Down a fever with Geranium

 When you have a fever, you should go to a clinic immediately and, whether it's the flu or coronavirus, get tested and get the appropriate medication prescribed. 

 If we can always go to the hospital like that, there is no problem. But We never know what will happen in life..  We call this plant "Yukinoshita ( under the show) as the name suggests , its leaves are green even under the snow. Notice the patterns and hairs (?)on the leave.

Its English name is " Strawberry Geranium.  Find out how to grow it and plant it in the shade.

Drinking Squeezed juice from the leaves will bring down a fever.  It's also effective otitis externa of child ( apply the liquid to the tip cotton swab and place it directly into the ear ) 

 Last year, there were a lot of foreign tourists in Japan and the coronavirus was very very  prevalent.　My husband suddenly developed a high fever and seemed to be in a bad mood, so we went to the clinic and the test revealed that he had coronavirus. 

 I recommend  "Zocova , as my husband recovered quickly.

And me, I foolishly slept together with husband on the bed because I was worried him. Next day I also had a fever, but no matter how many times I was tested, neither corona nor influenza was detected. The doctor prescribed me a regular cold medicine, but even after taking it, my stomach just hurt and my fever did not go down.  So I tried an old folk remedy. After drinking this geranium juice, my fever went down immediately. 

I have decided to take another test of this juice once again, but since then I have not had a fever ...

These small white flowers are geraniums. The leaves can be rubbed well with salt to soften them and eaten as a salad. Recently, they have been added to skin lotions for their whitening properties.

I have them planted all over my garden, so if you live in Japan I can send you some seedlings.

Hello dear, How are you doing ? This year, it seems like summer will come after winter. I've been taking a break from knitting and using my sewing machine a lot.  This is probably 1960's pattern...

 I sewed it without a collar.  and I Prefer to finish with side hook than back zipper.

Next, I removed the darts from the waist. It's a looser fit and more comfortable.

 Adding a belt will change the look.

There was a leftover fabric from the dress so I sewed a waistcoat with it for my husband. You look that I messed up the hem but it isn't noticeable when he wore it !  Also used the same scraps for the lining too.

There are something nice we can sew without even a meter or a yard :)
