It was a bit cloudy this morning. Mei-Shun therefore sang with Ms. Piano scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven as usual. And yes, her forecast was correct: a rainfall followed from early afternoon. However, when she said thanks a lot for giving her a nice time, a page of the former suddenly fell on keys. Dear Sir, is it your message to mean something?
We have 清明=sei-mei, the 5th of spring 二十四節気 today. Mei-Shun still coughs, yet managed to go out on Mr. Diamante toward her horsey riding club. Cherry trees covered with petals only are almost over, replaced by wilder breed. She prefers it to more artificial ones, enjoying young leaves and flowers at the same time. This place also accommodates white blossom to light pink.
We have 春分=shunbun, vernal equinox and the 4th of spring 二十四節気 today. Momo-chan, garden princess at Mei-Shun’s home, started to bloom last week. Thanks to warmer-than-usual temperature, she has already put on 80% of her kimono in bright pink. Please do not dance too fast, Your Highness. The later 100% follows, the more it would be appreciated.
Here is Princess Cymby with two bouquets. Mei-Shun feels really happy to see them grow day by day, while elder one already has a bud change into yellow from green. You take nearly a whole month to bloom, honey, who remind her of a decade before — sister Kasumi, another 名取 student of beloved Master Mei-Shu, kindly gave you to her after performing 島の千歳.
Real winter has come, or at least Mei-Shun and her family feel so these several days. Ms. Scarlet is frozen on all windows when she drives Shin to the nearest station, let the wife rush to the bathtub for warm water. However, 霜柱=frost needle plants appear in her mother’s garden thanks to such low temperature. Fallen petals of camellia sasanqua give a chic carpet.
Here comes a new kettle to serve Mei-Shun. Among various coloring for this product, she took above the best. Shin also chose it by chance, when his wife offered images on Internet. Named “seabed”, it shows the maximum level of water: one-finger below spout. Well, is it similar to Ms. Iron? If so, it might be this careless user who broke that diligent predecessor.
Mom cleaned up rooms yesterday to draw Mr. Blue from 押入れ=Japanese-style closet again, purr. Since it is said to be freezing in December, she decided to get him ready for dad who is more sensitive to such weather than me. Another news came to her exultation: a sumo wrestler she likes will return to a 関取=seki-tori, up into 十両 rank after a whole year.

Mei-Shun had craved to gain two teapots; one for Japanese green, the other for reddish leaves. She found the latter shown above left, at a 300-yen shop whose design is quite nice, while not so suitable to make green tea. The former right, took more than a month to see at 益子, 15 times in price. Such difference does not matter to her: each of them has respective role.
Solar November, while the last nine weeks of 2022 starts with 大安=tai-an, the best day in 六曜. Oh, the 1st of lunar months are fixed, like latest October 25 was 仏滅=butsu-metsu, the worst. It is always exciting for Mei-Shun to learn novel matters. Do you agree with her, Ms. Piano? She made an appointment to tune you soon, by a new person this time.
Mei-Shun is a green tea lover: she enjoys it almost every day, all through the year. Now are cans of her favorite leaves going empty while tablets, balls and bags of Chinese tea arrived. Here are excellent breeds to replenish a couple of pottery from Hong Kong stored in a cupboard for decades. Hello, great to see you two again. Shall we enjoy a full moon tonight together?
