It was cloudy this morning. Well, no problem. We have daylight indoors — she prefers chilly weather to keep these lights on. And following slight sunshine in the afternoon, one of her twin sisters has woken up.

Here She Comes
StandardHer first bloom means that winter would follow soon. She grows fastest, while her twin sisters still look green. We took them and Mr. Avocado indoors to wait for spring together.
Yellow Combination
StandardAfter driving Shin to the nearest station, Mei-Shun visited a park to see a row of gingko trees. Autumn hand certainly touched them; leaves started to turn yellow. And so are our Yellow card buds.
Morning, chickens.
I’m first.
And we follow.

StandardNothing serious as usual. Thank you so much, Dr. A. Autumn steps little by little into the hospital garden. The pond in front of the entrance has been nicely cleaned. Mei-Shun is not sure since when, yet the princess has not been seen these days. Did she truly exist? Or was that beautiful creature a messenger, as Shin says?
Twins Follow
StandardYes, 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
StandardTora-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.
Hello Again
StandardWhat 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.

StandardHappy 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
StandardAfter 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
StandardMei-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!
