Mei-Shun received a gorgeous bouquet from Shin this morning. One of their anniversaries started with a cool rainfall, let it keep fresh. The husband actually went out yesterday afternoon on business all night, in order to come home by dinner time tonight. The wife got her hair curled at a salon nearby, vacuumed rooms before shopping and prepared warm dishes. Now shall we start, fluffy princess of its colour?
Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine together on weekend, after months. Fragrant olive gave them nice scent: that made them look for those trees in bloom. One was planted in the middle of a garden, others seem to be guardians at open gates. Now what luck Gods provide the family? 大吉=the luckiest for the husband, 吉=lucky the wife received.
Mei-Shun walked 5 minutes toward a hair salon in high heels this morning. She actually went out earlier, found a dense fog covering even traffic lights. Red, yellow and green looked clear while white lines on streets were blurred. Tough sunshine let it all evaporate, left plants washed out. Ms. Spider lily, great to see you again in the same place. Your Honor, cosmos ladies.
Mei-Shun does not mean her weight, only does Typhoon Peipah who made landfalls in Kochi early this morning, then around 9 : 00 in Wakayama, traveled across Honshu or our main island to approach Kanto region most in the afternoon. It rained so hard that drenched (rather than watered) ladies outdoors; Momo-chan, Princess Cymby, Mademoiselle Vert and Ms. Scarlet.
They are written, while read shin-kan-sen, the same as our bullet train. One of Shin’s buffs lives in Tottori Prefecture sent him this box of juicy pears, as much as 14. He kindly left Mei-Shun with all of them, except for just 1 for mom-in-law. Here vegetable-fruit drawer of Ms. Cuby, or a refrigerator the former uses, has become a temporary orchard.
Hello friend, welcome back to Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun. The husband just went aboard an airplane for Tokyo from Mumbai, when the wife noticed you on a tiny kitchen window. It works as your dinner plate, doesn’t it? Please go ahead, letting her take several photos. Although your back looks like a fallen leaf, it turns toward shining white in tummy. All fingers are tipped with pearl beads.
We have 立秋=risshu, the 1st of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It really does; cool wind, gray sky, drizzle before noon. Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet who comes from northern Europe, sounds quite relieved. Her worst malfunction occurred last year might be caused by our summer becoming more and more torrid, year after year. Shall we drop in one of the best bakeries returning home?
So we are at the end of solar July. Mei-Shun noticed that 2025 has 2 lunar June; normal one started 25th last month, the other 閏 on the recent same date. That gave 3 birthdays to Shin, let his wife celebrate them serving various salad plates. By the way, it seems to be the hottest with 11 consecutive heatstroke alert. Nothing aired this morning, cooler gift from Typhoon Krosa.
… June starts from today. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet, whose thermometer showed incredible 43 degrees Celsius, toward their 2nd horsey riding club. Princess Maria, we have endured sweltering 6 days since last Sunday. Please let them return home, yet with an appointment to see you again a month later. They dropped in the nearest shrine, drew 大吉 and 吉 omikuji lots.
Hello, Princess Maria or 手鞠姫. It is great pleasure of Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun to trot with you again. Please listen, they say that rainy season 2025 is over. It has been on and off, given both heavy storms and sultry heat waves. We hope it finally resulted in fine precipitation accompanied by good crops — well, are Your Highness ready for a lesson in cooler breeze?
