A Life With Wool

An online journal of my creative life


Sunday Vibes

“Sunday is a day to relax, reflect, and recharge. Take a break from the chaos and find peace in the simple things.” – Unknown

I woke up to a cool breezy morning, and happy that we will only be in the 80s today, which can be a little unusual this time of year in Phoenix but doubt anyone is complaining as the heat of the summer is just around the corner. Sundays are always our day to stay home. We have no plans for today, other than prepping meals for the week, so a movie might be in store for later in the day or possibly reading.


This morning I checked on our small container garden, which truly is growing leaps and bounds. I am so excited about all the growth, and with the cool nights, days in the 80s and 90s, everything is doing well. I just might end up having cucumbers and zucchini, fingers crossed.

I am truly looking forward to a relaxing day and plan to finish spinning my Shetland wool that I started spinning a month ago. This fiber is so soft and I am really enjoying the process of spinning it. I only have the small amount left to go (shown below), and then will start spinning the next natural color I have.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

  1. Your garden looks like it is doing very well. I’m still considering whether I want to give veggies a try again.

    1. Thank you so much Dee, so far it is doing and hopefully it will continue to do well. You still have time to decide, and flowers are always nice too if you decide against veggies.

  2. Your garden path looks great. I’ve started some cucumber plants. They still need several weeks before they are large enough to be transplanted outdoors. Hubby wants me to plant them in our awful clay soil. I’m thinking I’m going to plant at least one in a pot in the hopes of actually getting a few cucumbers. He plants his tomatoes in pots since that’s the only way we can keep the critters away from them.

    1. Thank you Maureen and I am excited about my cucumbers. My mom use to grow hers in old tires, kind of a southern thing, zucchini too. I’m not sure clay soil would be good unless you add a lot of good mulch in with it.

  4. Your plants look so healthy! Looks like they are thriving in that environment – hope you get your produce. There is nothing quite like harvesting your own veggies, right? That is such a pretty garden area. I love this time of year when we can actually get out and enjoy our gardens without burning up. 😉
