Mei-Shun pulled Mr. Blue out of a closet, fed him preparing for tomorrow morning – weather forecasts said it might count shocking 3 degrees Celsius. 2026 saw 真夏日 in late October, then such December temperature in one-month advance. Mr. Air Conditioner, please wait a little. She would clean up your filter to give long holidays until next summer.
This windy morning saw Mei-Shun walk toward a nearby hair salon, in high heels as usual. Oh? There is a car parked facing shop entrance, not her home beautician’s. “Your reservation is from 11:00”. All right, she left tasks at home undone: 10-minute, to-and-fro exercise twice would be nice. It severely blew against her, became 2026 木枯らし１号=1st winter gale of Tokyo area.
Our friends living in water are main residents here, yet some came from land. Mr. or Ms. Lizard, your warm smile was shared with a sea lion lady on poolside. Such basking was enjoyed by fluffy 縄文柴犬 dog and an otter couple as well. Bright sunshine made human beings rush toward a souvenir shop serving monaka wafer ice cream, shaped like coelacanth.
Momo-chan, our garden princess puts on a dozen of pink flowers these days, attended by similar green leaves. Mei-Shun has seen this beauty in the same kimono several years before – might experience quite severer summer. Many baby buds stay at branches, covered with cocoon-like silver shells. However, their spring stage seems to require more nutrition.
We have 寒露=kanro, the 5th of autumnal 二十四節気 today. Yes, it finally has come – later sunrises, earlier sunsets are seen; cooler dawn and dusk felt. Momo-chan took off green yukata, grows new leaves blooming a few. A hygrometer set within a clock shows below 50%. That is not why Mei-Shun made disastrous mistakes in your beautiful scores, Master Beethoven?
… Mei-Shun would not take in a horsey riding field. We are on the last day of solar September, meaning her first “summer vacation” ends after as long as 4 months. This period was really inundated by rainfalls, which make her cancel any lessons; she is made of sugar. With Wednesday treats her to sweets, final piece of good chocolate from the U.S.A. was consumed.
Hello 7th crescent, great to see you. Clouds of Mikan-chan’s coat shade have covered that celestial beauty so far, excepting new moon on 11th. Shin headed Haneda Airport by Ms. Moon early in the morning: his destination is London this time. When Mei-Shun gazed after him, her nose might catch fragrant olive. It lets her recall high-school festival decades before.
Mei-Shun found clear 十三夜 yesterday, the second best shape of that celestial beauty in night sky. Solar August 2026 would expect 4 including above, 小望月or 幾望, 十五夜 and 満月; makes her look forward to see them all. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Ibaraki Prefecture heard the 2nd serial heatstroke alert aired today. That means at least half of her wish could come true.
Mei-Shun walked toward a hair salon in high heels. Thunderstorm in daytime washed air and ground, let her feel refreshed. Hello 百日紅=crape myrtle, great to see you again. Your breed blooms later this summer, might prefer higher temperature. She actually worried about your health; a next-door neighbor kept gorgeous one just under her kitchen window, who fell in several years.
… schoolchildren on summer holiday seem like to visit: we have the former day last month, while the latter today. However, Typhoon 15th or Chan-hom over Pacific Ocean heads west, might make the first landfall in Ibaraki Prefecture at night. Shin and Mei-Shun therefore took early care of garden plants; the husband used a lawn mower, the wife fixed Momo-chan babies’ poles.
