… to you, young girls including Princess Maria and Ms. Sagittarius. We have Doll’s Festival today while a new moon to start lunar February. Mei-Shun dropped in the nearest shrine this morning after saying good day to Shin from driver’s seat of Ms. Scarlet. Now what omikuji lots would Gods give her? 末吉=sue-kichi and 半吉 han-kichi, the least and half luck respectively.
The former is getting earlier, the latter later these days. When Mei-Shun gets up at 5 : 00, it is still all dark and freezing. However, warm living room thanks to Mr. Blue and Mikan-chan give mom enough energy to clean and feed her fluffy baby before preparing bath and breakfast for Shin. Oh, an hour flew to let her find a brilliant half moon and Venus in pale pink sky.
Good evening, 十六夜=izayoi moon. Mei-Shun sang with Ms. Piano your scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven, thanking to slight snow/rainfalls the other day for watering garden plants. By the way, she received a food box delivered every Friday just a few hours before. Young green bananas greeted her, hung above a boiling kettle to turn yellow immediately.
Shin went on a business trip to Nagoya, had to catch a train departs around 6 : 00. Mei-Shun drove him to the nearest station, found a big gold medal over railways. Yes, we would see the 2nd full moon of 2022 tomorrow with 大安=tai-an. Even if a 仏滅 today, it helps us to enjoy anything, anytime. Oh, Mikan-chan, do you agree with mom? How cute you are on a cushion!
So this is it. 大晦日=New Year’s Eve, yet December 29th on lunar calendar we have today, just one month behind solar one. Mei-Shun would like to serve Shin something good, suitable for another celebration tonight. They enjoyed udon noodle instead of soba at the end of last year — if fine and long nature of the latter resembles our longevity, the former would be the same.
Twice, since we have December 25th today on lunar calendar. Shin’s gift flowers to Mei-Shun on solar one are still fresh, leaving 2 buds of gorgeous white lilies. After taking care of them, pink ones and Mikan-chan of course, the wife went out toward the same hospital she should have visited on Tuesday. Prescription was indispensable to keep her digestive system well.
Above is the 3rd gift from Shin to Mei-Shun, from which he won a cock-shape fève. 4th is a cute pair of crystal cats; bigger one is mom, smaller another is Mikan-chan, according to dad. And a warm message via e-mail from mother arrived in the morning, while a pretty basket full of spring flowers at night from Professor M. Oh, the 1st full moon of 2022 appeared in the sky.
A Happy New Year! How did you kind 454 followers spend recent weekend? To tell the truth, Mei-Shun had believed that January 3rd was a national holiday, making at least 3-day winter vacation in our country. However, 2022 calendars show the first Monday in black, not in red. All right, since lunar December starts from today, our parents in the sky might give us a message to work much.
Going into lunar November tomorrow, Mei-Shun looked up the sky this morning. Ms. Crescent sees her from southeast before dawn lately. The latter gets up at 5 : 00 to take care of Shin and Mikan-chan on weekdays, privileged to come across such a fantastic view. By the way, above image was actually taken yesterday, because today was a little too cloudy to catch her clearly.
Mei-Shun feels really glad to see a partial lunar eclipse tonight with Shin, who worked at home by chance. Oh, what a sunset in reddish pink! It is incredible — now Ms. Full Moon is on the opposite stage of sky. Already hidden behind our Mother Earth, she looks like a tall crescent. Flowing, light clouds sometimes cover to change her shape from a ripe banana to an orange ball.
