Merry May

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

Standard

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.

Sakura Soon

Standard

We have 春分=vernal equinox, the 4th of 二十四節気 today. Sunlight has drawn toward south, helps mom to put less shades on the floor. Momo-chan, our garden princess grows more and more buds who turned light pink from silver. Backyard plum tree is almost in full blossom, giving gentle scent. Cherry flowers are on our table, or precisely in a mug resided by my friends smiling. Purr … purrr …

Joy of Plum: 4

Standard

Mei-Shun drove Ms. Scarlet toward another clinic managed by Dr. W today. The former dropped in Tsukuba horsey riding club, watched field condition and asked a lesson change. Now which is the shortest route to reach above lady? Car navigation system chose a lane between orchards of chestnut. Oh, many plum trees bloom in white, while light pink for some.

Crisp Crack

Standard

Oh my careless mom again. She boiled water in a lovely kettle, put a wet beaker beside to dry. This action has resulted in no problem so far — until today when our ears caught a kind of explosive sound. Poor item who worked hard, while whose heat tolerance might deteriorate little by little. You did very well, thanks a million. Dad brought you home years before, didn’t he?

Happy Honey

Standard

Here he comes, St. Valentine. It might be one of the sweetest days for Mei-Shun to express her gratitude toward dear gentlemen. Or ladies of course, including her mothers, sisters, friends, etc. She ordered delicious chocolates as usual, while had to stay home through a whole week caused by a cold with a cough. What is the best way to deal with these 2 boxes left behind?
