Peach Perhaps

Standard

Mei-Shun finally separated Momo-chan babies: elder one stays in a grape basket, younger moved into a smaller pot. When she dug their soil cushion, the latter was found tangled with a piece of net by root. She cut and let it go together, then turn to the former. Could you keep at a distance from this handle, remove such a ceiling for your head? She wishes you two healthy growths.

Beauty Before

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet in early morning rain. The husband heads the U.S.A., yet Ms. Moon, his usual partner toward airports is hurt a little. The wife therefore said good day to him at the nearest station. When she returned home, almost no drop fell from gray sky – we could expect a beautiful 上弦 half moon tonight. Now is her time of high heels and walking 5 minutes.

Glossy Green

Standard

Lunar March starts from today, with no moon tonight. Mei-Shun therefore practiced scores featuring that celestial beauty as usual, on Ms. Piano of course. She found Mademoiselle Vert growing 3 flower buds, the most so far. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Princess Cymby has closed 16 of hers among 22. Please be kind enough to let her thank Your Highness.

May Baby

Standard

Mei-Shun’s flowerpot, shaped like a basket with a grape pattern, embraces 2 buds. One was found weeks before, the other just a few days. When she recognized the latter, took it as an interloper; tried to remove. Oops, quite strong a feel it has; resembles its elder sister (perhaps). She grew so fast that nearly touches the handle. Princess Cymby, shall we plant her in our garden, back to mother’s arms?

Rainbow after Rain

Standard

Stormy weather has finally gone; quiet air would soon embrace a full moon, called by that shade of spring flowers tonight. Or it might be blurred by clouds following wet morning. That is why Mei-Shun chose scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven. “Ständchen” by Master Schubert might be able to join her quiet repertoire … voilà, doubled arcs-en-ciel appear first.

Pottery Pattern

Standard

Kanto region had 春一番 today, 1st windstorm blows from south between 立春 and 春分; the 1st and 4th of whole and vernal 二十四節気. Mei-Shun took it does every year, while they say it only did 2 years before. Such fierce weather nearly let her give up walking to another hair salon nearby, yet she squeezed power in high heels. Here they serve curl after shampoo for her hair, no time to see a cup of tea.

Favorite Friend

Standard

We saw snow on 3rd, yet almost no rainfall so far. Mei-Shun therefore often sings rainy/snowy scores on Ms. Piano – oh, a music book accommodates “Ständchen” composed by Master Schubert does Prélude, op.28-15 “Raindrop” by M. Chopin as well. Since she practices the former every time when sits in front of this wooden lady, gentle shower would listen to them soon.

Gentle Gifts

Standard

We have 大寒=daikan, the 6th of winter while genuine last among 二十四節気 today. It means the coldest time in a year, might come true – a cold wave has come down from north, with freezing air to cover our Honshu. Quite dry as well, Mei-Shun cleared footing oasis for Mademoiselle Orange. She pulled 5 biggest roses, hang them next to Md. Rouge members.

Blew, Blown

Standard

It was quite warm yesterday, while windy again today. After finishing tasks at home, Mei-Shun got on Ms. Scarlet for shopping. She dropped in a tiny lottery stand nearby, yet it was closed – must be open from 10:30-16:30. Mom-in-law gave Shin a bundle of year-end one, which seems to win the same price. All right, she would wait another chance. By the way, why a broken futon peg lies in our garden?

Happy Horsey

Standard

Hi, Mr. MATSURI or Monsieur Fête. Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun are pleased to see you again, at the 1st lesson 2026. Cold sleet in early morning has gone, let them get on Ms. Scarlet before noon. Thanks a lot for your trying dance with them, yet it is a class from walk to trot only. By the way, do you know that current year represents 午=uma, your breed among十二支 Chinese zodiac?
