Great Greeting

Princess Maria, Mr. Tea Time, Ms. Last One and Ms. Sagittarius, it is Mei-Shun’s greatest pleasure to see you again. It took longer than 6 weeks for her to restart dance with you. Many changes were seen in the clubhouse, while all of you seem as lively and healthy as before that novel coronavirus deterred her from meeting you. Oh, slender crescent of the 3rd day is shining among clouds in sunset pink.

Look @Moon

Meow, mom resumed kabuki dance lesson at home. She means to remember how to dance 恋の手習い=love lesson part of 京鹿子娘道成寺 within this month. Just go ahead, purr. It is clear today, would let us see a full moon at night. It also should have been a chance for Professor M, her only student to visit her, yet had to be canceled. I wish they can share practice in yukata next month.

Kimono Feather

Lunar April starts from today. Mei-Shun walked to the nearest shrine, asked Gods to give protection onto her kabuki dance practice at home. Omikuji lots say … hi, gorgeous pheasant boy, great to hear your love song again. Listen, one for Shin was No. 23 kichi=lucky while the other for herself No. 39 kyo=the worst luck. The latter number is read “than-kyu” in Japanese, appreciating her fortune?

Too good at standing with his back to sunlight.

Sakura Moon

Meow, sudden shower, stormy wind and weird virus have forced me and mom to stay at home from weekend. It is just as usual — my realm is here, she prefers to keep social distance. Let’s therefore enjoy warm sunlight through windows in daytime, bright moonlight at night, purr. We are expected to see a full moon tonight. Called with “pink” or “super” before, it is the biggest in 2020.

Lunar March

So recent お彼岸=o-higan passed by, lunar calendar reached solar one. Mei-Shun visited her mother who kindly waited with handmade ohagi of course. It was one of favorite sweets of beloved father, has smooth surface these days stroked with wet cotton cloth. “When we were young, it was a bigger ball like a full moon covered with a lot of little horns,” she always says with a smile.

Beyond Clouds

A full moon floated last night, Mei-Shun heard from a close friend. Since it rained all day long, she played “Clair de Lune” by Master Debussy on Ms. Piano, never recognizing such a romantic view over the curtain. Well, perhaps thanks to that gentle entity, Shin was relieved from hay disease while his wife from fierce appetite tortured them for a month.

Another BD

Today is Mei-Shun’s birthday on lunar calendar. She has made those pretty roses hung so far to dry up. Now she must take more care of actions around her pillow where a silver pot accommodating another beauty below. Such a heedless person often hit her head, shoulders, arms, hands, legs and feet on something harder than a tofu corner — while her back into this crispy, light artwork.

Thanking U

… to you, Shin. He cooked Chinese-style pot dish for Mei-Shun on Saturday when lunar January started. If it is Japanese one, the wife is happy to make. However, she does not know how to do for the counterpart of our neighbor country. Full of spice including 花椒=huajiao or Sichuan pepper, garlic and red chili, he fried handmade beef ball and potato starch-coated chicken to put them together into the pot with various vegetables.

Partial Eclipse

It means a new moon tonight, start of lunar December. However, it was cloudy enough to let Mei-Shun totally absorbed in horsey riding lessons final in 2019. Mr. Tea Time, thanks a lot for being such a good boy. You and Ms. I taught her how to control your speed, to make clear turns. Her next goal is a canter on you. Ms. Last One, the last lady she rode this year, your gallop gave her an excellent exultation.

Cold Moon

Oh, beautiful full moon. Mei-Shun found it so bright in the sky when she drove back from her horsey riding club. She knew it is the last one for 2019, while missed the lady of the same name today (see you on Wednesday, honey). It is so difficult to take good photos that she immediately gave it up to pick up some by experts. She prefers to see such an incredible phenomenon by her eyes as much as possible.
