Digit Desired

Standard

Mei-Shun visited another horsey riding club in Ibaraki, 龍ヶ崎 to apply for lessons with lovely Mr. Danone Caesar next month. She won No. 15, the best ever from a lottery box; they fill member’s schedule according to it. Ms. Scarlet then turned to a supermarket nearby the shrine Shin and his wife often walk toward. Oh, No. 8 大吉= the luckiest omikuji appeared for him.

Joy of Aquarium: 2

Standard

Here is a spotted seal living in an enormous sun lounge with a tank put below. He/she is one of a couple, kindly greeted Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. Such a friendly mammal who swims around, jumps out of water to relax on an artificial shore. His/her attitude reminds above wife of a pygmy hippopotamus she saw at Ueno Zoological Gardens, where dad-in-law was working.

Sweet Sakura

Standard

This is the day for me and mom to visit “Arles” once a month, purr. She made a phone call in advance to avoid our empty drive on Ms. Scarlet. 染井吉野 cherry blossoms along main streets in Tsukuba were almost over, while 八重桜, layered-petal breeds began to bloom. And salted, tiny flowers on macarons welcomed us at the shop. She purchased another can with my image on the lid to accommodate them.

Snowy Sakura

Standard

We have lunar 桃の節句 or March 3rd today. Mei-Shun went out for shopping to prepare a small dinner, walked to the nearest shrine from a nearer-by supermarket car park. Cherry blossoms have already passed their full stages, while lovely petals were falling onto the ground. She caught one on her palm, felt happy and drew an omikuji lot. No. 8 大吉=dai-kichi, the luckiest has come!

Sakura Sampo

Standard

… Mei-Shun made today, or a stroll looking for cherry blossom. Ms. Scarlet helped her to go here and there including a horsey riding club in 龍ヶ崎. They accommodate more trees than in Tsukuba, yet both have neighbors of golf playing field surrounded by the same breed. And thank you so much, Professor M who gave above shot of her friend 山櫻 in early blossom.

Sweet Spring

Standard

So it might be just once for us to see bright sun during current weekdays. Mei-Shun reserved 2 lessons at her horsey riding club in Tsukuba, followed by a 30-minute private lesson. Hello Mr. Golden Helmet, great to dance with you for the first time. Since you are so tall, she felt quite safer on short Mr. Crunchy who made the best so far. And Mr.  翼 or Wings, nice to see you again.

Only Once

Standard

Last week when Mei-Shun saw Dr. A, a good bakery this ex-inpatient makes it a rule to drop in was closed. She therefore replaced it by one nearby, whose branch in Tsukuba has been visited before — a decade might have passed since then. Well actually, sweet “melon-pain” is her criterion to judge if loyalty would be born to a shop. Oh, how cute they are here, in tennis ball shapes!

Silver and Sweet

Standard

It means me as well, purr. Dr. K kindly gave mom above in return for what she sent him on St. Valentine’s Day. I am sure these delicious bells work well for dad, who is quite busy while tortured by cedar pollen. Our schedule to visit “Arles” is set on tomorrow, whipped cream and fruits would serve us. On the other paw, chocolate and white-bean paste are here.

Weather Well

Standard

Mei-Shun went to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station today, instead of dancing with horseies. It was caused by a rainfall which always forces her to cancel or change lessons outdoors. Snow might be better if all white, yet often starts by disappointing sleet. She is made of sugar, would melt away into wet air. Service indoors was therefore chosen with 駅弁=ekiben lunch boxes brought home.

Shining in Sky

Standard

Good morning, Ms. 立待月. Yes, she still stays at 5 : 00; let us see her again as 居待月 tonight. It is actually the 2nd time for Mei-Shun to greet her: 1st was when she drove Ms. Scarlet at 22 : 00 yesterday to pick Shin up. Since the husband would make a business trip to U.S.A. from tomorrow, the wife is busy to pack his suitcase. It is fine for him as well, to get rid of cedar pollen.
