Tender Tears

Standard

Here Mei-Shun cleaned up a verandah floor. She newly purchased a brush with this purpose: above had turned green at edge, covered by moss perhaps. A slight rainfall made it easier for her; thanks a million, sky in the shade of Mikan-chan’s coat. It returned original ash gray. Now her mom wishes following Asian dust from continent not to dye it yellow.

Amicable Apple

Standard

Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet before tea time, heading their 2nd horsey riding club. Mr. Danone Caesar, great to see you cute again. Oh, wilder breed 山櫻 trees still keep white flowers between green leaves. Please listen, our garden accommodates an apple. It bloomed for the first time last year, in the same shade as above cousin. That encouraged mom-in-law who stayed in a hospital.

May Baby

Standard

Mei-Shun’s flowerpot, shaped like a basket with a grape pattern, embraces 2 buds. One was found weeks before, the other just a few days. When she recognized the latter, took it as an interloper; tried to remove. Oops, quite strong a feel it has; resembles its elder sister (perhaps). She grew so fast that nearly touches the handle. Princess Cymby, shall we plant her in our garden, back to mother’s arms?

Rainbow after Rain

Standard

Stormy weather has finally gone; quiet air would soon embrace a full moon, called by that shade of spring flowers tonight. Or it might be blurred by clouds following wet morning. That is why Mei-Shun chose scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven. “Ständchen” by Master Schubert might be able to join her quiet repertoire … voilà, doubled arcs-en-ciel appear first.

Byoin-Biyoin

Standard

… mom means this month, full of appointments at hospitals and hair salons. That is why she made it her new rule to walk toward the nearest shrine on Mondays. Horsey riding lessons are reserved on Wednesdays, while allergy between clavicles let her go outdoors every other day. Exercise at least once a week is indispensable. Here she drew 吉 and 小吉 omikuji lots.

Distribute D?

Standard

Oh, brilliant 十六夜, Mei-Shun feels happy to see you stay in western sky at 5:30. Shin got on Ms. Moon toward Narita International Airport, heading Vietnam on business. Although we have 啓蟄=kei-chi-tsu, the 3rd of vernal 二十四節気 today, cold air still let them put on thick coats. When the wife returned warm living room, she found a big note on a staff.

Only Occasion

Standard

Princess Maria, it is the greatest pleasure for Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to see Your Highness today; the last weekday of this month. Rainfalls, allergy of the latter, etc. prevented them from exercise with you horseies in one after another lessons. By the way, they are not in a nearby wood where “endurance” courses are available. Warmer air surrounds them on open field.

Enjoy Exercise

Standard

Mei-Shun did today, as one walking toward nearby hair salon in high heels. She was a bit in a hurry, did not recognize sweet scent of this white plum. Hello, Madame Blanche, it seems your colour is often seen this year. After a cup of tea at home, she changed into jeans and trainers. The other workout heading the nearest shrine resulted in 吉 for Shin with her 小吉.

梅 and 桜

Standard

Yes, Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine yesterday. After greeting Gods in kimono, she drew an omikuji lot: only one coin was available. Oh, No. 22 吉=kichi came; a message via her fluffy daughter of course. It will join your friends on a dining table, honey. Now she gets on Ms. Scarlet heading a police station. Her driving license would be renewed soon, while passport next month.

Sweet Symbols

Standard

Here Mei-Shun won stamp sheets, among 10-15 greeting cards she received. Last year had 3 horsey-riding lesson days a week, while 午年 2026 only once. Well, that would give her healthier body and mind. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Shin gained a fève shaped like a shopping bag from a piece of Galette des Rois on 13th. He kindly bought her a sachet at Kyoto; the same one Kaori-san did a decade before.
