Yesterday I finally got the last of the gnarly weed bulb roots out. My house has suddenly started rattling a lot more when the hay trucks roll by in the morning, so sleeping in wasn't really an option. It just finished raining so the soil was damp (and not frozen). I got all those little suckers out...I hope.
Continuing in the spirit of spring cleaning, I attempted to clean out the closet in my spare room. Tons of junk and old blankets that smelled bad. Empty boxes and cassette tapes. I took everything out and left it on the floor. After church today, I came home to organize things. I went to town to look for a shelf for my closet, but I didn't find anything I liked...or that was cheap. Then I saw it...in my spare room. The dining room table I no longer used/needed is now in my closet as a shelf. It was the perfect size and cost me no money! Winner winner chicken dinner!
It's Palm Sunday (I think) and nothing special at church. I'm kind of used to having palm branches at church on Palm Sunday. I'm used to things at church getting geared up for Easter. To be honest, I would have no idea when Easter is this year except that someone brought it up in our Bible study. In America, the supermarkets start getting their Easter baskets out. Peeps appear on the shelves. Pastels are suddenly in season. You know when Easter is coming. But here, no one knows what Easter is. No one really cares. Kodomo no hi (Children's Day/Boy's Day) is coming up and the stores are gearing up for that. I have yet to find a single chocolate bunny or pack of Peeps in town.
