Shin, Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Moon toward 三昧塚古墳 on weekend. Sunlight lit them up through thin clouds, looked like curtains covering 霞ヶ浦. After greeting an ancient king, they dropped in a supermarket where amazingly various sake bottles are accommodated. Above was chosen by the wife to accompany sashimi for dinner.

After 10Ys + 9Wks
StandardLunar May starts from today with 大安=tai-an, the best among 六曜. Mei-Shun dropped in the nearest shrine on the way to the hospital where she reserved an examination. Dear Gods, please take her gratitude for greeting you in daylight on 朔日 with no moon at night. Now what luck would you give Shin and his wife by omikuji lots? Oh, 2 吉=kichi numbered 45 and 47.
Big Baguette?
StandardWell, it is udon noodle. Shin, accompanied by Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, drove Ms. Moon toward a restaurant famous for such size. The husband chose one called 田舎うどん, simmered in miso soup; the wife ちからうどん soy-sauce soup poured on, topped with baked rice cakes. It is so thick that nobody would slurp — must cut to bite, using smaller chopsticks.
Amusement Added
Standard… into sunset violet from night-sky cobalt blue. Oh, beautiful 3rd crescent, great to see you again. This is the last day of solar April, which reminds Mei-Shun of the number Ms. Moon carries — it is like February 29th in leap years only. At Dr. N‘s clinic, patients must input theirs into the system when going under car park gate. Ms. Scarlet never helps above driver in her ivory friend.
Noble Note
StandardLunar April starts from today. Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine driving Ms. Scarlet who returned last week. She actually meant to come on foot, yet a sudden rainfall prevented her from good exercise. After greeting Gods, she drew 2 omikuji lots; one for Shin, the other herself. Oh, No. 1 大吉= the most lucky and No. 33 吉=lucky were given. You helped for the latter to mom, fluffy honey?
Gentle Green
StandardOh mom, you have red eyes. They are for white rabbits, not for breed of mine or yours either. She got on Ms. Moon at 11 : 22, drove toward a clinic in Tsukuba managed by her home ophthalmologist Dr. N. Cherry blossom along one of main streets is over, young leaves took good care of the patient. “You had some ingrown eyelashes while slight allergy”, said the former lady.

Morning Moon
StandardHi, gentle light from western sky. She always puts Mei-Shun at ease who should slip out of front door before dawn. It is her duty only occurs when Shin is on business trips. Neighbors seem still asleep, few cars seen on a street nearby. Hmm, you would therefore be 寝待月 whom they waited to meet while lying down on futon mats last night. Now mom’s back, shall we have a rest again?
Fluffy and Fruity
StandardMeow, it is date of month when I and mom, sometimes dad as well, visit “Arles”. However, it is closed on Tuesdays — as our horsey riding club. That was why we got on Ms. Moon to see artistic sweets there yesterday. Do you kind 527 followers wonder where Ms. Scarlet is? She is under periodic inspection right now, required by regulations. The former silver lady would help us for 2 weeks.

Glossy Green
StandardMei-Shun recently noticed that “Clair de Lune” composed by Master C. Debussy has the same melody in soprano and bass keys of 2 bars on the 2nd page. This beautiful score consists of chords and single notes at a ratio of 5 : 1, requires all 10 fingers to move through 6 pages. When her ears catch something weird, either of little ones tends to press wrong place.
Elegant Ears
StandardRainfall again, and Mei-Shun sits on a chair in front of Ms. Piano. She has got quite used to “Kanon” composed by Master J. Pachelbel. This great score gives her another pleasure: “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Master J. S. Bach has become easier. The former let her calm down, listen to and enjoy beauty of chord. Oh, 6th crescent, happy to see you in northwestern sky after dark.
