A bit smelly, it prevents Mei-Shun from walking on fallen fruits. 乙戸沼 Park is a public one, which Tsuchiura City is in charge of, regularly cleaned and treated. Weeds are well cut in summer to avoid vexatious flies and mosquitoes, serve us a fine environment to walk and jog. However, this autumn has much rain. Many of workers who take care of parks are gray-haired maybe, give labor in clear days only. Thanks to it, beautiful cherry leaves turned into red were kept under the trees.
One year has passed since Shin brought his wife to the horse-riding club. At first, just seeing horseies satisfied her. Their kindness to let her ride on gave the happiest entertainment. Now getting used to it, she wants more: she would like to be friends with that beautiful animal. She has only admired them so far, allowed them to do as they like. However, it might not be the right attitude toward her partners. On an equal footing, a horse and a human being should combine with each other to create great performances.
It makes us feel real beginning of autumn to see golden rice harvest. However, attacked by extraordinary summer typhoons, some of rice ears lean to the ground, looked disappointed this year. Mei-Shun sympathized with them walking along. Now it is over by half: she found them dried on 稲木=inagi or inaki, bamboo hangers constructed on rice paddies after harvest. Bundled ears are spread under sunlight for longer shelflife and better taste.
Please find our Japanese-style bedroom reset. It took just 30 minutes for the master to bring in and place 6 mats. Looked like a very simple jigsaw puzzle, he did the same as previous ones fit onto buffers. Oh, how nice to see this green! They also give out refreshing scent. “Such freshness would be kept for around 3 months”, the master said. Well, it means this summer serves us cooler nights (^^),
乙戸沼 Park accommodates one of Mei-Shun’s favorite wild flowers called 捩花=neji-bana. They share simbiotic bacteria with some kind of lawn, she has heard. Actually, they had been found in our garden years before, made Mei-Shun very happy. However, many mower users including Shin are not interested in that lovely little orchid at all, tend to eradicate them in a minute…
We meet the sun as early as 5 o’clock in summer, yet he never appears 3 hours later today. Well, quite lucky for Mei-Shun — it is so nice to walk in morning fog. Birds seem stay in the bed, so do annoying flies above muddy water. She could save sunscreen cream as well, only a cap would work in this cool condition.
It has already reached Kanto area, I heard. Meow, that’s why — this season makes me particularly sleepy. It accommodates hydrangea in blue, pink and white at almost every home around here, mom told me. Well, I’m not interested in stepping into others’ territory, yet please find her collection below. Purr …

When they bloom to give that sweet and heavy scent, Mei-Shun feels rainy season reaches us soon. The shrine she pays a visit on her walking way seems to accommodate several trees with yellowish white tails. It was cooler this morning, let her recognize them after perspiration.
They have joined into the picture Mei-Shun enjoys in the morning. Green touch increases day by day, makes it straight toward summer. It is so nice to see rice paddies grow to feed many birds, and us finally in autumn.
It was really like summer today. I looked for the best place to take a nap, finally stayed in my current bed during daytime. Mom opened windows, nice wind smoothes me down. Purr, I love natural air … oh? Already in the evening? Where’s mom? Ah, she is dozing off on the sofa. I prefer her legs covered with a blanket.
