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.
Ms. Piano, you sound much better since tuned by Mr. O. Mei-Shun feels happy to sing with you, while a bit weird when she uses a pedal in higher keys. Since Shin is available working at home to replace light bulbs above you, she would try again tonight. Oh, a beautiful half moon has appeared in the sky. 松の寿 would also be practiced with dark windows as a wide mirror.
So lunar October starts from today. Mei-Shun meant to walk to the nearest shrine after just a whole month, greet Gods and draw omikuji lots. However, she had to give priority to room cleaning which went behind the trip to Kyoto last week: she makes Fridays full of housework to enjoy fresh weekends. Her fluffy daughter, who was forced to stay home alone, likes this pattern as well.
We have a full moon tonight. 大安=tai-an, the best day among 六曜. And power outage before noon that Mei-Shun has already been informed on. Construction cars arrived around 10 : 30 in warm sunlight, started to replace electrical wire. A fixed telephone stopped soon, 20-min. blackout. However, nothing woke up after 30 minutes passed. She went down to see mom-in-law who asked “what is a breaker”?
