Rice field

2005-09-29 | rice field (farming)
September 26

The color of rice fields are changing gold day by day.

Soon they will harvest rice-plants.

As they weren't damaged by heavy wind by typhoon and other conditions were also good this year, the rice harvest will be rich.

I heard they had already harvested in some district and that new-rice were sold.

Sponge gourd

2005-09-24 | plant
These are flowers and fruit of 'Sponge gourd';(He-chi-ma).

We can make a sponge from the fruit.
After soaking it into water for some time, we remove rotten flesh and cuticle.
Only the fibers are left and we can use it as a sponge.



We can make make-up water from the plant.
First we cut its vine and gather water into a pot.
And we put some oil or like that into the water.
It is natural water, so it is good for our skin.

The water is also used as cough stop.

I had ever made them, but I don't now.

History repeat itself.

So we can learn many things from the history.
In spite of that, we repeat stupid things, for example, like war.

So to speak, our history is the one of wars!

The flower of Abtuilon bloomed.

I mentioned about this flower in my blog last year too.
I'm sorry but I seemed to have misunderstood a little.

I meant this flower at that article.

The red little flower in the article last year is called 'Tyrolian lamp'.
