今日は地域の神社、氏神様の清掃当番の日だった。
草ボウボウで、とにかく虫が多いので、しっかり虫よけスプレーをして、お務めを果たしてきた。
隣組12軒のうち参加者は7名、これでも今回は出席率がいい方だ。
高齢者は出てくるのもなかなか困難で、数少ない若者は関心がない。
3人のときもあった。
この先はどうなるんだろう。
私は"WORKIN' HARD エプロン”をして、まるでプロフェッショナルみたいな出で立ちだったから、ちょっと頑張った。
高ーいところから誰かに見られてるような気がした。
昨日のNorth Sea Jazz Festivalの藤井風さんを想い出しながらの、我ながら軽快な箒裁きだったと思う。
ありがとう、風さん。
Today was my turn to clean the local shrine, the ujigami.
The area was overgrown with grass and there were so many bugs, so I sprayed on bug repellent and performed my duties.
Only seven of the 12 neighborhood families participated, which was a good turnout this time.
It was hard for the elderly to come out, and the few young people there were weren't interested.
Sometimes it was just three.
I wonder what will happen next.
I was wearing a "WORKIN' HARD apron" and looked like a professional, so I did my best.
I felt like someone was watching me from up high.
I remembered Fujii Kaze from the North Sea Jazz Festival yesterday, and I think I did a good job of cleaning up the mess with the broom.
Thanks, KAZE.
