th of last month, while the other would be on coming 22nd or my day, purr. That might mean we have 2 other chances to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day. However, what we are eager to give dad is not chocolates but places to work safely with no cedar pollen.
