muslin and the yerba mansa.  Wished that it was more red or orange but this is good.

the stick is good.   And tho the Cloth itself is not Ready,  i couldn't wait to see how it might go.  So this much.  When it's Right,  there will be many more strings but for now i can see that it will work as i envision it to.  So…Ok.  

And another grand day.  4 more wheelbarrows full to the tomato bed.  and really,  only one more needed.  Then on to the others.

Tay,  after a year and a half almost has suddenly become OK with throwing the tennis ball.  In the past,  she would carry it around but would not "give".  Jan the dog trainer said to ignore her if she would not give,  not play that game of trying to take it from her.  So i have done that.  But yesterday and today,  the game plan has changed.  She brings the ball,  i put my hand on it in her mouth and say Give.  Say it a few times,  looking into her eyes….and she Gives.  I throw.  She RUNS with great Joy and finds it.  This of course, is with the same right arm and right shoulder.  One more thing for those bones and ligaments to do,  but it's just OK this evening.  Instead of throwing it over handed,  i do a kind of sideways thing and it's ok.  and Ok is enough.  So it goes.

    Try the underhanded throw….and work on your left arm throwing too. nice development with Tay. Nice stick too. Don’t overwork your right shoulder for the next month while you’re doing arnica and the tea. Give it a rest as much as possible. Or not if you insist :–>

    Yerba mansa cloth is warm, a good cloth. You could not have found a more perfect stick because the stick needed to have movement for the flag cloth and this one undulates. Seeing the cloth up with strings on the stick, I see not a flag or even a boat but a cresting wave with sea foam; ocean colors and how wonderful to see this in the desert!

    there is a stick think that’s sold, although I’m betting you could make one. It’s shaped like an arm with a hand cupped to hold the ball. It helps you throw it farther with less effort on your part, even well with the other hand. I’ve seen it working. When I find a link I’ll send it. Easy on that shoulder. That kind of injury takes long healing at any age.
