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?
Such an idea suddenly came to Mei-Shun, who had a reservation for Mr. Marumorita this afternoon. At 10 : 00 however, heatstroke alert was aired to let her cancel it. Now what would she do instead? Booking system online says that her beautician is available. All right, shall we leave a bit earlier and drop in a department store, Mikan-chan? Or you prefer cooler home?
Solar July starts, expecting rainfalls which we have not seen since the latter half of previous month. Mei-Shun is getting better for right arm, had almost no problem putting on long sleeves yesterday. She recognized a bit green sky and colder wind in the afternoon, took futon mats and blankets into bedroom. Thunderstorm soon followed, kindly watered dry plants.
Lunar June starts from today. Mei-Shun visited Tsukuba horsey riding club, saw her primary instructor Ms. I with refreshments. They talked about schedule forward instead of a lesson: stormy weather made the field rice paddy. Now the former turns toward Dr. W, followed by the nearest shrine to greet Gods and draw omikuji lots. No. 1 大吉=the luckiest has come for Shin.
Mei-Shun has got a big strawberry on right arm; allergy caused by an insect bite, her home dermatologist Dr. N diagnosed yesterday. The latter gentle lady works for a clinic Dr. I manages on Mondays and Tuesdays, often sees the former patient who reported on her experience in the garden. “Smaller one is on thumb”, she added before receiving a prescription including pills.
It is great pleasure for me and mom to thank you kind 528 followers on a date of all the same numbers, purr. We visited Tsukuba horsey riding club as usual Wednesdays, enjoyed dancing with Mr. Marumorita. There is a mulberry tree beside our field, bearing a lot of fruits. A couple of raccoons came the other day for tea time perhaps, stayed during lessons.

Mei-Shun vacuumed filters of 2 air conditioners; one is in living room where she works when stays at home, the other bed room accommodates. She started from the former, felt a bit relieved at its sight. Turning to the latter, she tried pulling them towards herself — oh, horizontal parts looked dusted more than vertical sifts. She returned to a sofa, opened a lid again above it.
It was really amazing that double, enormous bridges in 7 shades appeared in eastern sky last evening. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun came home, sat back at a table on a cup of tea. Gold light caught their eyes, let them rush toward the widest window. Lunar calendar used by the latter informed her of 虹始見, one of vernal 七十二候 just meaning this celestial phenomenon.
