We have 寒露=kanro, the 5th of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It is said to be a season when cold dew falls on grass leaves in early mornings, often followed by blue sky. However, a cool rainfall replaces such bright weather — just opposite to yesterday with amazing 30 degrees Celsius or higher in Tsukuba. Mei-Shun took 3 classes, saw her 2nd best weight after extraordinary perspiration.
It is a bit confusing for Mei-Shun to expect a full moon tonight, instead of 仲秋の名月 yesterday. Her lunar diary explains that the latter may not always be the 15th from astronomical viewpoint, yet attractive enough in clear autumnal sky called the prettiest. All right, it was therefore 十三夜 or the 2nd best seen on Monday. Professor M, a great photographer kindly taught her.
Mei-Shun walked to a hair salon in high-heeled pumps instead of summer sandals. She recognized both insoles of the latter are torn when put them on. It might be a message from autumn already reached us, even in such sweltering air. Since her mother comes back from 草津 today, she is a bit worried about condition of an octogenarian. Yet oh, a weather forecast says that it would be cooler from Mikan-chan’s birthday.
Mei-Shun used no air conditioner yesterday: only fans worked even after a bath. Such fine condition and sunset a few minutes after 18 : 00 let her feel that autumn has truly come. Looking back weeks recently passed, we scarcely saw any light in the sky caused by typhoons. On the contrary, sunny today forced her to grab a remote before 10 : 00. Could we see a 3rd crescent in the evening?
Tokyo, I and mom mean. Since an accident prevented us from visiting a hair salon last week, we were worried about similar occurrences caused by Typhoon Shanshan this time. Although it made landfall in Kagoshima, Kyushu in the morning, we had no rainfall when got on Ms. Scarlet before 13 : 00. Oh, it is rare to see a freight train at our nearest station, long like my tail.

Well, Mei-Shun meant to visit a hair salon nearby Tokyo Station for a perm today. She has canceled/postponed appointments over and over, mainly caused by such a torrid summer. It would get harder, yet joy of each 4 seasons seems to always exist. By the way, a train accident prevented her again from doing above. She wishes to make it next week, after passing 処暑=sho-sho, the 2nd of autumnal 二十四節気 yesterday.
Typhoon Ampil is jogging toward north along eastern coast of Kanto area. Weather forecasts warn us of severe storm, let Mikan-chan, Mei-Shun and mom-in-law shut themselves up at home. On the contrary, Shin went out by Ms. Moon for Tokyo office. Please do not worry about him, the kindest 518 followers. He is one of the best drivers in our country. By the way, Friday end of obon holidays would make Kyoto crowded with 五山送り火 sightseers.
Mei-Shun enjoys their chorus at horsey riding clubs both in Tsukuba and 龍ヶ崎, while not so much around home. More of them come out of the ground every 7 years she heard, 2024 might be between peaks. Do you like it, Mr. MATSURI? He might be her best partner to dance right now. After briefly grooming him, she looked up to meet a 6th crescent in light pink above woods.
This is the end of ミズナラ=mizu-nara whisky Mei-Shun likes. It was an year-end gift from Mr. F, owner of a car park Shin rents. Sumo 七月場所 was also over yesterday, celebrating the highest 横綱 rank with his 10th triumph. On the contrary, she was forced to cancel lessons at her horsey riding club again: today saw 38 degrees Celsius or higher, better than other Kanto prefectures.
We had 大暑=taisho, the 6th and last summer 二十四節気 yesterday. Mei-Shun was forced to cancel dancing with Mr. White Mocha — weather forecasts warned mercury exceed 35 degrees Celsius. She therefore enjoyed singing with Ms. Piano at home instead, trying to memorize whole score of “Clair de Lune”. Yes, the 1st page is actually left for her last challenge.
