Baby Buds

Standard

Here she comes: Princess Cymby. Since rainy season 2023 failed to let her bathe under natural water, Mei-Shun was wondering whether Her Highness would give any flowers. Still, a lovely leaf bud appeared in September to move her a great deal — how powerful His Highness is as well! They are half in number compared with last year, on one-fourth condition.

Silver and Scarlet

Standard

Mei-Shun made her 2nd visit to another horsey riding club in Tsukuba, accompanied by Mikan-chan. Mr. Loki, great to walk and trot on you for the first time. She would move to here from next month, be helped by Mr. Sirius. Oh, is this a crab apple? Little fruits are getting reddish as leaves lining 東大通り, one of wide streets. They would give a lovely Christmas tree soon.

Galette des Rois

Standard

Meow, it was the date of “Arles” for me and mom yesterday. On the other hand, dad ordered above pie as her birthday cake from that pâtisserie on 13th. She won the fève in the first piece chosen, so he safely left others to celebrate lunar Christmas today. We stayed good girls on weekend, while he went on a two-full-day business trip to Hong Kong. Unique chocolates would also arrive at night.

Hi, Princess Maria, how was your Christmas? Shin, Mei-Shun and Mikan-chan spent a great time. He ordered a gorgeous bouquet as usual, with fragrant chrysanthemums put between roses.

Eventful Excursion

Meow, lunar December starts from today. Mom brought me to a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station for her last cut and fringe making in 2022. Oh, cold wind let us see Mt. Fuji beyond Ushiku Pond. A cup noodles maker looked fine, so was Skytree tower. We were pleased with this tiny travel followed by shopping at a department store. And we cordially wish you kind 485 followers Merry Christmas on weekend!

Risky Red

Standard

Here is an image of a plant Shin sent to Mei-Shun this morning, asking what the name of it whose bright color caught his eyes along a mountain path. She immediately replied that it might be a lacquer tree or Toxicodendron trichocarpum. He was cautious enough not to touch it: this breed often causes serious rash. Every rose has its thorn, please prefer safe Christmas trees.

Mellow Maiden

Standard

Hi, Princess Maria, great to see and dance with you again. Oops, please do not rush into the tail of Mr. Opal. Mei-Shun and you are not in nearby wood but going around the field today. Here is your friend Highness, growing little by little to bloom. She had to survive among tiny snails coming up from the bottom of her throne pot: passed torrid summer might serve for their habitat.

Aurora Art

Standard

Shin went on a business trip to Germany through weekend, returned to Mei-Shun yesterday evening. Time difference and a long flight forced the wife to miss his arrival message at Frankfurt, while let him see a great Christmas gift in the sky. Thanks to a route via the North Pole they took, and a fluffy angel who asked her mom to get into his suitcase together.

Green to Gold

Standard

The last solar month of 2022 starts. Mei-Shun meant to visit the nearest shrine on foot, yet canceled it with so cold a wind from the north and sporadic rainfall. How is that big gingko tree, whose golden yellow coat she admires? In his place did she pick up fan-shaped leaves fell on verandah floor. Yes, the same breed in our backyard finally decided to change clothes.

Tender Teddy

Standard

Mei-Shun was very happy to notice 4 buds at the bottom of Princess Cymby last month, has taken joyful care of them. The 1st one was found earlier as leaves, followed by the 2nd and two flowers. Please kindly accept her deepest appreciation, Your Highness. No petals in yellowish green were seen indoors last winter, while 蝋梅 flourished outdoors giving sweet scent.
