桜 to 桃

Standard

Mei-Shun watered Momo-chan, our garden princess this morning. Heatstroke alert has been aired from Sunday, might continue hereafter. It is too severe for Her Highness to keep green, who began putting on a yellowish coat with blackened fruits. That reminds “queen” of similar sight in summer 2024 — King Shin asked her to do the same. If it works, little leaves and flowers would greet them soon.

Wild White

Welcome home from shopping mom, purr. She tried going out in the morning today, found Ms. Scarlet cooler than usual evening. You saw Master Mei-Shu in an egret? Ah, she kindly received your admiration, appeared to show her gratitude. You sent a sun flower bouquet, keeping away from normal, cold colours for beloved ones. On the other paw of mine, I know your favorite is ivory.

Alert Aired

Standard

… again today, in Ibaraki Prefecture. Mei-Shun canceled only one lesson to try dancing with Mr. Marumorita. She therefore puts on a 簪=kanzashi from Shin, normally for kimono style at home: even if without that traditional clothes, such hair accessories, 下駄=geta or Japanese wooden clogs and 羽織=haori jackets could let her enjoy similar atmosphere. Now her favorite rikishi would soon appear on 土俵 ring.

Hello, Princess Maria or 手鞠姫. It is great pleasure of Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to trot with you again. Please listen, they say that rainy season 2025 is over. It has been on and off, given both heavy storms and sultry heat waves. We hope it finally resulted in fine precipitation accompanied by good crops — well, are Your Highness ready for a lesson in cooler breeze?

Tokyo Tour

Standard

Such an idea suddenly came to Mei-Shun, who had a reservation for Mr. Marumorita this afternoon. At 10 : 00 however, heatstroke alert was aired to let her cancel it. Now what would she do instead? Booking system online says that her beautician is available. All right, shall we leave a bit earlier and drop in a department store, Mikan-chan? Or you prefer cooler home?

Tender Trot

Standard

Hello, Princess Maria. I and mom are so happy to see you again that their previous appointment with you was nicely replaced by today’s, purr. When we heard Mr. Danone Caesar got injured, mom was shocked asking his condition. “He is all right, just lost shoes in muddy field” was their reply. We therefore brought rock candy; as refreshment for you, get-well wishes to him.

Happy birthday dad, purr. I and mom are really pleased to have lived with you so far. You are born on a rainy day while windy, dry and sunny today. Preparing for humid weeks, she worked hard at home; hang futon mats outdoors, wash blankets and sheets, bake a cake, clean 2 fans, etc. Now she returned from shopping, ready to serve you handmade dinner.

Exhausting Effort

Standard

Oh, lovely Princess Maria, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun miss you so much. Please listen, the latter took care of the garden after her husband Shin weeded it by electric cutters. She first put on glasses, yet such exercise made her take them off soon. When she prepared a cup of tea, a chest pocket showed nothing within. Her panicked thumbs finally found them at the bottom of a grass hill.

Family Flowers

Standard

I would say sorry to you kind 527 followers that mom was absent from here a short time. We are still in solar May, yet have already seen several heavy rainfalls. She wondered if 五月雨=samidare means a kind of harbinger for such season following, searched online. Hmm, this 皐月 is lunar one. It therefore calls our normal 梅雨. “You didn’t learn the famous haiku by Master Basho Matsuo?” Grandma said.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Marumorita, for dancing with Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. On the other paw of fluffy daughter, you seemed a bit crazy at annoying flies today. Here mom purchased guards for you therefore, a big cape and baby clothes. She used to upper one, yet not lower while just has seen some put it on. Her all thumbs would try next time, come earlier than usual.
