Mei-Shun loves sakura refreshments including tea. Shin knows it well, kindly brings various souvenirs in lovely pink shades. Japanese sweets, cookie, cake and jelly often feature that flower from March to current month; 山櫻=wild cherry, artificial 染井吉野 and double 八重桜 make our minds full of happiness. Mouths of most she believes, caressing a silver coat on a pancake cushion.
We have 小暑=shou-sho, the 5th of summer 二十四節気 today while also 七夕=tanabata, when 織姫=orihime and 牽牛=kengyu meet at night across the Milky Way. Since Mei-Shun often confuse 天の川 with 銀河, she checked up these words online. They say solar system is included in 天の川銀河 or 銀河系. However, there are a lot of the latter according to Shin.
Almost 2 months have passed since Princess Cymby opened her first flower. One night Mei-Shun approached her nose to these ladies, noticed them give gentle aroma like dandelion. She has wondered so far why they have tiny, lovely drops of syrup under petals and stalk crotches — normal for plants to call bees and butterflies aiming pollination. Great to know that you are able to make seeds.
Here it comes today, one of anniversaries for Shin and Mei-Shun. After driving the husband to the nearest station in earlier morning, the wife returned home to clean, wash, dry and cook for a party at night. A messenger bouquet arrived in vivacious colors, let her e-mail him immediately. Mikan-chan, dad likes mom’s chiffon cake whose whipped cream you prefer.
Thanks a million, Mr. M. You are the first rucksack Mei-Shun purchased. It might be decades before when she started to work for N. Co., Ltd. after graduating from an university. She met Shin there, while just a good friend at the time she fell in love with you. Always on her back in walking, your logotype print was removed little by little, string seams frayed.
We have 小暑=shousho, the 5th of summer 二十四節気 today. Rainy season is expected to finish soon on solar calendar, yet seems to prolong this year as well. And 七夕=tanabata to celebrate annual rendezvous for 織姫=ori-hime represented by Vega and 彦星=hikoboshi by Altair, normally difficult to see them in the sky from the ground. However, kind slight sunlight reached Mei-Shun who loves to dry futon outdoors.
Mei-Shun cleaned a mirror whose grapevine frame is very cute. She brought it from her parents’ home when married with Shin. However, it reflects her face looking older, maybe because it has been forced to stay in dust since moved to Ibaraki. It is one of sacred items which symbolize Gods at shrines for example, must be kept shining. Now we would expect together that round beauty in the sky tonight.
Thank you so much, Professor M or Shimaneko-sensei. Yes, Mei-Shun anticipated a “supermoon” and total eclipse of it tonight. Princess Maria and Ms. Last One, are you interested in it? Please listen, there seems to be less people outdoors in daytime. That might be because many of them prepared to observe this natural, yet incredible phenomenon.
… or China Town Mei-Shun means. Her favorite weather forecast aired in the evening sometimes features night view of the most famous port city in Kanto area, attracts her so much that she asked Shin a drive on weekend. Precious sunlight during rainy season let them feel satisfied with beautiful sight, strolling around flamboyant streets. 福満園 and 聘珍樓 are on their recommendation list.
Thank you so much, Ms. Last One. You played a role of Mei-Shun’s partner for gallop yesterday, very well done. Do you know that piano score aired in the field? It is “A Maiden’s Prayer” composed by Ms. Badarzewska. Actually, she seems to be featured often these days. A professional pianist chose it on TV, let above amateur know that she does not need to be in a hurry. Slowly, precisely and amorously.
