We would see a full moon tonight, with 3 days left for current month. Mei-Shun takes it a kind of lucky, since these are ones February in 丑 never has. With all the same arrangement starting from Monday, one fourth of 2021 would elapse soon. She seems to have got used to her new weeks made of kabuki dance, horsey riding and Ms. Piano beside Shin and Mikan-chan of course.
love you
Blanket Baby
StandardAs Mikan-chan kindly posted, it dawns earlier day by day. Sunlight came deep into rooms in winter, helped Mei-Shun to dry futon indoors when gale tries to blow them down on the ground. However, it draws little by little toward the border between 広縁=hiro-en, wooden floor and 畳=tatami, straw mat. Thanks a lot for sparing her time to cover 縁=heri, edge of the latter to avoid suntan.
Me & Momo
StandardMom’s current favorite, of course. My sister in the garden increases in number of flowers day by day. Since she stays in a bright color for only 10-15 days, I am generous enough to let her taken more photos than me. And I look down on her from higher place, showing who the boss is. Oh, nice scent of honey comes into rooms through open windows. Purr … purrr …
Meow Memory
Standard10 years have passed since we had that horrible mega-quake. I was alone at home, rushed into the corner behind a TV set whose tube was one of my favorite places for a nap. Mom came back around dusk, called my name in a soft voice. That gave me power to move and climb into her arms. She was also out today by chance, joined silent prayer at her horsey riding club.
My Meow
StandardIt also sounded yesterday, 2-28 read in our language. And the last day of February leading to today, the 1st starts from Monday. 丑=ushi of 2021 is not among 3 leap years 子=ne, 辰=tatsu and 申=saru, gives the same weeks to March. Mom looks happy to have such cycles, since it is easy to make a monthly schedule. Now you are going out to dance with horseies? No problem, I’ll keep a good girl.

Prettiest Purr
StandardMeow, it is my special day comes only once a year. Mom purchased a 半纏 kimono coat, full of my friends and sushi to give me her older one. She would not put it on when practices or takes lessons of kabuki dance like today, just to relax at home. And it is my job as well, taking a nap with soft-touch colleagues on the sofa … hi, welcome back, smooth me who kept a good girl while you were out. Purr … purrr …

Thank Thee
StandardMei-Shun cut elder Princess Cymby today. An instruction to grow this breed recommends to do so after blossom for 80 – 90 days, in order to keep bulbs healthy. Younger lady would therefore reside in her throne toward April. She is really like an angel with wings of sunlight — oh, here comes another one whose coat is made of moonlight.
Beans Beat
StandardMeow, we heard it is very rare to have 節分=setsu-bun; just one day before 立春=risshun, the 1st of spring 二十四節気, not tomorrow but today. It is for the first in recent 124 years — at the end of Meiji Era, when mom’s great-grandparents were young. And it sounds like my day along with 3, 22 and 23 while with dogs 12 and 13. Not 4 and 24 when I say hiss!

Farewell For
Standard… just 6 months from February, Mr. Tea Time. Please let Mei-Shun say congratulations for your promotion. Since he acquired a kind of certification to be a “rental horsey”, she cannot designate him as a partner to dance with for a while. Good luck, stay healthy. Icy rain forced her to cancel today’s reservation on the back of you and Princess Maria. Here are cubes of raw sugar, your favorite snack.
Happy Horsey
StandardNo exercise. No abdomen with good growling. It was Mei-Shun’s recent (正月)三が日=(shogatsu)-san-ga-nichi, first three days of a new year. That made her regain one sugar bag around the waist again. Mr. Tea Time, Princess Maria, how was your first weekend of 2021? You always bring an empty stomach which symbolizes her health. Please kindly continue to help her control both body and mind.
