Yes, here is another shy girl. She surprised Mei-Shun who was taking photo of yellow leaves in this cymbidium pot. They give a unique contrast with flower bud sisters, don’t they? Named “Yellow Card”, sounds a bit dangerous, yet means one of her owner’s favorite colors to put on.

Can you see me?

Winter Collection

Standard

Tora-chan is getting fluffy little by little these days. We see the great nature in her; she knows well that she has to stay outdoors, eats more to change her coat into winter version. Really a good girl you are.

Shining myself, meow.

Shining myself, meow.

Hello Again

Standard

What a happy surprise! Mei-Shun found our cymbidium has a flower bud this morning. And here might grow another, in similar place for the one bloomed in March. However, some instruction say that their flowering time starts in December. Oh, does our baby come out too soon? She has refused to move into a bigger pot, never let us cut her confused roots. Please do not hurry to live, honey.

After 27 Wks

Standard

Happy visit to the hospital again for Mei-Shun. Please, Dr. A, take her gratefulness. They have many gingko trees in parking area. That tasty nuts fell on the ground, before pressed under tyres maybe. Such a pity … mottainai. They should be picked up and soaked in water or covered with soil for a while. Not to be stigmatized with that odor.

Sits Alone

Standard

After taking a dental check from 16:00, Mei-Shun went shopping today. It gets dark earlier these days — and a bit cold. Mikan-chan immediately responds to this change. Occupying Lemon for a nap in daytime, she watches mom to jump on her legs in a second. Sorry, darling. Your dad comes home soon …

Showa Horse

Standard

Mei-Shun took a lesson on Seika, 30 years old, might be the oldest boy in this club. Horses age roughly 4 times faster than human beings, yet he never looks a senile 120-year-old. So we take him as a gentleman around 80 with graying hair, leading a halcyon, healthy life. By the way, people born in the Showa era (1926-89) are called Showa-jin (=man) these days, like Jomon (14,000-300 B.C.)-jin or Yayoi (300 B.C.-250 A.D.)-jin!

Supermoon!

Standard

We have it tonight. It is clear, the best condition to have a little party at home. Yesterday enjoyed the harvest moon, so two consecutive days of beauty in the sky, round-shape sweets on the table. It comes only once this year, compared to three times last year — very rare phenomena.

Happy harvest!

Happy harvest!

Introductory Lesson

Standard

Thanks, Maroo. He is very handsome and kind, a white pony, 20 years old, played a role of Mei-Shun’s partner yesterday. Our club let us prepare for riding; we have to brush his/her body, clean inside horseshoes, put cushions on the back, etc., before lessons. Nice idea it seems — we agree with them. Soft pats and gentle talking during preparation would help our wordless conversation.

Typhoon Etau

Standard

It raged through Chubu area yesterday, leaving hard rainfall around here. Mei-Shun heard a Heavy Rain Emergency Warning via our municipal radio communication system for the first time in her life. “Once in half a decade”, the weather forecast says. Shin told her to keep it on and stay home all day long. Yes, we are good girls. Please take care.

Chase the Sun

Standard

She made it. Our futon mats were hung in the balcony to dry. Only for a few hours, yet it satisfied Mei-Shun after rainy days of a week and more. In the afternoon, dark clouds came up to bring a shower for a while. The weather forecast says it will rain hard tomorrow. Well, it’s good for our plants. Oh, you prefer refreshed blanket, Mikan-chan.
