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.

Merry May

I came back on Mademoiselle Vert to greet dad and mom at the beginning of current month, purr. It was the 1st when she brought 2 pots of orchid onto southern verandah; bigger throne of sleeping Princess Cymby I stayed from January, smaller accommodates these green flowers. Both have already showered twice after coming outdoors, washed leaves covered with indoor dust.

Noble Note

Standard

Lunar April starts from today. Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine driving Ms. Scarlet who returned last week. She actually meant to come on foot, yet a sudden rainfall prevented her from good exercise. After greeting Gods, she drew 2 omikuji lots; one for Shin, the other herself. Oh, No. 1 大吉= the most lucky and No. 33 吉=lucky were given. You helped for the latter to mom, fluffy honey?

Real Repose

Standard

Mei-Shun loves sakura refreshments including tea. Shin knows it well, kindly brings various souvenirs in lovely pink shades. Japanese sweets, cookie, cake and jelly often feature that flower from March to current month; 山櫻=wild cherry, artificial 染井吉野 and double 八重桜 make our minds full of happiness. Mouths of most she believes, caressing a silver coat on a pancake cushion.

Morning Moon

Standard

Hi, gentle light from western sky. She always puts Mei-Shun at ease who should slip out of front door before dawn. It is her duty only occurs when Shin is on business trips. Neighbors seem still asleep, few cars seen on a street nearby. Hmm, you would therefore be 寝待月 whom they waited to meet while lying down on futon mats last night. Now mom’s back, shall we have a rest again?

From Light to Bright

Standard

I and mom went out this morning to see Mr. Danone Caesar, purr. Our 2nd club who accommodates him has a lot of cherry trees around field and beside; some were already over, others still in blossom. Petals fall onto us like snow in pink gradation, might let us feel like flying upward. By the way, she was so careless that left your cookie at home on a table. I would say sorry on behalf of her.

Elegant Ears

Rainfall again, and Mei-Shun sits on a chair in front of Ms. Piano. She has got quite used to “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel. This great score gives her another pleasure: “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Master J. S. Bach has become easier. The former let her calm down, listen to and enjoy beauty of chord. Oh, 6th crescent, happy to see you in northwestern sky after dark.
