And solar November starts from today. However, Mei-Shun is a bit scare of 夏日=summer day in higher than 25 degrees Celsius from tomorrow. They say it would happen approximately every decade. How about 2013? Her memory does not save data of hot autumn. 2012 was the year when she gained 名取 diploma. Examined by 京鹿子娘道成寺, that August was really torrid.

Frost Fall
StandardAnd 霜降=soko, the 6th of autumnal 二十四節気 we have today. Mei-Shun enjoyed driving toward another horsey riding club in Ibaraki Prefecture yesterday — trees lining streets in Tsukuba started to change green clothes. Hello Mr. 翼=wings, great to see you for her first lesson here to dance. This chestnut Pegasus also taught her enormous assistance by Mr. Sirius.
Autumn Air
StandardIt has finally come. May Mei-Shun believe that summer would not return anymore, Ms. Manifest? She kindly danced with this poor rider, giving her a little confidence. She would repeat while enjoy practice with you to improve her technique. Please look at this image of stormy cloud taken between 宮崎 and 羽田 Airports by Shin. It resembles a big soft serve his wife reserves in a refrigerator, doesn’t it?
Summer Semblance
StandardMei-Shun rode on Mr. E, her electric bicycle to visit a pharmacy. She received a prescription from a dermatologist, which expires tomorrow. It is a nice day for cycling: sunny and humid a bit, yet windy. Hmm, good exercise to go routes she usually drives. It is interesting as well to see back door of her home gynecologist clinic. Cherry trees are changing green coats to red.
Slight Sunshine
StandardMei-Shun walked to a hair salon in cooler morning. It rains a bit, stops for a while, then drops again even in just 5 minutes. According to weather forecasts, Typhoon Yun-Yeung approaches 伊豆 Islands affecting Kanto area. Yes, we have 二百十日 on 1st of this month: 210th day from 立春=risshun. It warns us of sequential typhoons followed by rainstorm.
Moon Master
StandardWe are expecting a monthly Blue Moon, the biggest in 2023 tonight. At the end of solar August, Mei-Shun feels summer would really be over; sunrise is getting later, sunset earlier, sunshine creeps into rooms more and more in daytime. She headed her horsey riding club for a class starts at 16 : 00. It is always nice to walk and trot with you, Ms. Last One.
Cicada Chorus
StandardWe have 処暑=shosho, the 2nd of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It is said heat would soon be cooled down, while sultry air still stays around us. On the other hand, it gives Mei-Shun an impression that singing guys are not so many this year: almost none flew onto our screen windows. Preferring shady woods like the nearest shrine, they might already feel the next season.
Fly Guy
StandardWe have 立秋=risshu, the 1st of autumnal 二十四節気 today. It seems quite real with a slight rainfall in early morning: cool wind strokes sleepy Mei-Shun’s cheeks. She got up at 4 : 00 to let Shin drive safely toward Haneda Airport — Osaka is waiting for him. He came back from the U. S. around 24 hours before, keeps working to get rid of jet lag mood. Is it right or wrong?
Leaving Leaves
StandardOh, Mademoiselle Vert, you carry 4 bananas under flowers kept for a whole month. Real ones Mei-Shun purchased the other day were frozen to serve as a kind of ice cream. Kidding aside, it is preparation to remove them on the bottom while growing babies on the top. Such power to survive in a little pot is genuinely revered by mom, who is always ready to help you.
Sun & Storm
StandardSphygmomanometer? What a difficult name to call a medical apparatus! Mei-Shun uses it these days in early mornings. According to her mother, it is better to measure twice: when we are tense, shocking numbers often appear on the display. All the same at a hospital for checkup. She totally understands and follows above advice. If necessary, a photo of good results at home would be taken.
