Baby Ball

Standard

Shin and Mei-Shun weed their garden on weekend these days; the husband uses electric cutter and lawn mower, the wife broom and hands. When she pulled some along exterior wall, a little cactus of her nail size was found. Yes, mom-in-law grew your breeds here before — 2 years have already passed since we were forced to remove your friends and parents in preparation for repainting.

Noble Note

Standard

Lunar April starts from today. Mei-Shun visited the nearest shrine driving Ms. Scarlet who returned last week. She actually meant to come on foot, yet a sudden rainfall prevented her from good exercise. After greeting Gods, she drew 2 omikuji lots; one for Shin, the other herself. Oh, No. 1 大吉= the most lucky and No. 33 吉=lucky were given. You helped for the latter to mom, fluffy honey?

Perfect Pink

Standard

We have several, serial 夏日 this week; at 25 degrees Celsius or higher temperature joined current spring month, along with a few snowy days. Such a radical change within a short term might affect Mei-Shun who had heat rash on the back. She therefore met a dermatologist instead of Mr. Marumorita today — not for any cream but to remove corns on bottoms of her feet.

Sakura Soon

Standard

We have 春分=vernal equinox, the 4th of 二十四節気 today. Sunlight has drawn toward south, helps mom to put less shades on the floor. Momo-chan, our garden princess grows more and more buds who turned light pink from silver. Backyard plum tree is almost in full blossom, giving gentle scent. Cherry flowers are on our table, or precisely in a mug resided by my friends smiling. Purr … purrr …

Joy of Plum: 3

Standard

Oh, our backyard 梅 opened white flowers. It has got warmer than usual from yesterday, might let it go ahead. This tree is a kind of chimerical, whose solo branch blooms in pink. It is more flamboyant compared to others, yet Mei-Shun prefers the latter. One of reasons is that their buds resemble pearls. They also seem to give softer scent, enter houses with plum lovers.

Candy and Carrot

Standard

Here I am, in 17 paws or baby 巳 heads. This number of Gion Festival 前祭 date should have been included within your favorite list, mom. 24 as well for 後祭 both dad and you prefer. By the way, Mr. Marumorita who nicely danced with us yesterday, would soon become 7 years old. We are seeing him on his birthday 21st, happy to prepare good gifts. Purr … purrr …

Beauty to Bright

Standard

Here Princess Cymby opened as many as 8 flowers. Since she loosened 3 buds on Saturday, round shapes changed into stars one after another. Mei-Shun actually felt a bit sorry for gorgeous roses from Shin as they wither day by day — she has pulled some out of a vase, hung them outdoors to dry. However, it has become clear to her that a message from a queen bouquet reached a young lady.

Sweet Soon

Standard

Here Princess Cymby would arrive. Mei-Shun’s orchid ladies including this Highness and Mademoiselle Vert kindly bloom on happy anniversaries; Children’s Day, Christmas Eve/Day, her birthday, etc. That is because you bring Mikan-chan within each flower — is mom right, honey? Since coming 23rd and 24th mean above 2nds on lunar calendar, bright yellow in her eyes would return.

Time to Time

Standard

A weather forecaster told us this morning that sunrise delayed the most at 6 : 51 on January 13th, birthday of Mei-Shun. Sunset got the earliest at 16 : 28 on December 12th last year, he said. The shortest daytime comes on 冬至=toji, the 4th of winter 二十四節気 on December 21st; seems to include both of above, yet actually does not. Longer days makes it easier to start anyway.

Graceful Green

Standard

Please let Mei-Shun apologize if you kind 522 followers have seen above title here before. It is because she is delighted with Princess Cymby, one of whose flower buds was found open at the cusp this morning. The other is still shorter, takes longer to follow her elder sister. Tiny ants live on them, made her worry that they bite young babies in a pod shell. It was just groundless: they were simply sunbathing.
