PT, new dustpan, ACLU, Textiles and Tea, Kevin Aspaas

This morning you could really see how the sun is moving around with the season, the shadows  falling quite differently.

Today was a tapering-off session with Emil, nearly at the end of our six weeks, and I think he's enjoyed our work. He keeps exclaiming You listen! You do the work! Evidently not a given with PT patients.

We walked further than ever, not quite to the pond but a good twenty minutes. Great chat, too.  And more exercises, and I learned more about what's going on with the various body parts getting back in place. He's a great teacher to a receptive student. It's easy to listen when you feel well.

Then Ted and I listened to the blogistas who kindly explained there are long handled dustpans, what a concept. We found a broom handle, inserted it into the dustpan handle, et voila! Drumroll

And, in the mail today, my free handout cards in English and Spanish from ACLU 


They fold down to business card size, to fit in a wallet. I plan to share them at libraries etc.

And Textiles and Tea was a great young Navajo weaver, Kevin Aspaas. He spins, dyes and weaves the wool from his flock of traditional churro sheep. 

But he's innovative, too, working in wedge weave and combining it with twill. He also creates wool dresses for special commissions, designed to be family heirlooms.

Take a look 











This was a great episode, and now I really want to weave. And spin..

Happy day, everyone, this has been a great Tuesday around here. I'm hoping yours has been, too.
