Chasing the Moon

Somewhere above the cloak shrouding Tokyo tonight hovers a brilliant hunter's moon I want so much to see!  I keep returning to our apartment window to scan our fetch of sky and I am repeatedly disappointed...the sky is bright, but only thanks to the streetlights twinkling below. There will be no hunter's moon for me tonight! For those who are lucky enough, enjoy this heavenly gift!

While the sight of this gorgeous moon eludes me, I've received a gift of another sort this week:  Evelyn is back!  Her fever finally broke after a feisty seven-day run and I am hugely grateful that she has returned to her spunky little self. We went out as a family today for the first time since last weekend and it was fun to watch her boldly conquer the train station, confidently feeding her ticket into the machines and singing sayonara over her shoulder as she skipped through the gates. Look out, Tokyo. Evelyn is indeed BACK!

It is not uncommon to see people wearing these masks, in some cases as a
measure to prevent the spread of illnesses. Isn't that considerate?
Obviously, Evelyn's needs a trip to the seamstress...
